Taking 3D images underwater is tricky due to inconsistent lighting conditions and particles in the water that cause distortion. Researchers have created a novel prototype system that uses quantum technology and LiDAR to overcome these difficulties.

Traditionally, welding has been limited to materials that share similar properties. But now, scientists are claiming a breakthrough method that can weld together materials as different as glass and metal, thanks to ultrafast laser pulses.

​Projections for the way in which our planet will be affected by the current trend of rapid planetary warming are dire. Now, a new report says that if we keep cooking the planet, there will be mass starvation on ocean floors and a decrease in the human food supply as well.

A team at Herriot-Watt University’s Centre for Marine Biodiversity and Biotechnology has launched a Kickstarter campaign to help it develop "coralbots" that would help repair damage to coral reefs.

Physicists at Scotland’s Heriot-Watt University have created a 3D imaging camera system capable of resolving depth on a millimeter scale at distances of up to one kilometer.

In what is believed to be a first, scientists have arranged human embryonic stem cells using a 3D printing technique.

Scientists are developing autonomous "coralbots," that would work together to rebuild damaged coral reefs.

Researchers have managed to control quantum superpositions in silicon for the first time, paving the way to the dream of an affordable quantum computer.
