Imagine a swarm of genetically-engineered cyborg insects capable of flying around undetected while engaging in spying and other activities on behalf of government intelligence, the military or law enforcement agencies – or for that matter, a foreign power or terrorist organization. It may sound like science fiction, but the technology is real, and it’s very […]

For generations, scientists and the public alike have been fascinated by the tantalizing possibility that there may have once been intelligent humanoid-type creatures living on the planet we know as Mars. Until we reached the mysterious planet with our probes and rovers in the last few decades, all of this was mere speculation. But now […]

Since graphene’s discovery just over a decade ago, scientists have been exploring its remarkable properties and potential uses in a wide range of applications, including that of a superconductor. Superconductivity is the ability of certain materials to enable the flow of an electric current with little or zero resistance. This is usually only achieved at […]

Many people want to live forever, but not everyone can afford it. At the Alcor Life Extension Foundation in Scottsdale, AZ, it costs $200,000, plus monthly fees, for a body’s lifeless flesh to be drained of blood and filled with anti-freeze, wrapped and secured upside down in a liquid nitrogen tank called a dewar, and then hung suspended with a few other […]

When the TV shows The Six Million Dollar Man and The Bionic Woman were popular in the 1970s, it seemed that the futuristic bionic body parts and abilities of the leading characters, Steve Austin and Jaime Sommers, were just figments of the script writers’ imaginations.

Uber blames it on the humans who must be behind the wheel while Uber’s test automobiles are learning to drive themselves on California roads, says The Guardian. One car ploughed through “a pedestrian crosswalk in downtown” and another “entered an intersection” in San Francisco while the light was red. California motor vehicle authorities told Uber to stand down and get a “testing permit,” […]

Although this month’s much-heralded first delivery performed by a fully autonomous Amazon.com drone was, in effect, little more than a publicity stunt – beta testing of the company’s drone delivery service currently includes a total of only two customers living in rural England – Jeff Bezos’ dream of filling the skies with commercial drones ready […]

You may have heard about the Svalbard Global Seed Vault – a huge underground concrete structure dug into the side of a frozen mountain in a remote archipelago halfway between the Norwegian mainland and the North Pole – but is the facility really there to benefit mankind by protecting crop diversity, or does it serve […]

Should a Kickstarter campaign come to fruition, we may see a revolution in the way in which we keep our households clean and our families safe from bacteria born infections and diseases. It’s possible that in the foreseeable future, having to repeatedly perform the same menial work to clean countertops and other bacteria-prone items will […]

Scientist and researcher Madeleine Lancaster has been growing human brains inside of her lab at Cambridge University for the intention of performing experiments in order to understand brain disorders like autism, schizophrenia and other mental issues. Since more and more people seem to suffer from these disorders every year, there is no wonder why Lancaster and […]

The World Economic Forum (WEF), located in Geneva, Switzerland is an impressive consortium of the global leaders of governments, CEOs in media, entertainment, technology and finance as well as policy makers in academia, international agencies and non-governmental organizations (NGO).  The WEF meets annually in Davos to “improve the state of the world.” It is the WEF, according to Scienceworldreport.com, that declares we are in the midst of a “Fourth Industrial […]

Tiangong 1, China’s first space laboratory, will come to a fiery end in late 2017. The average decommissioned satellite either burns up over a specific ocean region, or is ejected to a far-off orbital graveyard. But Tiangong 1’s demise is shaping up to be something different. Article by Ben Guarino Chinese officials appeared to admit […]
