Moon-based 3D printers could make tools out of...
Humans have always been clever at finding things to make tools out of, but if you’re up on the Moon and you’re in a jam, you can’t really sit down in your spacesuit and knap a moon rock into the tool you need. So for future lunar explorers, the other option might be 3D printing tools out of moon dust. Because if there’s one thing the Moon has way too much of, it’s...

For the first time, scientists snap a picture of...
In 1953, scientists James D. Watson and Francis Crick first described the structure of DNA as a double helix. They knew they were correct, and their findings have been backed up by over a half century of science, but until just now, no one’s actually seen and photographed the double helix structure. Here it is.[[MORE]]
The structure of DNA was originally discovered using X-ray...

Christopher Nolan originally wanted Heath Ledger...
Heath Ledger’s performance as the Joker in The Dark Knight has already gone down in film legend, and it’s hard imagining Ledger playing anyone else in the movie. But apparently, when Christopher Nolan first approached Ledger about appearing in his Batman films, he was thinking Heath Ledger might have made a good Bruce Wayne starting in Batman Begins.
In addition, Christopher Nolan...

Just imagine Mars on Mardi Gras,...

The above photo is a frame from a 4D fetus scan showing a baby yawning in the womb. At this point in our lives, you and I take yawning for granted, but for a developing baby in the womb, something simple as a yawn could be a positive indicator that all the neural ingredients are coming together just as they should.[[MORE]]
The idea comes from researchers who used footage of foetuses at...

Well so far, the Large Hadron Collider hasn’t destroyed the universe, but it has possibly aided in the discovery of the Higgs boson (maybe), but it also has another trick up its sleeve: Creating an entirely new form of matter.[[MORE]]

There are hundreds of really old to ancient manuscripts out there in museums and libraries and collections that for one reason or another have yet to be deciphered. And when a code is finally broken, it unleashes new information about the past, and sometimes it reveals the existence of a secret society that existed in Germany in the 1740s.[[MORE]]
For years, Christiane Schaefer and Wolfgang...

A few months ago, Patrick Stewart confirmed he would be on board for the next X-Men movie subtitled ‘Days of Future Past’, and now it looks like Ian McKellan is also officially on board. They will be playing the “older” versions of Magneto and Xavier in some flash forward capacity that will bridge the gap between the first set an the second set of X-Men films.

Since the 1950s, the US Navy has been using trained dolphins and sea lions to defend harbors and other small waterways, retrieve sunken equipment and to search for underwater mines. But now in the 21st century, these military marine mammals can go back to being normal marine mammals, because the US Navy can do the same thing better and safer with robots.[[MORE]]
