The world is at the start of a renaissance in supersonic and hypersonic flight that will transform aviation, but the effort will need steady commitment and funding if the United States wants to lead the way, congressional leaders and industry officials said at a forum late last month.

A commercial diver working near Haida Gwaii off Canada’s west coast has spotted a strange object on the seafloor that bears a striking resemblance to a nuclear device lost from a US B-36 bomber that crashed in the area 66 years ago. The Canadian government is sending naval ships to investigate.

Physicists reported this week the discovery of a jewel-like geometric object that dramatically simplifies calculations of particle interactions and challenges the notion that space and time are fundamental components of reality.

A ten-dimensional theory of gravity makes the same predictions as standard quantum physics in fewer dimensions.

It could soon be possible to make a light source out of bacteria.

A solar panel on your roof could soon capture drinkable water for your faucet.

A large space rock came fairly close to Earth on Sunday night. Astronomers knew it wasn’t going to hit Earth, thanks in part to a new tool NASA is developing for detecting potentially dangerous asteroids.

A designer claims that his concept for a 3-D printed cast would shorten the bone-healing process nearly 40%. We ask hand surgeon Michael Hausman to weigh in.

There is only a 1% chance of an S1 or greater Solar Radiation Storm for Halloween Weekend
