Scietists have discovered a way to allow spinach to send emails. We are not joking. Check out this incredible story of modern science.

After delays and a flap with the FAA, the Mars rocket prototype ran a vertical 10K on Tuesday.

When talking about Elon Musk, we must be prepared to talk about big numbers. The world’s richest man—he’s currently worth about $209 billion, give or take a billion—has designed electric powered cars that can drive (with stops for charging) the 28000-mile width of the United States.

Microfluidic device sheds light on how short-chain fatty acids produced by gut bacteria may influence neurological diseases.

Astronomers from the ARC Centre of Excellence for Gravitational Wave Discovery (OzGrav) and CSIRO have just observed bizarre, never-seen-before behavior from a ‘radio-loud’ magnetar—a rare type of neutron star and one of the strongest magnets in the Universe.

Their new findings, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society (MNRAS), suggest magnetars have more complex magnetic fields than previously thought – which may challenge theories of how they are born and evolve over time.

Magnetars are a rare type of rotating neutron star with some of the most powerful magnetic fields in the Universe. Astronomers have detected only thirty of these objects in and around the Milky Way —most of them detected by X-ray telescopes following a high-energy outburst.
