The space rock which was spotted Oct. 19, 2017, has an orbit that suggests that it came from a different solar system. Because researchers did not see any gas existing the asteroid as it is […]

An MIT team of engineers are bioengineering a species of watercress plant that can glow in the dark and could soon replace electrical lighting. They were able to create the glowing plants by inserting nanoparticles in the plants’ leaves. While the light emitted by the plants is dim, it could soon be bright enough to […]

For the first time in four decades, power plants are no longer America’s top air polluter. The U.S. Energy Information Administration found that the largest source of greenhouse gas emissions is the transport sector, which includes not only cars but also aircraft and ships.
