NASA has greenlit a mission to investigate a massive hole on the Moon that could lead to underground caves perfect for future astronaut bases. The discovery might solve one of humanity's biggest challenges for living on the lunar surface.
When British teens in 1986 imagined life in 2020, they predicted telepathic communication, space tunnels, and computer-run governments. Decades later, their hopes and fears reveal how much has changed and how much hasn't.
A researcher has mapped out an ambitious strategy to keep Earth habitable long after our Sun dies in five billion years. The plan involves giant sunshades, antimatter, and moving the entire planet without ever leaving home.
While Earth has about a billion years left before the Sun destroys it, one researcher has mapped out an audacious plan to extend our planet's livable future by trillions of years. The megaengineering proposal tackles everything from blocking deadly solar radiation to creating an artificial sun.
Air India is partnering with SkyDrive and Suzuki to explore electric flying aircraft that could deliver critical medical supplies across India's gridlocked cities. The innovative eVTOL technology could turn a two-hour ambulance crawl into a quick flight over traffic.
Scientists have discovered frozen water hidden in the Moon's permanently shadowed craters, and it could be the key to building our first permanent lunar home. This ice treasure could provide everything future moon settlers need: drinking water, rocket fuel, and building materials.
A Chinese robot just beat the human half-marathon record by over an hour, while another robot nearly matched Usain Bolt's speed. These racing machines are pushing boundaries we never thought possible for two-legged robots.
A battery-powered aircraft just completed test flights between Manhattan and JFK Airport, turning a two-hour drive into a 10-minute journey. The quiet, emissions-free air taxis could transform how millions of people travel to airports within the next few years.
Researchers have mapped out a realistic plan to mine asteroids and deliver metals directly to Mars, turning science fiction into an achievable engineering challenge. The breakthrough shows we could build a self-sustaining colony without shipping everything from Earth.
Australian researchers are solving the puzzle of how humans might have babies in space, discovering surprising challenges that need solutions before we can settle other worlds. Their groundbreaking experiments reveal both obstacles and paths forward for space-faring families.
After years of red tape, American electric air taxis are finally taking off. A new FAA program will launch commercial passenger flights from Manhattan to Texas starting this summer.
Dubai's Museum of the Future is approaching five million visitors just four years after opening, cementing its status as a global hub for innovation and dialogue. The museum has hosted 620 events and welcomed leaders from around the world while launching initiatives to empower Arab minds and shape humanity's future.
