October 29, 2018
Scientists have come up with a faster way to charge electric vehicles wirelessly, tiny flying robots can haul up to 40 times their weight, and data might travel with unprecedented security with a little help from quantum physics. It’s giddyup or get out of the way in this week’s coolest scientific discoveries.

The 5 Coolest Things On Earth This Week

A week of bio-inspiration: Scientists are figuring out how to use spider venom to treat cancer, and looking to plants for cues on making self-healing, carbon-fixing building materials. But the human body can be bio-inspiring too — so we’ve got a robot that can do parkour, as well, in the latest cool advances in science and tech.

Theoretical Physicists Suggest There's A Portal Linking The Standard Model To Dark Physics

Fiona Macdonald Science Alert
March 26, 2017
Theoretical physicists have put forward a new hypothesis that aims to connect the world of visible physics to the hidden forces of our Universe: what if there's a portal that bridges the gap between the standard model to dark matter and dark energy?
The idea is that the reason we struggle to understand things such as dark matter and dark energy isn't because they don't exist - it's because we've been oblivious to a portal through which regular particles and these "dark particles" interact. And it's something that could be tested experimentally.

If only we were stuck in beta.

 

If the past 12 months have you feeling like you're stuck in the beta version of some giant, buggy simulation, we're right there with you, what with the World Series, the Super Bowl, the Oscars, and depending on which side of the fence you sit, the US and UK elections.

Extra! Extra! Invoking Maxwell’s demon, scientists at a U.S. government lab say the second law of thermodynamics may not always apply. Neutron stars, bones and pasta apparently have a few things in common, and a Massachusetts biologist is using a “beastcam” to preserve 3D models of all living organisms. We also have some dark  matter news. And you thought Halloween was over, mmmwahahaha!
