BEIJING, China (Reuters) — World-renowned physicist Stephen Hawking and other scientists offered a surreal glimpse into the future as they shared their latest research findings at the 2017 Tencent WE Summit in Beijing on Sunday. Hawking made a video appearance at the annual exploration and innovation summit, saying that the human race has to “boldly go where no one has gone before” if it wants to continue on for another million years. According to him, […]
WASHINGTON, United States (Reuters) — Scientists in the United States and Europe have for the first time detected gravitational waves, the ripples in space and time predicted by Albert Einstein, at the same time as light from the same cosmic event, according to research published on Monday (October 16). “This is the first time the cosmos has provided for us what I would call a ‘talking move’. We’ve moved from the era of ‘silent movies’ […]
QUEZON City, Philippines (Eagle News) — As the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) celebrates its 50th anniversary, the regional bloc honored rice farmers and scientists for their contributions especially to the region’s food security.

CALIFORNIA, United States (Reuters) — Scientists in California have created rewritable paper, printed using light instead of ink, that can be erased and reused up to 80 times. In the United States alone, about 70 million tons (63.5 million metric tons) of paper and paperboard are used each year, with more than 350 million magazines and 24 billion newspapers published, according to the US Environmental Protection Agency. The chemists at the University of California, Riverside, […]
HAWAII, United States (Reuters) – Six scientists have crossed the halfway point of an eight-month stint in a dome perched atop a remote volcano in Hawaii. This is where they are living in isolation to simulate life for astronauts traveling to Mars, the University of Hawaii said. The study is designed to help the National Aeronautics and Space Administration better understand human behavior and performance during long space missions as the United States space agency […]
CHINA (Reuters) – The newest outcome of the third expedition to the South China Sea may rewrite the textbooks of plate tectonics, according to a press conference co-hosted by Chinese Office of the International Ocean Discovery Program (IODP) and Tongji University in Shanghai on Monday.

Reuters –National Aeronautics and Space Administration scientists gathered on Tuesday (April 4) to help usher in the final chapter of the spacecraft Cassini before it begins its “grand finale” on April 26 when it will descend to Saturn. The spacecraft, in orbit around Saturn since 2004, will make a series of dives through the 1,500-mile-wide (2,400-kilometer) gap between Saturn and its rings before crashing into the the solar system’s second largest planet. It will be the […]
BUENOS AIRES, Argentina (Reuters) – Researchers in Argentina say they have genetically modified an adenovirus – which can cause colds, conjunctivitis and bronchitis – to home in on cancer, killing tumor cells in patients without harming healthy tissue. Scientists have long been intrigued by the idea of using viruses to alert the immune system to seek and destroy cancerous cells. That interest has taken off in recent years as advances in genetic engineering allow them […]
