A Chinese robotics company has unveiled a Transformers-style piloted "mecha robot" that it describes as the first of its kind to be built for mass production.
Based in Hangzhou, Unitree Robotics introduced the GD01 on Tuesday as a commercially available...
Scientists have produced the most detailed 3D images yet of the clitoris, mapping its complex nerve network in unprecedented detail and shedding new light on one of the least-studied organs in the human body.
The study used advanced X-ray imaging...
A humanoid robot joined the ranks of Buddhist monks in South Korea on Wednesday, becoming the first of its kind to take religious vows in the country.
The robot, named Gabi, was inducted into the Jogye Order of Korean Buddhism...
Researchers at the University of Cambridge have developed a process that converts plastic trash into clean hydrogen fuel using sunlight, tackling two major waste problems at once. The method works inside a single reactor, converting certain plastics into industrial...
Astronomers have identified 27 new possible planets that orbit two stars instead of one, a rare type known as circumbinary planets. These systems, often described as “twin-sun” planets, offer a clearer view of how planets form in complex star...
In a major boost to Greece’s national goal to tackle climate change, four Greek thermal satellites successfully launched into orbit aboard a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on Sunday. The deployment marks the official activation of the first phase of...
Astronomers have identified evidence of a long-lost dwarf galaxy that once merged with the Milky Way, offering new insight into how the galaxy formed.
The study, published in the Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Society, focuses on a group...
An AI tool developed by the Mayo Clinic can spot pancreatic cancer on routine CT scans up to three years before doctors diagnose the disease, according to a new study published in Gut by the British Society of Gastroenterology.

New York City (NYC) has witnessed its first electric air taxi demonstration flights between Manhattan and John F. Kennedy International Airport, marking a step toward faster urban travel.
The aircraft completed point-to-point test flights across the city as part of...
Cryopreservation allows scientists to freeze transplant organs at extremely low temperatures. For years, researchers have explored its use in transplant medicine. A major step came in 2023, when scientists at the University of Minnesota transplanted a cryopreserved kidney into...
Archaeologists at Pompeii have used artificial intelligence (AI) to reconstruct the final moments of a man who died trying to escape the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in 79 A.D. The reconstruction, developed in collaboration with the University of Padua,...
A 2,200-year-old Roman shipwreck in Croatia has revealed new details about how ancient sailors protected, repaired, and maintained ships that crossed the Adriatic Sea, with new evidence pointing to Greek influence in shipbuilding techniques.
The study, led by Armelle Charrie-Duhaut...
A humanoid robot completed a half-marathon in Beijing on Sunday faster than any human ever has, marking a milestone for China's robotics industry.
The robot, named Lightning and made by Chinese smartphone company Honor, finished the 21-kilometer (13.1-mile) course in...
El Greco, the Greek-born painter who became one of Spain’s most celebrated Renaissance artists, is at the center of a new AI study that challenges long-held ideas about how some of his major paintings were created.
