Australia’s access to the global internet depends on a surprisingly small number of undersea cables.
NASA’s CADRE mission will test a small team of autonomous rovers that can function without constant communication with Earth.
Many buildings in Colombia have thin concrete walls, which makes them extremely vulnerable to collapse.
The construction of the pool reflected a national ambition to build something unifying and enduring. The rushed renovation and political fallout of 2026 reveal how much that civic vision has changed.
Early childhood is an important stage where children develop curiosity, values and problem-solving skills.
What began as a symbol of status has become a complex technological challenge.
Sensors cannot replace bridge inspectors. They can help engineers see corrosion, cracks, scour and weak magnetic signals that eyes alone can miss.
A full-scale earthquake test suggests a new generation of low-carbon timber-based buildings could remain usable after major shaking.
To travel between solar systems, a spacecraft would need extremely sophisticated – if not impossible – technology.
Key features of the famous monument defend it from earthquakes – but we can’t know if that’s what the builders had in mind.
America was once the global leader in rare earth element production, but as processing moved to China, the US lost capacity and expertise. It can get them back.
Scientific methods validated from modern life have brought dinosaurs to life in a testable way.
Research suggests a shift to electric mobility is technically and economically feasible.
Fiber optics allow you to search the internet, text your friends and check your social media feeds. They also have geological, security and manufacturing applications.
AI models are designing new metal alloys that have been 3D-printed and tested in the lab. The results are then fed back into the AI to accelerate alloy discovery.
Tiny particles bounce light around in a unique way, a property that researchers are using to detect pollutants in water and soil samples.
A research team has paved plastic-infused roads in Texas and Bangladesh, with promising results.
Climate change isn’t rewriting the laws of structural engineering, but it is rapidly eating away at our margins of safety.
The first in a new series dedicated to little-known but highly influential scientists.
