"CUORE" experiment seeks to explain why the universe is made mostly of matter

Deep below the mountain of Gran Sasso in central Italy, under nearly a mile of solid rock, the CUORE (Cryogenic Underground Observatory for Rare Events, and Italian for "heart") experiment is underway to help us understand one of astrophysics's great unanswered questions: why is the universe that surrounds us full of matter, when predictions suggest it should be equally split between matter and antimatter?

Jaguar puts the 550-hp soul of a sports car inside the F-Pace SUV

The F-Pace is Jaguar's best-selling vehicle and arguably the sexiest, sportiest SUV on the road. In other words, it's begging for a range-topping SVR performance model. Jaguar realizes this as well as anyone and it's added the all-new 550-hp F-Pace SVR at the 2018 New York Auto Show. The high-performance F-Pace gives well-to-do NY tri-state area residents a look at what they'll need to park in their driveways if they want to keep one step ahead of the Joneses.

aquabionic fin system features detachable blades

Skiers already utilize binding systems that let them simply click their boots in and out of their skis. Well, the folks at Canadian company Cetatek thought that the same sort of technology should be applied to the blades of scuba fins. The result is the rather intriguing aquabionic aquatic binding system (abs).

Move over, fog nets – fog harp is better at drawing water from the air

For a number of years now, people living in arid regions have acquired drinking water by using nets to capture the microscopic airborne water droplets that make up fog. Now, researchers from Virginia Tech have improved on the concept, creating a "fog harp" that increases the collection capacity by threefold.

Electric French Kart swaps track for dirt

What could be more fun than roaring around tarmac driving a go-kart? Going off-road of course. And that's what's being offered by Marcel Beltran and his French Kart – an all-electric, all-terrain thrill machine that's been in development since 2012. After a dozen or so prototypes, the quiet off-roader has hit Kickstarter to raise production funds.

Parking lots: Why autonomous cars could save acres of space

Autonomous cars could prove to be splendid news for parking, according to new research from the University of Toronto. Because self-driving cars can park themselves, you can get out beforehand. Since you don't need to open the door once parked you can cram many more cars in. But according to the researchers, if autonomous cars work together, even more space can be saved – though perhaps not surprisingly there's a trade-off to think about too…

Harvard scientists uncover an exploitable Achilles' heel common to most bacteria

Bacteria can be hardy little creatures, thanks mostly to their strong cell walls that can protect them against drugs, viruses and other dangers. Finding ways to disarm these defenses is a key component of antibiotics, and now researchers at Harvard Medical School have identified a structural weakness that seems to be built into a range of bacterial species, potentially paving the way for a new class of widely-effective antibacterial drugs.

Remotely monitoring suspect nuclear reactors using antineutrinos

A consortium of American and British science institutions, led by the Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), is working on a way to use antineutrinos to remotely monitor nuclear reactors. Sponsored by the US Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration, the Advanced Instrumentation Testbed (AIT) program is installing the 3,500-ton WATer CHerenkov Monitor of ANtineutrinos (WATCHMAN) detector in a 1,100-meter-deep (3,600 ft) mine located on the northeast coast of England as part of international nuclear weapon non-proliferation efforts.

Astronomers find galaxy with no dark matter – and why that really matters

Dark matter is invisible and undetectable – which begs the question, how do we know it's there at all? Astronomers first suspected there was more matter than meets the eye in the 1930s, when it was observed that galaxies were moving faster than their visible mass should allow. But now there's a new wrinkle to the story, as scientists at Yale University have for the first time discovered a galaxy that appears to have no dark matter at all. Ironically, the find may just turn out to be the exception that proves the rule.
