Algae have developed a remarkable system for utilising limited sunlight, a technique used by scientists in quantum computing.

A study into crystallisation has shown that nature compensates for its own inaccuracies, a process which scientists are attempting to imitate.

Stephen Hawking's theory of a reversed universe ignores the law of thermodynamic entropy, says physicist.

Scientists are adapting T-rays, previously used in astronomy, for detecting various cancers without the risk of ionising radiation.

A recent study found the universe is 30 times more run down than previously thought – super-massive black holes are responsible. 

Researchers have used a quantum computer to measure the precise energy of molecular hydrogen – two impressive feats in one.
