The problem with invisibility cloaks is that up until now, they always reflect a little bit of light, so the object being hidden is partially visible. Researchers at Duke University tweaked their fabrication technique to make up for this flaw and created a device that doesn’t give off that reflected image.

The condom protects us from infection and unwanted pregnancy, and it has reshaped the history of sex across the world. Studying its strange past can teach us a lot about our changing attitudes toward sexual intimacy throughout the ages.

The size of our universe is nearly incomprehensible. It’s so vast, the thought of anything greater is a little hard to swallow. But could there be a parallel universe out there? Could our universe be part of a grander whole, a multiverse?

Researchers have succeeded in taking a stunning image of a newly synthesised molecule called olympicene.
The molecule – just over a billionth of a metre across – gets its name because its five linked rings resemble the Olympic symbol.
It was first made by collaborators at the University of Warwick in the UK.
.
The technique showcases details well under a billionth of a metre in size

Brown tree snakes in Guam have wildlife officials there seeing red. That’s why the officials are air-dropping poisoned mice as a lethal treat for the mildly venomous serpents, an invasive species that has devastated native animal populations on the Pacific island, the BBC reported.

Though we’re sure they have their reasons for existing, we consider moths to be the ‘black sheep’ cousin of butterflies. They have those dull wings, they eat our sweaters and they do things like lay eggs in carpets. (We’ll let that one sink in for a moment.) Moths also have a distinct way of startling you by flying spastically out of cupboards, closets and near light sources. No wonder we’ve seen an uptick of people asking for ways to get rid of moths.

The Hubble Space Telescope launched on April 24, 1990, ushering in a new era in space exploration.
From its low-earth orbit, the telescope can take pictures without interference from the planet’s atmosphere, snapping photographs in visible light, ultraviolet and near-infrared wavelengths.

Engineers are battling to save the European Space Agency’s (Esa) flagship Earth observation mission – Envisat.
Controllers say the eight-tonne spacecraft appears to be in a stable condition, but they are not receiving any data at all from it.
Contact was lost with Envisat at the weekend shortly after it downloaded pictures of Spain’s Canary Islands.

The U.S. Air Force’s launch of the next secret mission by its unmanned X-37B space plane has been officially delayed to mid-November.
The upcoming X -37B space plane mystery mission, also known as Orbital Test Vehicle-3 (OTV-3), was slated to blast off atop an Atlas 5 rocket on Oct. 25 from Space Launch Complex 41 at Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. The liftoff is now scheduled for Nov. 13, according to ULA.

“Star Trek” may have predicted the iPad and the iPhone, but who would have thought scientists could actually build a working tractor beam?
New York University physicists David Ruffner and David Grier have proposed how a working tractor beam might be assembled, according to a written statement. (For those who aren’t fans of the science fiction franchise, a tractor beam is a device that uses energy to pull an object toward itself.)

Two physicists from NYU have proposed how
a working tractor beam might be assembled.

William Shatner as Mr. Spock and Captain Kirk
