Global sea levels could rise as much as 1.2 metres (4 feet) by 2300 even if we meet the 2015 Paris climate goals, scientists have warned. The long-term change will be driven by a thaw of ice from Greenland to Antarctica that is set to re-draw global coastlines. Sea level rise threatens cities from Shanghai …

It sounds like sci-fi, but it’s just science. Researchers have created the first human-sheep hybrids, which could lead the way for organs to be grown in animals that can be transplanted into people. In addition to boosting supply of much-needed healthy organs, the process could lead to a cure for diabetes by creating healthy pancreases. …

Scientists have found a way to coax photons, a.k.a particles of light, to “merge” or join with each other. Atoms frequently do so when they make a chemical compound or molecule. Consider: If you shine the beams of light from 2 flashlights across each other, they don’t do anything special. They don’t interact, in other …

Cells continue to function even after an individual dies. That’s according to a scientific study published in Nature Communications. Analysing post-mortem samples, an international team of scientists showed that some genes became more active after death. As well as providing an important dataset for other scientists, they also hope that this can be developed into …

Millions of people watched on Tuesday as SpaceX’s Falcon Heavy, the world’s most powerful rocket since Saturn V, launched out of the atmosphere, delivered a Tesla Roadster into space, and then, in three separate pieces, descended back to earth.
