IBM researchers in Zurich, Switzerland have created triangulene, a molecule that has eluded chemists for a period of nearly seventy years. This could allow us to encode and process information in electronics, pushing us closer to the age of quantum computing.

A new report from the National Academy of Sciences shows how the scientific community is beginning to soften their stance on gene editing. The biggest concern that experts still have over gene editing is anchored on the very real possibility that it will be used to create designer babies.

A two-decade long radical velocity-planet hunting program has compiled almost 61,000 individual measurements made of more than 1,600 stars. That's a considerable amount of data to comb through – so the research team made the data set available to the public.

China has spent $168 million on cloud seeding technology to hopefully manipulate the weather and combat drought and extreme weather due to climate change. Cloud seeding technology has existed for a long time, however because of early false claims and deep-rooted skepticism, there isn't sufficient research to back up the tech.
