The National Astronomical Observatories of China have partnered with Breakthrough Initiative to find alien life, bringing the largest radio telescope in the world with them — the 488 meter (1,600 foot) FAST telescope. The FAST observatory will seek out extraterrestrial life with the world's other largest radio telescopes, including the Green Bank Telescope in the U.S. and the Parkes Observatory in Australia.

Claiming to reach speeds of up to 1,200km/h (800 mph), Elon Musk’s hyperloop is a rapid train-like concept as controversial as any out there. It’s practically unproven engineering and legal obstacles leave

MIT researchers using the Alcator C-Mod reactor have achieved a new nuclear fusion pressure record of more than 2 atmospheres of pressure. The Alcator C-Mod is set to retire after over 23 years of use but its nuclear fusion experiments have brought us closer to nearly unlimited clean energy.

MIT researchers have used a new supercapacitor material with a massive surface area that outperforms previous carbon-based models. The supercapacitor could create longer lasting rechargeable battery tech and replenish electric vehicle batteries quicker while lasting longer than today's carbon-based designs.
