Extraterrestrial radio signals investigated

A curious radio signal picked up by a Russian telescope is probably not a transmission from an extraterrestrial civilisation, but astronomers in California are taking a second look anyway, the SETI Institute said. A group of Russian astronomers last year detected what appeared to be a non-naturally occurring radio signal in the general location of a star system 94 light-years from Earth. SETI astronomers have spent the last two nights using an array of radio telescopes in California to study the suspect star, HD 164595, which has one known planet in orbit. Aug 31, 2016

Mummys face reconstructed through 3D printing

Watch the time lapse of the reconstruction of a 2000-year-old mummys face thanks to the help of 3D printing. Using CT scanning, scientists are able to look through the layers of a mummified skeleton and then use this data to create 3D models. This model took 140 hours to print. Aug 31, 2016
