Morbid curiosity — a psychological trait that may help people explore dangerous parts of life — might explain why certain people gravitate toward music like death metal and rap. A recent experiment found that high levels of morbid curiosity can predict enjoyment and consumption of violently-themed music. The findings were published in the journal Personality and Individual Differences.

A Tesla owner has revealed that when he was locked out of his high tech car, he was told he'd have to fork out $26,000 for a new battery. Mario Zelaya, from Canada, took to TikTok to explain the situation, slamming his $140,000 Tesla vehicle as a 'piece of trash' after the car automatically locked itself when the battery died.

New York City's medical examiner confirmed Tuesday that the deaths of three children found on the shoreline near Brooklyn's famed Coney Island boardwalk were homicides by drowning. Their mother was in police custody. No charges had been filed as of late Tuesday. Zachary Merdy, 7, Lilana Merdy, 4, and Oliver Bondarev, 3 months, were found early Monday after a nearly three-hour search that began when a relative called police, worried that the woman intended to harm her children.

One minute and four seconds after the launch of an uncrewed flight of Blue Origin's New Shepard launch system on Monday, September 12, the rocket suffered an anomaly. Explosive footage shows the New Shepard capsule's solid rocket escape system fire up to safely eject the capsule away from the rocket's first stage.

A little while back, my colleague Mitchell Clark and I challenged each other to use our old iPhones for the weekend — mine was an original iPhone SE, and they had an iPhone 5S. I bailed a few hours in after my wireless connection flaked out, and I watched the phone battery drop 10 percent in a matter of minutes. (Mitchell saw the challenge through.)

A first planet, LP 890-9b (or TOI-4306b), the innermost in the system, was initially identified by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS), a space mission dedicated to the search for exoplanets orbiting nearby stars. This planet, which is about 30% larger than the Earth, completes an orbit around the star in just 2.7 days. The ULiège researchers used their ground-based SPECULOOS (Search for habitable Planets EClipsing ULtra-cOOl Stars) telescopes to confirm and characterise th...

A 4 year-old-boy is recovering after a metal straw pierced an artery in his neck. The freak accident occurred when preschooler Charlie DeFraia fell from a porch ledge while sipping a yogurt drink through a metal straw at his family's home in East Moriches, New York, in June, according to Today.

NASA has once again waved off an attempt to launch its massive new moon rocket on an uncrewed test mission because of technical issues. The scrub was called at 11:17 a.m. ET, three hours before the beginning of the launch window.

45 years after its launch, the Voyager 1 probe is still partially functional. But transmission problems noted last May prompted NASA to develop what will probably be its ultimate software update.

A distant galaxy stopped birthing stars when a merger with another galaxy ripped out its star-forming gas and stars, a violent process that left it with a massive 'tail' of star-stuff. SDSS J1448+1010 was formed when the universe was roughly half its current age of 13.8 billion years old from the collision of two progenitor galaxies. This resulted in a cosmic tug of war arising from each galaxy's gravitational influence.

People on the frontlines of Europe's gas crisis are scrambling to get solar panels for their homes and businesses as they confront a "perfect storm" that's sending energy prices to record levels.

Gamers who've yet to get the PS5 may have to pay more for the console when they do buy it. Sony Interactive Entertainment has raised the console's prices in select markets due to "challenging economic conditions," president and CEO Jim Ryan has announced on the PlayStation blog. The company had to make the difficult decision, he said, due to high global inflation rates, as well as currency fluctuations. PlayStation fans in the US can breathe easy — there will be no price hi...

German officials launched what they say is the world's first fleet of hydrogen-powered passenger trains Wednesday, replacing 15 diesel trains that previously operated on nonelectrified tracks in the state of Lower Saxony.

The menopause is a puzzle for biologists. Why would the female of a species cease to reproduce half way through her life, when natural selection favours characteristics that help an individual's genes survive? A study of killer whales - one of only two mammals apart from humans to undergo the menopause - is providing clues.
