Sir Arthur C. Clarke, arguably one of the most prominent early figures in the formation of the science-fiction genre, had a significant role to play in some of the most iconic concepts in history.

The galaxies will ultimately crash into each other.

I’ve got a friend who’s an incurable Pandora guy, and one Saturday while we were making dinner, he found a station called Yacht Rock. “A tongue-in-cheek name for the breezy sounds of late ’70s/early ’80s soft rock” is Pandora’s definition, accompanied by an exhortation to “put on your Dockers, pull up a deck chair and relax.” With a single exception, the passengers aboard the yacht were all dudes.

High up in the French Alps, the climbers who spend their days on the rocks and glaciers have come to a grim conclusion: the mountains are crumbling around them.

The former quarterback caused a problem for the league—which turned to the celebrated rapper for assistance.

A$AP Rocky has been convicted of assault in Sweden and given suspended a sentence. He was not present in the Stockholm courtroom when the verdict was handed down. Two members of the rapper’s entour…

A space revolution is upon us — so says the new wave of tech entrepreneurs pledging to colonize the cosmos. Several billionaires and their hard-charging rocket companies say the tiny roster of humans — 573, by the count of space expert Jonathan McDowell — who have flown to space is about to get much longer. They promise that more Average Joes can have experiences long relegated to highly trained astronauts.

In the aftermath of the back-to-back shooting massacres in Texas and Ohio, the debate over gun control has returned to the National Rifle Association and its immense power to stymie any significant legislation on the issue. The man largely responsible for the NRA’s uncompromising stance is its decades-long CEO, Wayne LaPierre, who has been engulfed in turmoil and legal issues as he orchestrates the group’s latest effort to push back against gun control measures.

In his trademark disingenuous response to the latest wave of massacres, Donald Trump has identified the internet as both the cause and, more insidiously, the solution to the spread of rightwing domestic terrorism. Ignoring his own hate-filled social media feeds and fervent embrace of gun denial-ism, the US president has set his sites on the “dark recesses” of the internet, where hatred foments through “gruesome and grisly” video games that celebrate violence.

The number of pay TV households in the U.S. is expected to dip 4.2% to 86.5 million this year.

Obsidian Entertainment is the latest developer to speak out against crunch and intense working conditions. In an interview with PCGamesN, The Outer Worlds' senior designer Brian Hines discussed the studio's stance on crunch, emphasising that Obsidian has been free from it for years.

What was once considered pure fantasy in movies like "Avatar," is now looking a little more plausible. Earlier this week, NASA announced the discovery of a possible Earth-like planet, located just 31 light years away - a hop, skip and a jump in cosmic terms - that may be able to support life. "I think it's an amazing discovery," Lisa Kaltenegger, from the Carl Sagan Institute at Cornell, said. "We have a small mission called 'Tess' that's scanning th...

Recently, near the sleepy south Texas beachside town of Boca Chica, a stubby vehicle that looks like a water tank with legs, shining with its stainless-steel hull, rose 20 meters, wreathed in fire and smoke, before it descended back to the ground. The brief flight test of the Starhopper took a few seconds, though it started a grass fire that took a long time to put out. If Elon Musk, the CEO of SpaceX, is right, the short hop is just the beginning of a journey that will take humankind back to th...

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare for PC has a bunch of welcome features like cross play, and FOV slider, and an uncapped frame rate. Just now, Call of Duty architects Infinity Ward and Activision dropped a ton of new Call of Duty: Modern Warfare details about its multiplayer, open beta, and more. With this also came a lot of information on its PC port, which is being worked on by both Infinity Ward and Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled developer Beenox

It's the first time PBS will stream live over the internet.

As atheists, we tend to make fun of Christians who believe in things like talking donkeys, talking snakes and fish that swallow people whole and then deliver them, unharmed, several days later. We laugh at stories of a sea magically parting in half on command, or an angel flying around killing the firstborn sons of everyone who didn’t put blood on their door.

Forward-looking: For those who aren’t fans of wearing glasses, contact lenses are a fantastic alternative option. But scientists have found a way to make them even more impressive: allowing users to zoom in on objects just by blinking twice. Scientists at the University of California, San Diego, created the amazing soft contact lens by measuring the electrooculographic signals that are generated when eyes make movements such as up and down...

About 350m trees have been planted in a single day in Ethiopia, according to a government minister. The planting is part of a national “green legacy” initiative to grow 4bn trees in the country this summer by encouraging every citizen to plant at least 40 seedlings. Public offices have reportedly been shut down in order for civil servants to take part.

Stardew Valley, the popular farm life sim, has been on PlayStation 4 for a while now, but it's been missing a game-changing component: multiplayer. The free update hit other platforms months ago, and thankfully, a PS4 version is very close indeed. The man behind the game, Eric Barone, recently reassured fans the update is still on the way after a long period of quiet.
