A seismic wave generated by Japan’s devastating 2011 magnitude 9.0 Tohoku-Oki earthquake travelled nearly 2,900 kilometres to the boundary of Earth’s core, reflected back about 13 minutes later and shifted the entire country eastward by roughly six millimetres, according to a study published in the journal Science. The movement was far too small for anyone…

Scientists have developed a remarkable liquid robot that blurs the line between machines and living organisms. Created by researchers from Seoul National University and Gachon University, the robot is made from liquid metal coated with a dense armour of microscopic particles and embedded with magnetic particles that allow it to be controlled remotely. Unlike conventional…
