How might the space industry reduce its ecological footprint and better manage the debris it leaves in its wake?
Scientists use biologging devices to track animal behaviour – here are four times where it has improved our understanding of nature.
The majority of nations voted to scrap leap seconds – the little jumps added to UTC time to keep it aligned with Earth’s rotation. What can we expect moving forward?
Player wages and transfer fees make the headlines, but the wealth generated by the Premier League has also been spent behind the scenes.

Many eligible Australians are not partaking in care to protect their health. Why?
One of the oldest industries, fishing, is entering the world of advanced analytics and data-driven planning. With oceans under stress and key fish stocks dwindling, can precision fishing help?
Every few centuries the sun blasts the Earth with a huge amount of high-energy particles. If it were to happen today, it would wreak havoc on technology.
Space weather can affect satellites in a number of different ways, from frying electronics to increasing drag in the atmosphere.
Nigeria-South Africa bi-national commission is a laudable initiative but missing the space cooperation element.
It was the first time a bird has removed a tracking device, and the second time a bird species showed cooperative ‘rescue’ behaviour.
Satellites impact our lives in many different ways, and some of these may surprise you.
Facial recognition, social media and location tracking give law enforcement a leg up in a monumental investigation.
