Would you die on Earth to live in Mars? More than 200,000 people applied for one-way expedition to live permanently in the red planet and leave the Earth for good. In a new interview filmed about five of prospective Martians, they share their reasons on their desire to start a new life, being a part of history, and the burden of leaving their loved ones for the sake of their dreams.

With over ten million people following "I F--king Love Science" (IFLS) on Facebook, the page got the thumbs up to become an up-and-coming television show to be executive produced by the "Late Late Show" host Craig Ferguson on Science Channel.

A device that would make women achieve orgasm with the mere push of a button would soon become available in the market. The gadget uses electrodes that are attached to a woman's spine to trigger an orgasm using remote control.

Scientists at the Dickson's lab have developed a system called fly mind-altering device, allowing them to control the mating behavior of houseflies and letting a fly "fall in love" with a ball of wax.

It would have been unbelievable to hear an earth-based telescope, using exactly the "same type of imaging sensor found in digital cameras," capturing images of planets outside the solar system. How is that possible? Based on a new study conducted by the University of Arizona (UA) researchers, it is indeed, possible and believable.

NASA’s (National Aeronautics and Space Administration) Hubble Space Telescope has captured the disintegration of the P/2013 R3 Asteroid. The Guardian report claims that the images captured between October 2013 and mid-January 2014 reveal the asteroid breaking up into smaller fragments with astronomers claiming the four largest remains are up to 200 yards in radius.

The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) currently plans to launch a probe that will orbit planet Jupiter’s icy moon Europa by 2025 after the released 2015 White House federal budget allocated $15 million for developing the mission. NASA researchers, who have been working on the Europa Clipper plan for years, will be able to observe the moon’s ice shell and subsurface ocean with the use of different science instruments when the probe makes several flybys on Europa.

Sky gazers are currently given a celestial treat with planet Jupiter brightly visible in the night sky even outshining the stars. The planet is currently located in the Gemini constellation, close to the twin bright stars Castor and Pollux, making it easy for the viewers to study its movement against the sparkling background.

Could babies of Fukushima now stand a chance of longer, healthier lives after scientists have developed and built a radiation scanner meant for their exclusive use?

Climate change has been blamed to play a crucial role in the summer's heat wave. The Australian report released on March 4 suggested the country will experience a longer bushfire season caused by the continual rising of greenhouse gases. This means a hotter weather with increased risks of extreme fire in bushlands.

Nepal is again bracing for an influx of visitors wanting to trek up the challenging Mount Everest this spring, with an equal amount of potential thrash going to be left behind by the so-called nature lovers and protectors. To counter this, Nepal authorities on Monday announced adventurous climbers will now be required to bring eight kilograms (18 pounds) of thrash when they come down.
