A sunspot has grown large enough to be visible from earth without magnification—but only with proper eye protection. Sunspot AR3310, a black area on the sun facing us, has grown large enough that it can be seen without a telescope, and is almost four times the size of earth.

Sunspot four times bigger than earth is visible right now. Here's how you can see it.

The plastics industry has championed recycling as a critical solution to the rising problem of plastic waste. However, new research has found that recycling itself may be producing massive amounts of microplastics.

The human skin contains mechanoreceptors that can sense something as delicate as the weight of a butterfly, or heat or cold from a nearby object. It can also detect the delicate rhythm of a loved one's heartbeat and whether the hand raised at us is raised in a fist of aggression or a peace sign.

Stanford researchers develop 'e-skin' that can help amputees experience touch

Rising temperatures, heat waves, droughts and forest fires have all become a reality. With climate change steadily affecting the Earth's temperatures, the need to stay cool has become more pressing.
