The Gravity's amazing driving dynamics, EV tech and packaging made it an Editor's Choice. But its high price and bugs were a turn off.

Can the Three Gorges Dam in China slow the Earth's rotation? The Three Gorges Dam is a hydroelectric gravity dam that spans the Yangtze River, in Central China. It is the world’s largest hydroelectric ...

MIDLAND, Mich. – It’s the strangest sight -- watching someone cut grass at the bottom of what was once a lake. But that’s the reality for people who live in Edenville. After the dam failure five years ...

Researchers have discovered there was an anomaly in Earth's gravitational field between 2006 and 2008, potentially caused by a mineral shift deep within Earth's mantle. GRACE satellites detected a ...

For most of the year, the top of the Wachusett Dam in Clinton stands silent and inaccessible — a towering granite wall holding back 65 billion gallons of water in the Wachusett Reservoir, which ...
