What comes to mind when you think of an airship? For many, it's the Goodyear blimp or the Zeppelins of the 20th century. There are many different kinds of airship, each with a range of uses — but what aircraft actually count as airships?

One of the challenges these technologies present is balancing convenience and security — how do you ensure that these handy functionalities are only accessible by the intended users?

Dark energy and dark matter are so named because they are total mysteries to us. We don't know what dark energy or matter is, just that it's there. When it comes to the makeup of the universe, what we don't know hugely outweighs that which we do know . It is thought that dark matter makes up 27% of the universe, dark energy 68%, and known matter, which makes up all stars and planets, constitutes only 5% of our universe. But how can we hypothesise how much of the universe is

When you think of a black hole, what comes to mind? If it's an image of a colossal void floating through space, sucking in planets and stars and evaporating them to dust, you aren't alone. But black holes are actually thought to be full of matter. In simple terms, a black hole is an area with such strong gravity that nothing, including light, has the energy to escape. The nature of a black hole makes them hard to observe and, as a result, study. This means that while we do kn
