Four-wheeled robotic rovers may be a good choice for the exploration of other planets, but they could conceivably get stuck at the bottom of deep craters. NASA’s DuAxel rover is designed with that in mind, as it splits in two for steep descents.Continu… Continue reading Wheeled NASA rover splits in two to explore craters
While thin sheets of lab-grown biological tissue do show promise for applications such as the treatment of wounds, picking those delicate sheets up can be very difficult. That’s where a new octopus-inspired gripper is designed to come in.Continue Readi… Continue reading Tissue-transferring gripper inspired by octopus suckers
An experimental drug treating amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) is demonstrating promising potential, both slowing the progression of this neurodegenerative disease and prolonging patient survival. Phase 2 human trials are complete and Amylyx Pharmaceuticals, the company developing the treatment, says it is working with regulatory bodies on the steps necessary to bring the drug to market ahead of a Phase 3 trial.

For over a century, steel rebar has been the go-to material to reinforce concrete but a new approach promises to make the common building material stronger and more environmentally friendly. Scientists have leveraged 3D printing to produce a polymer la… Continue reading Low-carbon concrete stays strong with polymer lattice reinforcements
Researchers from Tufts University have genetically engineered bovine cells to produce lab-grown beef containing beta-carotene, a plant nutrient that is converted into vitamin A in the human body. The researchers suggest lab-grown meats in the future co… Continue reading Lab-grown meat can be genetically enhanced with plant nutrients
The companies building the UK’s Tempest sixth-generation fighter aircraft have revealed some of the technological concepts that it will incorporate, including a radar system designed to handle as much data per second as a city.Continue ReadingCategory:… Continue reading Tempest sixth-generation fighter to get blistering new radar technology
Some people refuse to wear bike helmets because they find the things to be big, heavy and gawky-looking. That’s where the Danish-made Newton-Rider helmet comes in, as it’s sleek, thin, and made of semi-soft materials.Continue ReadingCategory: Bicycles,… Continue reading Thin, squishy bike helmet hardens on impact
It’s a tough time to launch a new hotel at the moment and you could be forgiven for wondering if the Atari Hotels line announced earlier this year would be quietly dropped, but that doesn’t seem to be the case at all. Instead, it continues to build mom… Continue reading Atari Hotels line gets 1UP with new Las Vegas building
Between Zoes, Twizys, Kangoos, Masters and Twingos, some 20 percent of Renault’s vehicle sales since 2010 have already been fully electric, and the brand is planning to step things up into the performance sector with a brand new electric Megane hatch.C… Continue reading Renault shows off the future of Mégane with electric eVision concept
Glioblastoma is a deadly brain cancer with a very poor survival rate, but by understanding how certain cell types drive its spread doctors may be able to offer more effective treatments. Researchers have developed a new tool that shines a light on thes… Continue reading Ant farm-like testing platform reveals brain cancer’s deadliest cells
