Kawasaki has finally dropped the supercharged super-naked it's been threatening to unleash for several months now. The Z H2 melds the looks of recent Kwaka nakedbikes with the 197-horsepower lunacy of the blown H2 motor, and it's not for the timid.

Reaction Engines's Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine (SABRE) engine has passed a major milestone, as a key component handled conditions equivalent to an airspeed of Mach 5 (3,704 mph, 5,961 km/h).

In an unusual turn of events a new Alzheimer’s drug, previously declared a failure in March, has been resurrected with the pharmaceutical company behind the treatment suggesting the earlier decision was premature and based on incorrect data analysis.

Artificial leaves can convert sunlight, water and carbon dioxide into energy or even be used to produce fuels. Now, researchers from Cambridge have developed a new version that can produce synthetic gas (or syngas) without releasing carbon dioxide.

Blue Origin has entered into a partnership with Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, and Draper to design a lunar lander for NASA's Artemis program.

Although there already are "smart" powered curtains, the things can be complex to install, and need to be plugged into a power outlet. The SwitchBot Curtain, on the other hand, is a battery-powered device that simply gets added to existing curtains.

In the chemical-production industry, energy-intensive processes are constantly being used to remove unwanted molecules from liquids. It now looks like much of that energy could be saved, however, by utilizing filters made from plastic bottles.

NASA has completed a milestone test of the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) sunshield, which will protect the flagship observatory from the Sun’s radiation as it unravels the secrets of the cosmos.

Although we've seen a number of personal underwater propulsion devices in recent years, the Scubajet was one of the first. Its designers have now announced a Pro model, that reportedly dives deeper, runs longer, and features a dual-hand controller.
