Scientists have demonstrated a novel approach to tackling arterial plaque that relies on laser, ultrasound and exploding microbubbles to destroy it with greater safety and efficiency, while hinting at unique long-term advantages.

Processing wood from trees isn’t the most efficient way to make furniture or building materials. MIT scientists have made breakthroughs in a process that could one day let us 3D print and grow wood directly in the shape of furniture and other things.

If you own the world's fastest car, you might as well open the throttle now and then. Dentist-cum-entrepreneur Dr. Larry Caplan has stuck a gumboot into his SSC Tuatara and recorded a top speed just shy of the fabled 300 mph mark – on a short track.

A 25-year search for another source of a promising anti-cancer chemical produced by a rare coral species has now started to bear fruit, with the discovery other readily available corals produce the chemical in abundance.

Boeing's Starliner passenger spacecraft has successfully returned to Earth. At 5:49 pm CDT, the uncrewed capsule landed at the US Army's White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico at the end of a six-day mission to the International Space Station.

Isuzu UK used this year's CV Show to introduce the D-Max Arctic Trucks AT35 Basecamp, a highly maneuverable light camper pickup ready to bushwhack through dense forest and burrow through canyons that would stop larger trucks in their tracks.

Mapping the inside of cramped, difficult-to-reach areas can be helpful to people such as plant operators, but drones flown in such places could easily crash. The LiDAR- and cage-equipped Elios 3 quadcopter was designed with that challenge in mind.

Because seeds may contain yield-reducing fungi, bacteria or viruses, they're often chemically treated before they're sold to farmers. A new mobile system, however, substitutes microbe-killing electrons for harsh and eco-unfriendly chemicals.

NAW Studio has completed a contemporary home with a unique facade that embraces passive air flow. Flow House is located just outside of Da Nang City, Vietnam and is made up of three structures that aid the flow of air from one section to the other.

Previously the exclusive domain of noisy combustion-engine bikes, more and more electric trials motorcycles are being launched. The latest is from French e-moto veteran Electric Motion with the limited-edition Epure Comp 2023.

Most of the outdoor gogglebox solutions we've seen over the years are either pricey or very pricey indeed. But now there's a relatively inexpensive option joining the patio party courtesy of Roku and Element Electronics.

Construction work is currently underway on a new artificial intelligence research laboratory designed by PLP Architecture. Located in Shanghai, China, the building's overall form is inspired by a computer motherboard and CPU.
