​​When it comes to hazardous fluids, the less that researchers have to finely manipulate them, the better. It was with this in mind that scientists recently developed a new material that does something special when exposed to liquid – it rolls itself into a straw-like tube.​

Whales inhabiting the waters off of New York and New Jersey can now be heard in real-time thanks to an acoustic monitoring buoy created by a consortium of marine scientists. The device allows the group to track, study and protect several species of endangered baleen whales.

Adding something that gives it a bit more bling without tarnishing the original patina of a classic motor car makes for a special day. After adding new wheels to a 1965 Dodge Dart GT, we added RimBlades protectors and then tested everything out in a local parade.

​British defense and aerospace company BAE Systems is looking to revolutionize how we measure airspeed, replacing conventional, air-pressure-based systems with tech that bounces around ultraviolet lasers to get the job done.​
