Micro-motor powered nanobots created by UC, San Diego researchers, and propelled by gas bubbles made from a reaction with the contents of the stomach in which they were deposited, have been successfully deployed in the body of a live creature for the very first time.

For a plane that's now being flown by the original crews' grandchildren, the B-52 is still going strong. For its latest upgrade, Boeing has installed a new weapons bay launcher that will allow the venerable bomber to carry smart weapons inside and reduce fuel consumption.

Porsche is bringing a limited edition 911 to the North American market as a way to say thank you for 60 years of devotion. The GTS Club Coupe is powered by an improved version of the Carrera S plant that cranks out 430 hp and features a raft of special design features.

Sweden's Teenage Engineering, best known for its versatile but pricey OP-1 synthesizer (which starts at US$849.00), has unveiled a line of three new synths dubbed Pocket Operator. The pocketable instruments will set you back just $59 when they launch.

Researchers have developed a silver nanowire sensor that has the potential to improve long-term patient health monitoring. The new sensor is as accurate as those used in hospitals, and thanks to its dry nature and flexibility, is well suited to monitoring when the patient is moving around.

With virtual reality capturing imaginations during the last couple of years, it's easy to forget about augmented reality. But Microsoft has spent years cooking up its own take on AR, and it's ready to bake the technology into Windows 10.

Thanks to a collaboration between NASA and Microsoft aimed at advancing human-robot interactions, the space agency's OnSight software will allow researchers to explore a virtual Martian landscape created from data sent back by the Curiosity rover.

Virtual reality may not be quite ready for mass consumption, but it is looming on the horizon. And after jamming our eyeballs into the equally mesmerizing Oculus Rift DK2 and Samsung Gear VR, we have a few thoughts on how this next big thing could play out.

One of the symptoms of advanced Parkinson’s disease is an impaired sense of balance. Although this typically isn't very responsive to medication, Swedish scientists are developing an alternative treatment – a wearable device that stimulates the patient's vestibular system.

By using slow-release microcapsules, researchers at Queen Mary University of London (QMUL) could make it possible for a protein molecule known to reduce inflammation and aid in the repair of damaged tissue to be used to treat osteoarthritis.

The P1 GTR is being billed as an homage to the F1 GTR Le Mans winner, and we thought that'd be the extent of McLaren's anniversary celebration. This week, though, it revealed the 650S Le Mans, a special edition designed to give another hat tip to the past.
