A team of researchers is seeking to challenge the theory that the anode, cathode and electrolyte of a battery can only work independently, experimenting with a dual functioning electrolyte that supplements the cathode, resulting in a significant improvement of the battery's capacity and lifespan.

In an Egyptian tomb, a painting depicts someone pouring water into the sand in front of one of the sledges that hauled the blocks used in the pyramids. According to new research, by wetting the sand, as little as half as much pulling force would have been required to move those sledges.

SanDisk is looking to usurp platter-based HDDs in enterprise applications with its new Optimus MAX SSD, the world's first 2.5-inch Serial Attached SCSI (SAS) SSD packing 4 TB of storage capacity.

Californian architecture and design studio MAT-TER has produced a concept for a flood-resistant school for the Philippines that's raised on piloti and constructed largely from bamboo.

Night Shift is a new device designed to help people with sleep apnea and snoring issues. These problems are aggravated by sleeping on the back, so the device, which is worn at the back of the neck, vibrates and prompts wearers to move position.

At disaster sites such as building collapses, it's not uncommon to see trained dogs being used to sniff out trapped survivors. Now, thanks to a new "smart" harness, such dogs may be able to play an even bigger role, by gathering and relaying vital information on their surroundings.
