The European Space Agency (ESA) has given the green light for its unmanned Philae probe to attempt the historic first landing on a comet, reporting that both the Rosetta mothership and the Philae lander are in excellent shape for the planned separation and landing on comet 67P/Churyumov-Gerasimenko.

Italian start-up Youbionic has created a functional, myoelectric bionic hand using 3D printing and Arduino components. While still at prototype stage, the company says that its research will result in a prosthetic hand that costs a tenth or less than other models on the market.

IK Multimedia has announced that its iRig HD guitar interface is breaking into Android territory. Following hot on the heels of Samsung's Pro-Audio SDK 2.0 platform release, IK has now revealed the Android-friendly iRig HD-A and a special version of its AmpliTube virtual rig app.

Australian James Galletly, also known as "The Upcyclist," is on a mission. He wants to expose Sydney residents to the benefits of the small living movement and has built a pint-sized off-grid retreat to bring this about.

On face value, the Bienville Legacy is a weird, vastly overpowered and visually shocking motorbike with a completely unique suspension system. But to the team that created it and the eccentric entrepreneur that bankrolled it, it's not just a motorcycle – it's the start of a movement.

Scottish start-up Celtic Renewables, based in Edinburgh, has achieved proof of concept in producing biofuel and other useful products from the waste by-products of the country’s £4.3 billion (US$6.8 billion) whisky industry.

If nanotechnology scientists led by the Queensland University of Technology (QUT) are on the right track, cars may one day be powered not by batteries, but their body panels – inside which are sandwiched a new breed of supercapacitors.

Porsche’s Cayenne GTS SUV has been given a midlife upgrade, with sharper styling and a new turbocharged V6 engine, which replaces the old GTS naturally aspirated V8.

Like many American products, most US-brand bicycle frames are made overseas, in countries where manufacturing costs are lower. Circa Cycles, however, wants to build its bikes stateside, yet still sell them at reasonable prices. It plans on doing so using a unique frame-construction process.

Believe it or not, the Toyota Camry was one of the most interesting debuts at the 2014 SEMA Show. Not just any Camry, this particular model features a supercharged Tundra V8 tuned to 850 hp.

As electronic devices continue to get smaller, one question becomes increasingly pertinent – how will we power them? With that in mind, researchers have created a tiny battery that incorporates even smaller structures, known as nanopores.

An ambitious project at Pearl Harbor in Hawaii is rendering 3D models of sunken ships from World War II for use in keeping track of changes over time to their structures as part of an effort to bring greater insights to this tragic historical event.
