Several years ago, we heard how scientists from Sweden's Chalmers University had created a 3D-printing medium made from wood fiber. Now, they've developed a new method of printing with it, producing solid material with the structure and qualities of natural wood.

Using magnetism to heat up nanoparticles inside a tumor to destroy nearby cancer cells certainly falls among the more experimental forms of cancer treatment, but scientists are now reporting an exciting advance in this area with some promising early results on mice.

It's winter in Antarctica, but a temporarily unoccupied British research station is still operating using a new autonomous system. Using new technology developed by BAS engineers, the station is still partially powered by a micro-turbine as robotic sensors continue to collect scientific data.

There's a fine line between genius and insanity, and the Queensize Camper hopscotches over it, expanding into a four-sleeper VW van with bathroom, kitchen and dining area. If you can get over the bulky, awkward look, it's definitely more spacious and fascinating than the average VW camper.

​A new study, analyzing real-life incidents caught on CCTV, challenges the long-held proposition that bystanders are generally passive, and will not help others in situations of public assault. It found bystanders do intervene in the vast majority of violent incidents that unfold in public spaces.​

A landmark study has described a new method to detect signs of consciousness in unresponsive brain-injured patients using a simple EEG scan​. The research also suggests the EEG data can predict which patients have a high chance of regaining consciousness and recovering.

​We've been following the exploits of Harvard's tiny Robobee for a few years now. Until recently, it's been powered via a wire tether, but researchers have cut the cord by installing teeny solar panels on the little robotic insect.​

You don't have to give up your fiendish muscle-car driving ways just because you've decided to grow up and have a family. That's Dodge's message to petrolheads on the launch of the most badass 707-hp, four-door family muscle car we've ever seen.

​Open source hardware and software company Arduino has teamed up with Google to develop and launch the Arduino Science Kit Physics Lab. Designed for students aged 11 to 14, the kit helps kids experiment with forces, motion, magnetism and conductivity.​

A field study of the deadly 2014 landslide in Washington State is providing new insights into how such large-scale slides operate. A team from the US Geological Survey did detailed measurements and sampling of the post-disaster site, allowing them to build a detailed timescale of the event.

A compelling study has revealed how a mammalian brain can produce an incredibly powerful hallucinogen called DMT. The research shows the psychedelic is endogenously produced in a number of brain regions, including the visual cortex, and spikes in concentrations following an induced cardiac arrest.

In an effort to make conventional aircraft and unmanned aerial vehicles get along, NASA is embarking on the latest in a series of flight tests using specially adapted drones and manned "intruder" aircraft, to evaluate new technologies and help develop new regulations.
