A new NASA study focusing on irregularities in Earth’s upper atmosphere may help scientists overcome disruptions in GPS communication. The findings provide an insight into the causes of the disruptive regions, and represent the first time that such observations have been made from space.

A team of scientists from China and Arizona have spotted the brightest quasar from the early universe, centered on a black hole 12.8 billion light years away and as bright as 420 trillion suns.

When serious cyclists want a little more vibration damping in their handlebars, they'll often shell out hundreds of bucks for a carbon fiber bar. French company Baramind, however, wants to extend the concept of shock-absorbing handlebars to everyday commuters, with the not-so-expensive Bam City.

Material scientists at Stanford University have developed a highly effective semitransparent air filter that can collect 99 percent of harmful pollution particles, thanks to a dense web of nanoscale polymer fibers. The low-cost filter doesn't require power to function.

We've become accustomed to cell phones as noisy, rectangular devices filled with applications. California-based startup Mohohm is looking to buck the trend with Runcible, a round device that doesn't use apps and doesn't beep to alert users.

A small US start-up is hoping to launch a new full frame digital rangefinder by 2016. The Konost FF is an M-mount rangefinder that does things a little differently by using a secondary image sensor to provide digital rangefinder focusing.

If autonomous delivery drones are ever going to see widespread use, then they can't simply fly around with no regard for other aircraft. That's why researchers from RMIT University have developed a system that lets drones communicate with air traffic controllers using a synthesized voice.

A new study by MIT has revealed that the quantities of nitrous oxide (N2O), otherwise known as laughing gas, being released by the world's oceans has been dramatically underestimated.
