ANU researchers have conducted an experiment that helps bolster the ever-growing evidence surrounding the weird causal properties inherent in quantum theory. In short, they have shown that reality does not actually exist until it is measured – at atomic scales, at least.

Berkeley, CA high school students have constructed a solar-powered tiny house. The unnamed home measures just 9.2 sq m (100 sq ft) and boasts solar power and a small sleeping and storage area.

June 3 marks 50 years to the day that Edward H. White II stepped out into the emptiness of space in 1965, and NASA has marked the milestone by rolling out a catalog of breathtaking photos taken across decades of extravehicular activity.

Researchers from Vanderbilt University have created the world's smallest continuous spirals. The spirals exhibit a set of very specific optical properties that would be difficult to fake, making them ideal for use in identity cards or other items where authenticity is paramount.

An interactive façade is to be wrapped around the south-east corner of a building at the Ontario College of Art and Design University in Toronto. Its design is based on mapping data from the local area. Passers-by will be able to read information embedded in the façade by photographing it.

Hasselblad has launched a new line of medium format digital cameras which are designed for aerial photography and have no moving internal parts to prevent any unintentional movement that may occur due to aircraft vibration.

To demonstrate the parking sensor technology of the Fiat 500, marketing agency Leo Burnett designed the Human Parking Aid. Sensors are used to gauge a car's location in relation to parked vehicles and helpers on a video billboard show how much room for maneuver the driver has.

Tunneling work has been completed for the UK's Crossrail rail link. Described as Europe's biggest construction project, it will create a new 118-km (73-mile) rail route. The route includes 42 km (26 miles) of newly dug tunnels that go straight through the center of London.

Sportsmobile's conversion of a Ford E-Series Cutaway into a custom-built van wasn't the only new model it had on show at this year's Overland Expo West. With the recent introduction of the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4x4 to the US, Sportsmobile now offers an efficient, all-terrain Sprinter diesel camper.

The recent 2015 DARPA Robotics Challenge saw 24 of the most sophisticated robots ever built competing against one another, but there's a lot more to the story. Gizmag went behind the scenes to the "garage" where the tech teams tended their robotic chargesto learn more.

In the exhibition area at the 2015 DARPA Robotics Challenge Finals, a pair of humanoid prototypes built by SRI and Sandia National Laboratories hit the treadmills to demonstrate new technology that allows robots to operate longer on a single battery charge.

Machine vision and robotic precision have combined in a new way to further fruit fly research. Scientists at Stanford's Bio-X program have developed a robot that can catch and sort the tiny creatures much faster than a human can, though to the flies themselves it must seem like an alien abduction.
