Melting gold normally requires temperatures upwards of 1,064° C (1,947° F), but physics is never quite that simple. A team of researchers has now found a way to melt gold at room temperature using an electric field and an electron microscope.

​Driving a stock Lamborghini will already cause you to stand out on the road, but what if you really want to make a statement? Well, how about driving a Lambo that's the only one of its kind? That's just what the SC18 Alston is, and it was made for one deep-pocketed customer.

​Back in 2012, Bruno Zamborlin revealed a tiny device that could transform any surface into a musical instrument. Now he's unveiled HyperSurfaces, which taps into the power of AI and machine learning to turn "any object of any material, shape and size" into a user interface.​

Black Friday and Cyber Monday offer amazing opportunities to update your audio gear. From a new pair of stylish wireless headphones to a power Bluetooth speaker, here are the best audio deals around.

Trazor is the ultimate all-in-one shaving kit. It is compatible with over 40 different razor blade cartridges (yes, OVER 40). No more swapping handles. Just click in your new cartridge and go.

All over the world, hobbyists and professionals are putting their aircraft into the sky to gain incredible new perspectives on the natural world. Here we take a look at some stunning examples taken from photo-sharing platform Dronestagram.

As part of preparations for a highly anticipated asteroid encounter, NASA's OSIRIS-REx probe has successfully carried out an important dress rehearsal starring the robotic arm that will be used to grab samples of dust and rock from the surface.​

​Australian cattle stations (aka ranches) can be huge, so checking on all the cows is a big task. With that in mind, the CSIRO national science agency has teamed up with agtech startup Ceres Tag to develop an ear tag that not only tracks the animals' whereabouts, but also detects unusual activity.

Italian yacht builder Benetti combines speed and luxury in its latest 69-m megayacht, "Spectre." Delivered to her new owners in a special ceremony at the Livorno shipyard, she combines inspirations from race cars with a hull design that makes her 30 percent faster than other yachts in her class.

A team of MIT engineers have flown what was long thought impossible – a heavier than air craft that needs no moving parts for achieving powered lift. The 5-lb (2.3-kg) does not use propellers, turbines, or fans, but relies on a silent stream of ionized air to maintain steady flight.

Keurig is best known for popularizing the coffee pod machine, but realizing it’s always five o’clock somewhere, the company is now taking the concept out on the town with the Drinkworks Home Bar, which cooks up cocktails (or beer and cider, for some reason) from the same kind of premixed pods.

For both skydivers and astronauts, a spin can be a fatal mistake, so engineering firm Draper is working on an anti-spin device to bring them automatically back to stability. Using a network of sensors and gyroscopes,the new system detects a dangerous rotation and generates a counter-torque.
