A breakthrough new study has demonstrated that reversing mitochondrial dysfunction in mouse models can reverse hair loss and smooth wrinkles. The research points to new targets for scientists to investigate in developing treatments for age-related skin deterioration and hair loss.

The Robot Art Competition is a fascinating blend of art and technology, challenging engineers to create robotic systems that can produce artworks using physical brushes and paint. The winners of the 3rd annual competition highlight the growing sophistication and variety of machine-generated artwork.

Underwater drones are starting to become more popular, and the Gladius is one of the better-specified ones you'll find. Capable of diving for over four hours, to depths of 330 ft, with a 4K camera and 2,400-lumen spotlights, it makes for some fascinating underwater exploration.

A team has developed the first wearable skin sensor that can measure a person’s cortisol levels from their sweat. Cortisol, a hormone that spikes in response to stress, is an important biomarker for scientists that can help measure everything from emotional stress to metabolism and immune function.

​The Ocean Cleanup’s trash-collecting barriers have been through a number of iterations since their conception around five years ago. The latest cleverly harnesses the power of wind and surface waves to autonomously sweep through the area, gathering up plastic waste as it goes.

As we look forward to a 21st century filled with massive mega-cities, and extraordinary technological innovation, we must ask how are our science fiction visions influencing the cities we build, and what can we learn from some of these prescient fictional texts?

It may look like a discarded piece of plumbing or a message in a bottle bobbing about aimlessly in the river, but Queensland University of Technology's humble "Drifter" hides some serious kit with a lifesaving mission for flood-prone regions.

The brain is a complex tangle of neurons that allow us to process lots of different stimuli at once. A Duke University team has found evidence that individual neurons can process multiple signals simultaneously, by rapidly alternating between them.

The Israeli Defence Force brings artificial intelligence to armored combat with the latest variant of its main battle tank​. The Merkava Mk 4 Barak is billed as the first tank to have an advanced AI and sensor system​ that takes over many routine tasks.

We've had autonomous cars, autonomous trucks, and autonomous buses, and now Osaka-based diesel engine manufacturer Yanmar is introducing a new line of robotic tractors that operate in autonomous and semi-autonomous modes.

There are many elite automobile auctions in Europe each year, but few compare with Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed sale​. This year saw some exceptional cars and some remarkable bargains. We've picked out the very best on offer at Bonhams Goodwood Festival of Speed sale.

​A couple of years ago, we told you about Moto Parilla's radical Carbon off-road e-bike – it certainly made a visual statement. Well, now the Italian company is back with the Parillino, a fat-tired folding bike/e-bike that's also pretty eye-catching.
