Insta360 has upped the ante on pro-level 360-degree VR filming with its new super-portable multi-camera ball. With six lenses, auto-stitching, FlowState stabilization, HDR and 8K-per-eye 3D capability, the Insta360 Pro 2 packs a ton of capability into a US$4,999 piece of equipment.

Scientists have come up with a way to stop damaged lithium-ion batteries catching fire. The batteries effectively harden on impact, preventing the electrodes making contact and starting a fire.

A new technique can store bits as single hydrogen atoms, reaching a data density a thousand times greater than commercially available magnetic and solid-state drives.

​Back in 1998, scientists from the University of Kansas unearthed a gigantic fossilized dinosaur foot in the Black Hills of Wyoming. Nicknamed "Bigfoot" at the time, it's now been officially certified as the largest dinosaur foot ever found.

Europa is regarded as one of the most likely places in the solar system to find life, but where to look for evidence of it? To aid future space missions, a team has drawn up comprehensive maps of the radiation bombarding the moon to determine where explorers must look to find signs of life.

The 2018 BMW 6 Series Gran Turismo is more wagon than crossover and more coupe than wagon. With all-wheel drive as standard and a fastback-style rear hatch that offers more cargo space than a sedan, the GT rides in a lane that’s not quite anything else. This is the new BMW thing.
