The chemical tree got a bit of a shake this week with scientists at IBM announcing the discovery of the first new class of polymer materials in decades. The new plastics have properties that could potentially have a huge impact in manufacturing, transportation, aerospace, and micro electronics.

HTC's One (M8) handset might be the current king of the Android crop, but its not all the company has to offer. Taking design cures from the larger device, the HTC One mini 2 packs some solid specs into a smaller case. Read on as Gizmag compares HTC’s top two Android handsets for 2014.

Taiwan is looking to build a new ferry terminal to accommodate an increasing passenger volume at the Port of Kinmen. After fielding proposals from around the globe, it was the mountain-inspired design of Junya Ishigami that the panel deemed would best define the port in the 21st century.

Lockheed Martin has expanded its small unmanned aircraft system (sUAS) family with the introduction of the Vector Hawk. Coming in a number of variants, Lockheed says the aircraft is suitable for a wide variety of different missions thanks to its ability to be rapidly reconfigured in the field.

Researchers at the University Teknologi Petronas, Malaysia, are developing a Smart Veins Locator, that will allow them to see a patient's veins through their skin, regardless of their skin color.

Technological advances aren't just about making new devices. Many times it's more a matter of taking an existing device and improving on it. A case in point is Raytheon’s new thermal imaging chip that the company says will be so small and cheap, that it may make the humble flashlight obsolete.

Even if it's possible to quantify a sport rooted in the expression of personal style, is there a point? One group of skaters feels there's much to gain by tracking flips and spins and have developed Syrmo, a tracker that fits under the trucks to gauge everything from distance to force of your ollie.

With its odd headlight treatments and strange design elements, Nissan’s stylistically contentious Juke is one of those "love it or hate it" vehicles. While the new Juke benefits from some design enhancements and technological revisions, the new X-Trail receives a complete ground up redesign.

Sea-Eye is a unmanned surface vehicle (USV) that's capable of patrolling the oceans even when it capsizes. Developed by Malaysian researchers the battery-powered USV features a design that enables it to work just as well upside down as right way up.
