Artificial intelligence research is opening new avenues in the ever-evolving dance between human game developers and their algorithmically-intelligent tools. Procedural generation can now create universes, game mechanics, and even complete, standalone 2D and 3D games.

Indiana University biologists claim to have found a quicker, cheaper, cleaner way to increase production in bioethanol-producing microbes using nitrogen gas. This could replace chemical fertilizers and make the cost of cellulose ethanol competitive with that of corn ethanol and gasoline.

Those working through the night or regularly falling victim to jet lag may be familiar with the physical toll of disrupting our biological clocks. Research has now uncovered what scientists call a reset button, pointing to new possibilities for treatments to get our bodies back in sync.

Researchers at the Georgia Institute of Technology have developed an innovative keyboard that can accurately identify users based on their typing patterns. Not only that, the device can power itself by harvesting the static electricity on your fingertips.

Despite the fact that nearly 85 percent of the mass of the universe is theorized to be dark matter, no direct evidence has yet proved that it actually exists. Researchers have theorized the existence of a new "lighter" dark matter particle in an effort to unravel the mystery.

The 2014 Grand Prix season was a very good one for Mercedes. The 2015 season is right around the corner and Mercedes has unveiled the new car it will use in defense of its title – the F1 W06 Hybrid Silver Arrow.

We've certainly seen a lot of running shoes with shock-absorbing cushions in the soles, that are designed to absorb energy on the downstep and then release it on the upstep. The Enko shoe, however, takes that concept a step farther – it incorporates two actual coil-sprung shocks on each shoe.

A peek behind the scenes at the world's leading performance electric motorcycle company. Gizmag's Loz Blain visited Zero's head office outside Santa Cruz, California to talk about batteries, production lines, the 2015 Zero range and how America's fast-charge infrastructure is letting riders down.

Florida-based Cubicco's line of flatpack homes are tougher than they look, and are rated to withstand hurricane wind speeds of up to 180 mph (290 km/h). They're also green too, and come with a number of sustainable options, including rainwater harvesting and solar power.
