​Solar panels are great and all, but they can be a bit of an eyesore. Researchers are finding ways to make them transparent, allowing them to hide on windows, walls or other surfaces. Now an MIT team has developed solar cells that are not only invisible but flexible, thanks to graphene electrodes.

Mankind has long endeavored to construct buildings that reach the heavens. Thanks to advances in tall building design, it's feasible to build skyscrapers almost a kilometer in height – perhaps a mile high will soon be possible too. Join us as we take a look at the world's tallest skyscrapers.

In a nutshell, the 2017 Land Rover Discovery is rugged, capable, and comfortable. Improvements have been made on several fronts, not the least of which in how the Discovery now handles itself on around town.

The one-off Ford F-22 F-150 Raptor pickup hit auction and raked in a cool $300,000. In order to make the big, mean F-150 Raptor even more special, Ford added power, performance and a truly unique, jet fighter-inspired look. The F-22 Raptor F-150 is one of the coolest pickups you'll see this year.

Hollywood has test screened films for years, but what if instead of subjectively asking people whether they liked a film you could objectively look inside their brain and find out? How has science begun infiltrating the test screening process in Hollywood?

This unusual-looking little project by Slovenia's OFIS Architects looks like it could appeal to those looking for a flexible micro-dwelling. Installed in the grounds of Ljubljana Castle, the firm envisions it serving as a shelter, vacation home, housing for researchers, and more.

In quantum computing, information is stored in qubits – trapped molecular material. But qubits are notoriously slippery characters. Now MIT scientists have managed to get a molecule to remain stable for "hundreds of times longer" than previously, making a usable qubit closer than ever to reality.

​Over the years, Gibson has shown that it's not afraid to push the guitar technology envelope. The latest innovation out of the gate is a Gibson Custom Lightly Figured Les Paul Standard with a built-in distortion circuit. A creation Gibson is calling the Burstdriver.​

An Italian movie poster for the 1942 movie Casablanca starring Humphrey Bogart and Ingrid Bergman sold for $478,000 on Saturday evening, becoming the (equal) second-most valuable movie poster ever sold at auction.

The Australian Centre for Robotic Vision (ACRV) has claimed first place in the 2017 Amazon Robotics Challenge with a low-cost Cartesian robot. Built from the ground up for the competition, "CartMan" outshone its costlier rivals by picking and stowing more items in its allotted test time.

Lyft is making a habit of teaming up with big names, as it explores new ways of moving people around. The latest is Disney Parks, which has today announced an on-demand mobility service that will ferry visitors around resorts in Lyft's so-called Minnie Vans.
