With a claimed service height quadruple that of the Martin jetpack, a new autonomous, personal VTOL helicopter concept, the Airvinci, is being developed first as a heavy drone, then as a fully-fledged, human-carrying aerial transport system.

The Bushwacker is a custom tiny house designed to serve as a luxury mobile hunting lodge. It features a steampunk-like exterior and several hunting-related additions, including a scent control system and a game processing station.

​"Have you tried turning it off and on again?" is a standard IT solution, but researchers have found that an immune system reboot can cure early MS. In trials, the treatment suppressed brain inflammation, prevented relapses, halted disease progression and even reversed some symptoms.

How do you see what's going on in a fruit fly's mind? Why you build a window to its brain, of course. While that might sound like a bad joke, it's exactly what scientists at the University of California San Diego (UCSD) have just done.

Suppose that you had to build a tiny structure for use in a microelectronic device. Well, a new 3D printing technique would certainly make the process easier. It allows people to essentially draw minuscule metal items in mid-air.

The charge toward a world of autonomous trucks is being led by major manufacturers like Daimler and Volvo. An embryonic startup called Otto, however, is developing technology that can be retrofitted to existing trucks so that they too can drive themselves.

​An Australian team has set a new record for squeezing as much electricity as possible out of direct, unfocused sunlight via a new solar cell configuration. The 34.5 percent sunlight-to-electricity conversion efficiency comes closer than ever to the theoretical limits of such a system.

Last month, Facebook revealed its ideal virtual reality camera, a 17-lens video system that captures action in all directions. Now the Surround 360 is out strutting its stuff, being used to shoot a short film set in New York's Grand Central Terminal and showcase its immersive chops.

This autonomous shuttle bus is already on sale. Fully electric and capable of operating like a set-route bus or an on-demand taxi within geofenced areas, the Navya Arma carries 15 people at a top speed up to 45 km/h.

​BMW's halfway-house to M car ownership just got a little bit faster, thanks to a power boost for the M135i and M235i. They don't quite offer the full motorsports experience, but the new M140i and M240i could give AMG and Audi RS owners a few sleepless nights.

We've previously celebrated shipping container architecture for its utility, cost and sustainability, but rarely find cause to laud its looks. However, a group of vineyard buildings by Cumulus Studio shows that in the right hands, the humble container can look pretty damn good too.

Perhaps the key to good long-haul aircraft cabin design is to make passengers forget that they're stuck in a long-haul aircraft cabin. Virgin Australia's new International Business Class cabin may help to do that, with queen-length beds, 18-in HD screens and and a bar at which to booze and schmooze.
