Pesticides generally take something of a shotgun approach to eliminating critters, but the problem is not all of them are bad news. Scientists have now discovered a way the recipe of these substances might be refined to better target the bad guys while leaving bees alone.

Following on from the pursuit-rated police hybrid sedan and F-150 Police Responder it released earlier this year, Ford has unveiled a Special Service Plug-In Hybrid Sedan.

​A new device could finally see compact speakers delivering big sound thanks to some clever math and a maze of passive resonant chambers that massively boost the bass that can be produced by a tiny smartphone speaker.​

​Supercomputers are typically huge and expensive, and they take an awful lot of power to run. Looking for a cheaper way allow developers to build and test high performance computer system software, LANL turned to the ubiquitous Raspberry Pi and Australia's BitScope.​

If humans are ever going to colonize Mars, we need to make sure we can grow food locally. Now a team from Wageningen University & Research has found that earthworms might soon need a name change: these creatures crucial for making soil fertile, can thrive and reproduce in simulated Martian soil.

A team of researchers has found that house flies and blow flies can spread a whole host of bacteria that was previously unsuspected to hitch a ride on the insects. But this bacteria-carrying capability could be hijacked and used in a public health surveillance capacity to track pathogen outbreaks

A brand new ‘battery cell competence center’ in Munich will help BMW develop its own expertise in battery design, from packaging, testing and weatherproofing right down to the level of cell chemistry and production technologies. It's a serious bet on the electric mobility revolution.

The excess liquid that's generated during tofu production takes the form of whey, and it's often just discarded. Now, however, scientists from the National University of Singapore have developed a technique for turning the whey into a tasty antioxidant-rich alcoholic beverage.​

Researchers at MIT have developed a new membrane-based system that can convert carbon dioxide emissions into useful alternate fuels. The process has been effectively demonstrated on a small-scale and the researchers hope to ultimately adapt the system to conventional fossil fuel-based power plants.

For several years now, California-based Martian has produced stylish smartwatches that hark back to more traditional designs. Its latest smartwatch, the mVoice G2, is the biggest blend of old and new yet, combining mechanical watch hands with a full round OLED display.

NASA used a selfie taken outside Antarctica's McMurdo Station and sent to the International Space Station to show off a new technology called Disruption Tolerant Networking, that will allow spacecraft far from Earth to communicate with mission control using an interplanetary version of the internet.
