Motion sickness is a common side effect of VR, as the brain has trouble reconciling the movement the eyes are seeing with the lack of motion the body is feeling. Now researchers at Columbia University have developed a new approach to minimize the symptoms.

​"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.

Volvo has SPA, Volkswagen has MQB and now Mercedes has used TecDay in Stuttgart to announce a dedicated platform for pure electric cars, alongside plans for wireless EV charging and a hydrogen plug-in hybrid SUV.

The water within freshwater lakes is regularly turned over by storms in the winter months, distributing oxygen to the lower levels and preserving the ecosystem. But scientists warn global warming might put the brakes on this process and compromise the health of our freshwater resources.

The days of the rackety, energy-gobbling refrigerator may be numbered with the advent of more efficient systems that cool with the use of magnets. Cooltech Applications has launched the first magnetic refrigeration system (MRS) for commercial use.​​

The Rolls Royce Vision Next 100 is the company's first ever pure concept, and presents a fully autonomous vehicle that for all intents and purposes is a rolling luxury living room that gives you no reason to ever want to leave.​​

Olli is an autonomous electric bus unveiled by Local Motors today just outside Washington DC​. The on-demand bus, most of which is 3D-printed, will leverage the power of IBM's Watson supercomputer to talk to passengers en route.

Peugeot is a brand on the rebound at the moment, pumping out attractive cars designed to appeal to modern city dwellers. The upcoming 3008 SUV fits that bill, and even though it hasn't debuted yet it is already being treated to a faster GT version.​​

​In the old days, there was no replacement for displacement, but that’s not so true anymore. Take Land Rover as an example. The British marque managed to pull 100-tonnes (110 tons) worth of train with a Discovery Sport powered by a bog-stock 2.0-liter Ingenium diesel engine.

By trapping photons inside a tiny gold cavity, scientists have created a hybrid state of light and matter. This could allow them to develop tiny on-chip lasers or tweak the chemical bonds of single molecules.
