​Using a new microscopic technique scientists have identified a previously unknown human anatomical feature. Dubbed the interstitium, the discovery reveals that what was previously thought to be simply dense connective tissue is actually a complex series of interconnected, fluid-filled compartments.

​It's definitely an understatement to say that the sooner someone is treated for a stroke, the better their chances of survival and recovery. Before they can be treated, though, doctors need to know if they've indeed had a stroke. That's where the Cerebrotech Visor comes in.

Researchers have developed a new polymer film that’s transparent, looks and feels like glass, and conducts electricity. The material is easy to manufacture on a large scale, should be less expensive than the commonly-used, inorganic indium tin oxide, and is more conductive than other polymers.

Lincoln dazzled at last year's NY Auto Show with the all-new Navigator, a much sleeker, more modern interpretation of its full-size SUV. It's back in the SUV driver's seat at this year's show, this time showing a completely new utility vehicle: the mid-size Aviator.

To help hunt down elusive iron meteorites in Antarctica, the University of Manchester recently tested its new towable metal detectors as part of the first ever British-led meteorite hunting expedition in Antarctica that will be carried out in conjunction with BAS.

The fledgling Genesis brand hasn't quite had its defining halo. The all-new Essentia Concept could be the missing piece of the puzzle, debuting in New York as an electrified GT that looks like it should be part of the virtual Vision Gran Turismo fleet. Only it isn't.

​Ordinarily, in order to measure the electrical activity of the heart or muscle tissue, relatively stiff electrodes are applied to the skin along with a contact gel. There may soon be a less cumbersome alternative, however, in the form of ultrathin temporary tattoo electrodes.

​Diabetics often lack sensitivity in their feet, which means that they may not know when foot ulcers are forming. If such ulcers do form and get infected, amputations are sometimes required. The Siren Diabetic Sock, however, is designed to help keep that from happening.

When the mucus barrier inside the cervix relaxes during ovulation sperm is able to enter and fertilize the eggs, but scientists in Sweden have come up with a way to keep the door locked, raising the prospect of a hormone-free contraceptive that induces no side effects. ​

A new technique developed at Berkeley Lab allows liquid 3D structures to be printed within other liquids. This new form of 3D printing could give rise to flexible and stretchable liquid electronics, aid chemical synthesis, or serve as a transport and delivery system for nanoscale particles.

Bacteria can be hardy little creatures, thanks mostly to their strong cell walls. Now researchers at Harvard have identified a structural weakness that seems to be built into a range of bacterial species, potentially paving the way for a new class of widely-effective antibacterial drugs.

Engineering firm Arup is collaborating with CLS Architetti to construct the first 3D-printed concrete house in the European Union. Named 3D Housing 05, the project was conceived to demonstrate the efficacy of cutting-edge 3D-printing concrete technology.
