Diamond is a useful material, but its relative rarity on Earth makes it difficult to get. Now, researchers at NCSU have demonstrated a new way to convert carbon nanofibers and nanotubes into diamond fibers that can be performed in a lab more easily than existing techniques.

​Although it's certainly best if dogs are trained to relieve themselves outdoors, there can be situations – such as if they're left home alone all day – in which they've just gotta go inside. Created by Austin, Texas-based Newton's Box, Inubox is designed to let them do so without any mess.

In anticipation of astronauts returning to the lunar surface, ESA's education coordinator David Green and science operations engineer Tobias Weber are leading a study at the space agency's astronaut center in Cologne to learn more about the long-term effects of lunar gravity on the human body.

​Ordinarily, when scientists want to produce proteins for use in medicine, they have to utilize techniques that are costly and complex. Recently, however, Scottish researchers have created genetically-modified hens that simply lay eggs containing significant quantities of such proteins.

This year's CMT show was exploding with slick, space-optimized camper vans built for travel, leisure and outdoor living. In fact, such vehicles were everywhere. These vans ranged from mini-campers built for couples to full-size camper vans cleverly stacked for five or six people.

HyperloopTT has just welcomed its first full-scale passenger capsule to its first test facility in France, with the CEO indicating that the commercial customers could hop aboard as early as 2022.​

​How the space environment impacts the human body is the source of much intrigue for scientists at NASA and beyond. A fascinating new study has sought to provide answers, uncovering some thought-provoking changes in the brains of astronauts before and after missions into space.

The ambitious Shimao Wonderland Intercontinental Hotel certainly lives up to its informal "groundscraper" nickname. Hugging the cliff face of an 88 m (288 ft)-deep disused quarry, the building features an eye-catching waterfall-like glass atrium and an underwater restaurant and hotel rooms.
