A new wheeled robot is able to climb metal structures in a clever and unique way – it uses an extendible tape-measure limb. Descendants of the bot may one day find use inspecting or repairing things like towers, bridges, power stations and ships.

Vermont's Beta Technologies has emerged a leader in the eVTOL space, and it's now become the first to perform a successful transition – from helicopter-style hovering to airplane-like cruising – with a pilot on board.

Trained on simple heart rate data, an AI model can predict an episode of atrial fibrillation 30 minutes in advance. With plans to incorporate it into a smartphone so it can analyze data from a smartwatch, the model would act as an early warning system.

It's super-sustainable, easily made and nutrient-dense. And it puts all other food production to shame. Now, the first air-protein factory is open. It's the food of the future, and soon a $100 million industry – but will you be putting it on your plate?

Using DNA and proteins, scientists have created new synthetic cells that act like living cells. These cells can be reprogrammed to perform multiple functions, opening the door to new synthetic biology tech that goes beyond nature’s abilities.

If you're worried about being unexpectedly overtaken by cars while you're cycling, Trek's new CarBack may be just the ticket. It's not the only bicycle radar device on the market, but it is claimed to be the best in several ways.
