Researchers have found that the digestive tract of many people can prevent probiotics from colonizing one's gastrointestinal tract. Additionally, consuming probiotics as a counterbalance to any antibiotics being taken could delay normal gut bacteria returning to their original state.

​​In a new paper, researchers at MIT have detailed a neural network capable of detecting depression. Unlike previous methods using machine learning, MIT's neural net doesn't require the subject to answer specific questions – it can make an assessment based on everyday conversation, or even text.​

Scientists at Tel Aviv University have used the impressive echolocation abilities of bats as inspiration for a new robot, which is able to use ultrasound to autonomously navigate through an environment.

Pluto was demoted from planet status to dwarf planet in 2006. But a new study suggests it should be resurrected as a planet, since the definition the object failed to meet was not based on precedents set in scientific literature.

Air mobility company SkyRyse has developed an assisted-flight technology for first-responders that will be used to speed up air emergency systems in the town of Tracy, California beginning in January of next year.

The Bison is a collaboration with American Expedition Vehicles to create a truly overland-ready pickup truck based on the Colorado diesel model. Fitted with a snorkel and plenty of hot-stamped steel references, the Colorado ZR2 Bison will enter showrooms early next year.

Florida-based company Blu3 has come up with what it claims is the smallest, lightest and cheapest personal dive system available. It consists of a battery-powered, surface-supplied air (SSA) system that lets users dive to 10 ft (3 m) below the surface for about 60 minutes.

​Germany's Elektra Solar has announced that its Elektra Two Solar OPS high altitude, long endurance aircraft has successfully taken off, flown around a bit and landed all by itself, in a demonstration of a new autopilot system.​

One of the more active players in the self-driving trucks game is Daimler, which owns Mercedes-Benz and other heavy truck brands globally. The company has made no secret of its plans to have automated trucking become the norm and took its first major step towards that goal with the new Actros.

Apple is paired with Foster + Partners, Google with BIG and Thomas Heatherwick, and Facebook's architect is Frank Gehry. The social media giant recently commissioned him to expand its HQ in California. The new building was completed in 18 months and has several sustainable features.

The blood-brain barrier is an effective shield against infection, but it’s not so helpful when you’re trying to get drugs in there. Nasal sprays could bypass the barrier, and now researchers have developed a way to use ultrasound pulses to drive the drugs to where in the brain they’re needed.

​As more and more products are manufactured via 3D printing, the potential for 3D-printed counterfeit versions rises accordingly. With that in mind, scientists have devised a method of ensuring that a printed item is the real thing, by building an "exploded" QR code into it.
