The Volanti from Sydney-based Carbonix is a carbon composite drone with a 2.7-m (9-ft) wingspan that uses a multirotor system for VTOL, then transitions to horizontal flight as a push-prop fixed-wing once in the air. It flies for over two hours on electric power or seven with a gas pusher.

Many people think of iPads when tablets come to mind, but there are plenty of worthy alternatives. The new Samsung Galaxy Tab S3, for example, is shaping up to be very similar to the 9.7-inch iPad Pro. Let's take a look.

Solar car roofs have generally been the reserve of concepts, experiments and niche carmakers. Now Panasonic has developed a solar photovoltaic car roof for the latest Toyota Prius plug-in, upping the wattage to 180 W from the 50 W roof found on earlier Prius models.

MVRDV has a history of designing off-the-wall projects and its recently-unveiled Franklin Mitte proposal definitely follows in that vein. It hopes to turn a former US army barracks in Mannheim, Germany, into a new neighborhood with four letter-shaped towers which spell HOME.

With a few different players now in the game, the race is on to get the Hyperloop up and running. For LA-based startup Hyperloop One, that means rolling into Dubai with photos of its full-scale test track and a few renderings of what the first Middle Eastern Hyperloop stations might look like.​​

The sooner you know an oil spill has occurred, the sooner you can set about containing it. That's why scientists have created a compact and inexpensive oil-detection sensor. Mounted on a buoy in areas where spills are a risk, it could even determine the type of oil that's present.​

He’s the 94-year-old co-inventor of the lithium-ion battery. She’s a physicist with a less-than-conventional idea of building a better battery. Together, can they develop the technology that will finally deliver us from fossil fuels and kickstart the promised EV revolution?

Engineers at MIT have developed a way to use plant cellulose as a feedstock for 3D printers, providing another renewable, biodegradable alternative to popular petroleum-based polymers like ABS currently being used. It could also be cheaper, stronger, and offer antimicrobial properties.

Art has always been fundamentally intertwined with technology. New techniques and materials have constantly allowed artists to innovate and create new types of works. We take a look at the rise and fall of ASCII art, whose roots can be traced back to the text-based artworks of the 19th century.

Hyperloop crossed another milestone in January with the very first test runs being performed in a vacuum as part of the SpaceX Hyperloop Pod Competition. New Atlas caught up with VicHyper, one of 27 teams who converged on SpaceX HQ, to chat about how the competition went and what happens next.

The Toyota Research Institute (TRI) may have only began operation in January, 2016, but it has already developed a test vehicle built around a current model Lexus LS 600hL to aid in the development of autonomous driving technologies.

​Brabus is known for powerful Mercedes sports cars, but the tuner isn't afraid to set its sights lower. Based on the lowly three-cylinder Smart ForTwo, the Brabus Ultimate 125 adds a little more power, a bit more style and a crazy ​pricetag to the formula it debuted on the Smart Brabus last year.
