Massachusetts-based startup ClearMotion has bought up Bose's revolutionary proactive suspension technology, and has raised US$100 million to commercialize it - and potentially refocus it toward making autonomous cars more effective and more comfortable mobile workspaces.

​Whether someone is recovering from a tendon injury, or they have an abnormality that makes walking difficult, it can be useful for their doctor to know how much tension their tendons experience when placed under load. A new non-invasive device is designed to provide that information.

Swiss company ABB has launched its Terra High Power DC fast charger, which can put out an impressive 350 kilowatts, charging at nearly three times the rate of Tesla's Superchargers. It'll enable super fast car charging – but only once cars are ready to handle it.

Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini has conceived a futuristic community named Wayaland made up of floating pyramid structures. It's still very much in the concept stage, though Lazzarini is hoping to raise the funds to build it with a crowdfunding campaign.

Plain old video calls could soon be made to look very outdated, thanks to new research coming out of Queen's University in Ontario. A team there has produced a 3D teleconferencing system called TeleHuman 2, which enables real-time holograms of people to appear in any location.

On its Digital Day 2018 event, the BMW Group displayed technology applications destined to transform the automotive world in the near future. Starring among these, 3D printing is already producing car parts, but the appearance of a mysterious motorcycle frame certainly raised some eyebrows.

​Inexpensive 3D printers often have a problem called "warpage," in which objects printed by them tend to curl up as they harden. Now, however, scientists have harnessed the power of warpage to create flat items that self-fold into predetermined 3D shapes when heated.

There are a few different things people look for in a car. Some look for high performance. Others favor fuel economy. And some just want it to transform into a 4-meter (13-foot) robot.

DS is exploring what automotive luxury might look like in the year 2035 – it might look like the X E-Tense concept, but it probably won't. This unique "object of desire" blurs the lines between roadster and sedan, between relaxed autonomy and invigorating track driving.

Zaha Hadid Architects has revealed new photos and information regarding its Generali Tower. Soon to be completed in Milan, Italy, the building has a novel twisting form and features significant sustainable design.

Using techniques borrowed from astronomy, biologists have developed a new microscopy technique that delivers extraordinary 3D video of cells moving around inside living tissue. It's a fascinating window into just how busy and complex life is at the cellular level.

Researchers at Dartmouth College have developed a handheld "wand" optical tracking system which it says makes back surgery faster, safer and cheaper. Described as "a Google Maps for the body," the system provides real-time 3-dimensional tracking to help guide the surgeon as they operate.
