Timex has something of a reputation of a middle-of-the-road, play-it-safe, value-for-money watchmaker, but the company is stepping out of its comfort zone to partner with France-based SilMach and create a new electronic watch movement using Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS).

Adding a third dimension to sketches with a 3D printing pen can bring a whole new layer of fun to doodling. While other pens have a single extruder nozzle, Scribbler clearly believes that two heads are better than one, and has launched a dual nozzle 3D printing pen called the Duo on Kickstarter.​​

It's an exciting time in display technologies, with flexible and transparent screens popping up regularly, albeit in the lab rather than on our devices. LG just set a new high bar though, with a huge 77-inch OLED screen that you can see through and roll up.

Researchers at Caltech have created a lensless camera which could lead to the development of thinner smartphones and other imaging devices. The new camera replaces the traditional lens with an ultra-thin optical phased array.

Last year, astronomers suggested that a gigantic planet, dubbed Planet 9, might be lurking on the fringes of the Solar System. Now researchers claim that weirdly wobbling objects in the Kuiper Belt indicate the presence of yet another so-far-undiscovered planetary body at least as large as Mars.

​The vision of Italian architect Stefano Boeri is starting to take shape around the world. Now the Chinese region of Liuzhou will also play home to some of his handiwork, with construction underway on a so-called Forest City that is hoped to soak up some of the country's infamous air pollution.

​Flying drones are fast, so why would we even want to bother with ones that move along the ground? Well, ground-based travel requires a lot less energy than flight. With that in mind, a team from MIT has developed autonomous drones that both drive on the ground and fly in the air.

Design firm Artefact Group has revealed a concept that would make the future of healthcare mobile. Integrating passive monitoring technologies in the home, a smartphone app, AI diagnostics and a self-driving clinic, the system combines a variety of innovations for a new spin on healthcare.

US lawmakers have drafted legislation proposing the formation of a new branch of the military called the Space Corps. This new space-orientated military service would join the five other branches of the United States Armed Forces and is intended to manage national security in space.
