A consortium headed by the University of Bonn in Germany has received financing to develop a sensor to detect and warn of epileptic seizures. The sensor can be worn like a hearing aid.

In what has been described as a world first, platoons of trucks have crossed national borders to complete the EU Truck Platooning Challenge. Truck platooning uses autonomous driving technologies for two or more trucks to communicate wirelessly and follow in close succession.

Nissan has used a heavily modified GT-R to break the record for the world's-fastest drift. Piloted by Japanese Drift Champion, Masato Kawabata, the 1,380-hp (1,029-kW) Nissan stole the record from Poland's Jakub Przygoński.

Panasonic has revealed its latest mid-range mirrorless camera in the shape of the Lumix GX80 (also known as the GX85 in the US). Despite the mid-range billing, the 16-meagapixel camera boasts some high-end features including a combination of in-body and lens stabilization.

The Smart Writing Set is Moleskine's latest crack at combining digital and analogue note taking tech to concoct the ideal experience for creatives looking for an alternative to scribbling on an iPad Pro or Galaxy Note tablet.

The result of a collaboration between Breville and PolyScience, the Control Freak is an induction cooker that lets you dial in a temperature and maintain it for perfect poaching, blanching, boiling and broiling every time.

Techno-Classica Essen is the world's largest grass roots classic car event​, and​ you really don't understand the sheer magnitude of an industry until you go to its global "Mecca" and walk the show floor.​ Here's a tour in words and pictures through the 22 halls of this year's gargantuan​ gathering.

Although maggots are closely associated with filth, they're actually remarkably resistant to infection from all the bacteria that surround them. A scientist now believes that he knows why this is the case, and he thinks that it could have applications in human technologies.

Intended to fill a niche between bicycle and car, velomobiles are still quite a rare sight in most of the world … perhaps because they're just too weird. Swedish design engineer Mikael Kjellman has set out to change that, with his decidedly car-like PodRide.

NASA is developing a stiletto-like plane wing that's so long and thin that it needs a truss to hold it up. The longer, thinner, and lighter truss-braced wing, as it is called, is aimed at making future commercial transport aircraft more efficient and less polluting.​

A team of researchers in China has leveraged the remarkable properties of the wonder material to develop a new all-weather solar cell design that is able to generate electricity when current solar cells can't – when it's raining.

Spray paint is a notoriously tricky medium to control. Fortunately for would-be muralists everywhere, researchers have invented a "smart" spray paint system that can use regular cans of paint to re-create photo images as spray-painted murals on walls or other large surfaces.
