The name of the Martian region of Utopia Planitia roughly translates as "plains of paradise." It turns out it could be a paradise indeed for astronauts, as a frozen ice deposit holding as much water as Lake Superior, the largest of North America's Great Lakes, was recently found beneath the soil.

Researchers at OSU are working on a way to restore movement to paralyzed patients by means of tiny arrays of implantable electrodes. The team has demonstrated the electrodes' potential in a cat, which provides hope not only for those with spinal cord injuries, but also people with prosthetic limbs.

Amazon has announced that its Dash Replenishment Program has added a new set of devices, including Nestlé's baby food dispenser and a trash-tracker that monitors your garbage can's incoming traffic.​

A novel study has found success in using the extracellular matrices in zebrafish to jumpstart mammalian cardiac tissue regeneration, possibly bringing science closer to fixing a "broken heart.​"

From temporary tattoos that track your blood alcohol level, to a paper skin that responds to stimuli, it's no stretch to realize that flexible electronics will be a big part of technology going forward. Adding yet another option to this field is a clear, conductive film made by mini jet engines.

The JamStack is a portable guitar amplifier that snaps onto a strap peg and makes use of a connected smartphone to tap into an almost infinite universe of app-based digital effects.

​One of the more likely doomsday scenarios may be a future where our antibiotics become useless against a rising tide of “superbugs.” According to new research, predatory bacteria could be injected into the body to work with the immune system in hunting down harmful, antibiotic-resistant bugs.

Wondering just what impact a US withdrawal from the Paris Agreement would have on climate change, as part of our "One Big Question" column, we turned to Donald Boesch, president of the University of Maryland Center for Environmental Science, to see what he thought. Here's what he had to say.

Researchers at EPFL looked at the idea of car-free cities and concluded that Jetson-style moving walkways could not only replace the car, but could each carry 7,000 passengers an hour more energy efficiently than buses.

Researchers at the University of Central Florida have created a supercapcitor that can not only be fully-charged in mere seconds, but can go on to be recharged more than 30,000 times without affecting performance or capacity.

Cleaning up toxic explosives at military training grounds can be very expensive using conventional methods, so scientists at the University of Washington and the University of York have developed an alternative – they've created transgenic grass that "eats" those explosives.​

Lotus has unveiled what it says is the fastest Exige it has ever made. The top-of-the-range Exige Sport 380 will hit 60 mph from a standstill in just 3.5 seconds and maxes out at 178 mph. It has been designed to compete with what Lotus terms "six-figure supercars."
