A new NASA study focusing on irregularities in Earth’s upper atmosphere may help scientists overcome disruptions in GPS communication. The findings provide an insight into the causes of the disruptive regions, and represent the first time that such observations have been made from space.

We took a quick look at the all-new second-generation Audi R8 in our Geneva Motor Show exotic car photo gallery, but the new supercar is definitely worth a deeper dive. That's because beyond the basic styling and engineering refresh, there's an all-new R8 model: the 455-hp (340-kW) e-tron.

A new redox flow battery developed at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) more than doubles the amount of energy that this type of cell can pack in a given volume, approaching the numbers of lithium-ion batteries.

Diageo, the company behind popular poisons like Smirnoff and Baileys, has announced a Johnnie Walker Blue Label smart whiskey bottle. The connected bottle could enable distributors to better track stock, connect with user's smartphones and detect when someone has cracked it open prematurely.

We might be a ways off having buildings pop up at the push of a button, but on construction sites around the world flying robots are already carrying out surveying tasks more efficiently than we can. And experts say that when it comes to automating construction, that's not all they have to offer.

The company behind the one-off Ferrari P4/5 by Pininfarina has unveiled its latest creation. Scuderia Cameron Glickenhaus (SCG) has developed road and race versions of the new SCG003. SCG says it has downforce and engine torque that are "unknown in the supercar world."

If autonomous delivery drones are ever going to see widespread use, then they can't simply fly around with no regard for other aircraft. That's why researchers from RMIT University have developed a system that lets drones communicate with air traffic controllers using a synthesized voice.

Researchers at the Fraunhofer Institute have developed a "biobattery" in the form of a highly efficient biogas plant that can turn raw materials like straw, scrap wood and sludge into useful outputs for the energy and transportation industry.

It's a simple fact that the more fluid an oil is, the easier it is to pump. That's why Temple University's Prof. Rongjia Tao has developed a device that reduces the viscosity of crude oil by electrifying it.

Automotive supplier Magna has unveiled a new concept car that will debut at the Geneva Motor Show. The Magna MILA Plus is part of the company's MILA innovation and technology brand. It's a plug-in hybrid two-seater sports car with an all-electric range of 75 km (47 miles).

In this final part of our deep dive into the world of computational creativity, we turn to the underlying ideas and challenges that face the field as a whole as researchers grapple with questions of non-human creativity and public fears about the potential dangers of artificial intelligence.

Wheel theft is always a risk when leaving a nice bike parked in an urban environment. Cyclists can do things like removing the front wheel and locking it to the frame and rear wheel. Kryptonite's new Security WheelNutz, however, offer a quicker alternative ... with an interesting twist.
