BAE Systems has won a contract worth up to US$400 million to design a low-cost, autonomous robotic combat drone that can partner with piloted warplanes under the US Air Force's Skyborg program.

Seattle-based USNC-Tech has developed a concept for a safer and more reliable Nuclear Thermal Propulsion system that could help realize the goal reducing Earth-Mars travel time to just three months.

The Hummer EV's full off-road feature suite starts with a 350-mile range robust enough to make drivers confident in leaving the pavement. Here's a full-motion look at how that suite brings a little order to the unpredictable chaos of off-roading.

Scientists at Australia’s RMIT have developed a tiny sponge with big potential, and say the micron-sized material can be used to convert discarded cooking oil into biodiesel in a very cost-effective manner. And this catalyst is no one-trick pony.

A new study is shedding light on the link between autism and gut microbiome impairments. The research reveals a potential mechanism by which altered gut bacteria populations can lead to abnormal microbial detoxification and mitochondrial dysfunction.

General Atomics Electromagnetic Systems (GA-EMS) and Boeing have entered into a partnership to develop a scalable 100 kW to 250 kW-class High Energy Laser (HEL) weapon system for air and missile defenses.

A new study has identified 1,004 stars from which aliens could detect signs of life in Earth’s atmosphere by watching as our planet passes across the disk of the Sun. The study could help provide targets for groups searching for alien civilizations.

When it comes to tracking the positions of a person's moving hand, sensor-equipped gloves are often used. An experimental new system, however, utilizes a wrist-mounted camera … which doesn't even "see" the user's fingers.

The AltasBIOvib is a hand-held, battery-powered neck massager specifically targeted at an often-neglected area: the topmost vertebra in the spine, known as the C1 cervical vertebra, or the Atlas, considering the precious weight it holds up.

Although we've been hearing about tech that allows for the production of stronger concrete, existing structures made of regular concrete could also use some help. That's where new strengthening panels combined with a new mortar are made to come in.

From world exploration to safer commuting, Torsus has quickly adapted the design of its Praetorian 4x4 bus to the needs of different users. Its latest adaptation is sure to make children grumble: a 4x4 school bus that could eliminate all snow days.
