In a blow for asymmetry, Disney Research Zurich and ETH Zurich have developed a computer algorithm that can take any shape, no matter how cock-eyed, and make it spin like a top.

Melbourne, Australia, is the latest to experience a push for elevated bike highways, with a consortium of architectural and engineering firms advocating the Veloway as a means of improving safety for cyclists, while also creating a vital transport link across the city.

ESA’s last Automated Transfer Vehicle (ATV)-5 Georges Lemaître has arrived at the International Space Station (ISS). In what the space agency describes as a “flawless demonstration of technology and skill,”

This year's Outdoor Retailer took the multifunctional hiking pole to a new level, with two hiking poles that double as full-on survival multi-tools. One includes an interchangeable multitool system, while the other has a built-in flashlight … and stun gun.

UK-based 4x4 Aviation has conceived a hybrid VTOL cargo plane dubbed the VV (Versatile Vehicle)-Plane that is fitted with electric, tiltable, ducted fans and will be able to carry truck-sized loads at nearly 200 mph (320 km/h).

Last month, Land Rover claimed a new record for a production SUV as its 2015 Range Rover Sport SVR ran the Nordschleife circuit in eight minutes and 14 seconds. Now the company reveals the specs behind how a two and a half tonne Chelsea tractor is able to do a lap time like a stabbed rat.

Jaguar's will debut its newly-completed Car Zero prototype at the Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance. The car will serve as a template for the remaining six of the 18 Lightweight or Special GT E-Types that were planned in 1963 but never built, and which Jaguar will complete over 50 years later.

Many a would-be paddleboarder is dissuaded from ever getting onto the water by the heavy, enormous size of the boards. Corran Addison Paddleboards has developed a three-piece board to help solve this problem.

NASA aerospace engineer Jason Budinoff is working on the first space telescope made entirely from 3D-printed parts. The agency says that using the technique, the first 3D-printed telescope will only take three months to complete.

A chapter of space history closed today as an ambitious project to bring a 36-year old spacecraft back to life came to an end. Despite efforts by the ISEE-3 Reboot Project to restart the ISEE-3’s propulsion system, the unmanned probe has now been hurled back into deep space after a lunar flyby.

Computer scientists at Carnegie Mellon are developing a programming language that seamlessly handles code, objects, and values from multiple other languages in the one program.

Researchers at Tufts University, Boston have developed a three-dimensional brain-like tissue that is structurally similar to living rat brain tissue, functions enough like it for experimental purposes, and is able to kept alive for up to two months.
