Duke University is developing a cartilage-like material based on hydrogel that allows bioengineers to create bespoke artificial 3D-printed replacement parts for injured knees that are tailored to match the old part both in shape and mechanical properties.

​The 3D-printing of glass objects has been achieved before – we've seen it done by extruding molten glass, and even via a modern take on an ancient Egyptian technique. A new process, however, is claimed to produce complex glass items of a higher quality than has ever previously been possible.

Last year, ORNL scientists revealed they were working on ultrasonic clothes drying technology. At the time, they said they planned to implement the technology in a press dryer and a clothes dryer drum. A new video shows they've been true to their word.

Masrasector nananubis might have been no bigger than a skunk, but that didn't prevent it from becoming top dog after the dinosaurs died out. Named after the Egyptian god of mummification​, its rise and fall is part of an epic evolutionary tale of climate change and continental drift.​​

To make it easier to visualize the effects the changing climate is having on the planet, environmental scientists have put together a series of before-and-after photos, highlighting drastic ice loss.

One month after the BP oil spill, the US government commissioned research to calculate the environmental cost of the disaster. The results are now in, with scientists placing a mighty price tag on damage to natural resources.

New research has looked at how drinking beetroot juice can improve brain performance in older adults, finding that its consumption before exercise can make it mirror the activity of a younger brain. ​

​Scientists at Empa are developing a gelatine-based model that simulates the characteristics of human skin by mimicking the way it absorbs water. This could provide an alternative to human clinical trials for testing how skin interacts with textiles, like surgical dressings.

If you need proof Chinese cars are fast catching up to the rest of the world, just look at some of the vehicles coming out of Auto Shanghai. The styling team at Haval has shown what it can do with the HB-03. It might be a concept for now, but the SUV previews what the future of Haval will look like.

Aerojet Rocketdyne has successfully completed hot-fire qualification tests of its MR-104J liquid-fueled rocket engine for Boeing's Crew Space Transportation (CST)-100 Starliner crew module.

VW Group has its sights on 2025 for an expansion of its electrified vehicle portfolio. By that time, five of the group's all-electric vehicles will be wearing a Skoda badge ... compared to none today. Skoda starts now with a sporty electric crossover named the Vision E.

If supercars have become a bit too ho-hum, perhaps what you really need to bring on a new wave of enthusiasm is ... an aquarium? That's what one supercar startup is thinking, combining all-electric power and extreme styling in a unique 2+2 layout (2 people, 2 fish).
