Data centers use a lot of power, they create a lot of heat, and it helps if they're close to populated areas. With that in mind, Microsoft recently anchored an unmanned data center to the bottom of the sea.​

Regular business flyers will know that planning trips is time-consuming, and that prices can fluctuate significantly. US startup OneGo, however, is out to change all that. It allows customers to pay a fixed monthly fee for unlimited flights on major airlines​.​

Miles of roads in the UK are to be used for testing connected and autonomous vehicle technologies. The UK Connected Intelligent Transport Environment project will evaluate new tech in real-world driving conditions. It will help to make driving safer, reduce journey times and prevent traffic jams.

​The quest for a way to create a rechargeable battery from sodium rather than lithium took a somewhat unexpected turn last month when scientists from the US and Beijing discovered that a baked oak leaf pumped full of sodium made a successful negative terminal for a proof-of-concept battery.

Interested in remote-controlled flying with FPV? We spent some time behind the controls of an eye in the sky, with the latest quadcopter from Axis Drones, the Vidius.​

Scientists are claiming an important advance in soft robotic grippers, demonstrating a device that can better grasp fragile objects through the help of electroadhesion, the very same phenomenon that sees balloons cling to ceilings after being rubbed on your hair. ​

In a first for swarm robotics, a team of engineers has demonstrated intelligent aquatic surface robots that can operate together in a real-world environment using "Darwinian" learning.

Morgan, the family-owned British car manufacturer that still uses wood in the frames of its cars that are assembled by hand, has announced hybrid powertrains will be offered across its entire range by the end of the decade.

Kohn Pedersen Fox Associates and Leslie E. Robertson Associates have drawn-up a remarkably ambitious proposal for Tokyo that includes significant flood defenses, a Hyperloop transportation system and a mile-high skyscraper. The blue-sky concept is imagined for completion in 2045.

A research team at the Ohio State University has created electromechanical devices that look like tiny leafless trees and can generate electricity when they are moved by seismic activity, the slight swaying movements of a tall building, or the vibrations from traffic on a bridge.

Perovskite-based solar cells have been hampered by poor durability, but a new compound developed at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Lausanne could lead to cells that are cheaper, highly efficient and more durable than current devices.

If you’re completely new to virtual reality, the ultra-affordable Honido Mini glasses provide an extremely convenient – but significantly compromised – sneak peek.
