Artists Claudius Schulze and Maciej Markowicz have embarked on a voyage through Europe's waterways on two self-built motorized houseboats. The aptly-named 2Boats project involves the pair traveling to multiple destinations while meeting people and documenting their journey.

For folks on an extended road trip or that have to endure living garage-free, motorcycle covers may be the only option for protecting your steed from the elements. Astric is a motorcycle jacket with a folded-up bike cover stowed away in the back so you won't forget it.

A team of biologists and engineers from Harvard University and the University of South Carolina have taken a fresh look at shark scales in the hopes of making drones, planes and wind turbines more efficient.

A team of scientists has studied 25 years' worth of satellite data, and calculated that the sea level isn't rising at a steady rate, it's accelerating. If the trend continues, the total sea level rise could be twice as high as previous projections by 2100.

For the first time ever, scientists have managed to slap a camera onto the back of a minke whale as it swam through the icy waters of Antarctica, surprising researchers with its speed and a seemingly voracious appetite.

When SpaceX shot a Tesla Roadster into interplanetary space. it included a copy of Isaac Asimov's sci fi epic, The Foundation Trilogy laser etched on a quartz disc called an "Arch library," which is designed to survive intact for billions of years.

​Titanium alloys are some of the strongest materials we can build with, but they can be expensive. Now, there's a way to make an alternative that literally grows on trees. Using a new “densification” process, a team made “super wood”, which has the strength and toughness of steel.

The team behind the Solowheel electric unicycle has unveiled a learning aid that sweeps away all competition. The Solowheel Brush deploys large brushes where you might expect trainer wheels, providing similar stability but without inhibiting steering.​​

The Hubble Space Telescope has captured a stunningly detailed view of the weakly barred spiral galaxy NGC 3344, which is located some 20 million light-years away in the direction of the "Lion Cub" constellation, Leo Minor.

Startup Hyperloop Transportation Technologies has signed an agreement with local authorities to start investigating the feasibility of an interstate Hyperloop system for the first time in the US, a tube that would link the cities of Cleveland and Chicago.

​Although wind turbines may seem like the epitome of "green" energy, scientists from Vanderbilt University are working on making them even greener. They're looking at a resin that could save energy when turbine blades are being created, and that might make those blades more recyclable.

For a few years, construction firm Ryterna modul has run an architectural competition centered around different design challenges. This year, the task set to participants was to design a tiny house with some very specific parameters and after evaluating 150 entries the winners have been revealed.
