NASA's Cassini spacecraft has revealed the presence of an enormous cloud located around the Saturnian moon Titan's southern polar region. The discovery comes as the spacecraft nears the end of its mission, and it characterizes the ringed giant and its moons in spectacular fashion.

Dubbed "OFF Paris Seine", an upcomng floating river hotel in Paris will feature 58 guests rooms, a scenic guest lounge with open views over the river, a 10 meter (32.8 ft) lap pool, onboard restaurant and a 400 square meter (4,305 sq ft) outdoor terrace.​

Lotus has returned to its roots, adding a new Elise Sport and Elise Sport 220 model to its lineup. The Elise 1.6 and Elise S have been discontinued in favor of these new, lighter Lotus Elise models.

he Guitar Triller offers players a different way to attack a stringed instrument. It can help bring a hammered dulcimer vibe to a bass guitar, give shredders some new ways to speed-pick or add some expressive tap and scrape power play to ukes.

A prototype nebulizer developed at RMIT can deliver high doses more efficiently than inhalers, and it could be used instead of needles for new drug treatments such as DNA vaccines and stem cell therapy. The nebulizer could also replace inhalers for many asthma and lung cancer patients.

The Row-Bot, is a water-cleaning robot prototype that sucks in dirty water, "eats" the microbes it scoops up in its mouth, then breaks them down in its artificial stomach to create energy to power itself. In this way, it generates enough power to continuously impel itself about.

​Engineers have used nanotechnology to model a new membrane that can filter salt from seawater at higher volumes than ever before. The membrane, made from molybdenum disulfide, “pulls” clean molecules water through itself. Potentially, this could make desalination plants much more energy-efficient.

Researchers have developed electronic glasses that can be used in place of eye patches or eye drops for treatment of lazy eye, aka amblyopia. Initial trials suggest they are as effective as these traditional methods​ of treatment.

Using "fools gold" nanocrystals to form part of a larger sodium-magnesium battery, scientists have created a storage cell that not only uses cheap and abundant materials but has the potential to be scaled up to store many terawatt-hours of energy.

The kitchen knife is getting a makeover with a new design featuring a circular grip for improved ergonomics and versatility. Called Bolo, the designers tweaked the traditional knife design to change the movement of the blade and the way the user interacts with it.

Using a soup of molecules that replicates the primordial goo found at the beginnings of life on Earth billions of years ago, scientists have created a coating that may significantly improve the body's acceptance of medical implants.

University of New South Wales scientists have for the first time created two entangled qubits in silicon with record fidelity, paving the way for reliable, massively scalable quantum computers.
