Each year in Monterey, the winners of the most prestigious concours of the previous year are gathered for a best-of-the-best shoot-out judged by the most revered names in the industry. This year a 1954 Maserati A6GCS Berlinetta won Peninsula Classics Best of the Best Award.

We’re really at a loss for words on this one. If the goal of making a custom motorcycle is to have something conspicuously different and unique, then we’d put this one in the top 1 percent of customs we’ve ever seen. For starters, the tank and seat lift off the bike on hydraulic struts.

Scientists have developed a technique that lets them directly control physical movements in mice. Using magneto-thermal stimulation, they activated sections of the brain that caused mice to run, turn or stop, which could eventually lead to new therapies for brain disorders or even mental illness.

As India's gargantuan motorcycle market matures, Indian manufacturers are partnering with or acquiring brand names that focus on provenance, heritage and authenticity: Peugeot (since 1901), Triumph (since 1902), BSA (since 1903) and Husqvarna (since 1903).​

DeLorean is a name associated with a certain brushed stainless steel supercar, but now it's being added to aircraft. DeLorean Aerospace is developing a two-person VTOL aircraft called the DR-7 that combines rotating ducted lift/propulsion fans with an autonomous flight control system.

​SprayPrinter hit the scene in early 2016 with its innovative app-controlled device that can sit on the head of any can of spray paint. Now the company has taken things to a new level, developing a prototype that can climb up and down walls to create large-scale murals.

Space is a very hostile place for electronics, so BAE Systems is rolling out its new RAD5545 single-board computer designed to survive the hard radiation in space while providing "exponential improvements" over the company's previous RAD750 SBC in terms of size, speed, and power-efficiency.

​Siemens first revealed its eHighway concept back in 2012, where a hybrid diesel/electric truck moving down a stretch of road could raise its pantograph to overhead power lines and roll along on electric power only. Now similar plans have been revealed for a 10 km stretch of Germany's A5 autobahn.​

​It's not unusual for new mountain bikes to be unveiled at the Crankworx festival. What certainly is unusual, though, is a bike that premiered at this year's event. Made by Structure Cycleworks, the SCW 1 does away with a traditional suspension fork, and replaces it with a linkage-style suspension.

Thanks to a global network of 18 robotic telescopes, researchers caught a brief blue glow in the sky which, they say, was the result of a different kind of supernova explosion. The find reveals surprising information about the companion star next to the white dwarf that sparked the spectacle.

​The idea of a small, portable, electrified skateboard like the Kuickwheel Serpent-C​ is intriguing. We can imagine ourselves going Tony Hawk all over the place on a board that propels itself. The reality is that most of us can't really board that well. But that doesn't mean we can't have fun.

Keeping safe and comfortable in arctic conditions is a precarious balancing act, so scientists from Stanford University and the US Army Natick Soldier Research, Development & Engineering Center are working on energized fabrics that heat up when powered, yet wick away sweat and dry easily.
