In recent radio telescope studies, many hundreds of previously undiscovered galaxies have been found to exist in an area in which an enormous magnetic abnormality known as the "Great Attractor" is located.

Scientists have developed a fluorescent material they claim can more reliably detect explosives in the vicinity, by being a bit more selective about when it changes color.

Multinational firm Infosys will soon boast the world's tallest free-standing clock tower at its campus in Mysuru, India. The clock tower is slated to rise 135 m (442 ft).

Indiana-based wheelchair mobility specialist BraunAbility and Ford will be showing a wheelchair-accessible Explorer at this week's Chicago Auto Show. Called the Explorer MXV, the conversion is meant to put the comfort of a wheelchair-accessible van into the rugged, capable hands of an SUV.

Scientists have just announced what could be the biggest discovery in physics in 100 years. Gravity waves have finally been detected in line with the predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity.

Through around six months of tinkering, a pair of English mechanics have turned a humble old mobility scooter into a high-octane, rubber-burning speed machine that has claimed the record for the world's fastest mobility scooter.

In an effort to create a portable player that does justice to hi-def digital playback and streaming, Pioneer came up with its XDP-100R. We recently got our hands on one, slapped on the headphones, and cranked some tunes to see what it could do.

Shape memory materials have shown promise in a number of applications. Now one team of scientists is examining potential biomedical applications, with polymer that can revert to its original form when triggered by heat from a human body. ​

Testing out new drugs is an extremely time-consuming process, and it can be difficult to get right. Now, a team of scientists has worked to streamline the task, creating a robotically driven experimentation system that's able to reduce the number of necessary tests by as much as 70 percent.

German pro audio gear maker Elysia is celebrating its 10th anniversary with a limited run of its 500 series hardware modules. The front panel of each karacter, nvelope, xfilter and xpressor module is made from recycled vinyl records.

Researchers in California claim to have identified the source of the sigh in the brain, which they say is a life-sustaining reflex for healthy lung functioning. A sigh is mostly an involuntary deep breath, or a regular breath with another added on top before an exhale.

Current tests for prostate cancer are far from ideal, sometimes resulting in unnecessary biopsies, and even failing to detect some cancers. Now, a team of researchers has turned to a machine it calls the Odoreader, designed to analyze urine samples to provide a non-invasive prostate cancer test.
