The good news may be 65 million years too late, but a new study indicates that you could outrun a Tyrannosaurus rex. By combining two separate biomechanical simulations, scientists have concluded that the giant meat eater couldn't move at much above a walking pace without its leg bones breaking.

Top-tier tiny house firm Escape first unveiled the Traveler back in 2015 but has just announced a new, updated version called the Traveler XL Limited. Bigger and better than the original, the new tiny house also comes with more options and can sleep an impressive 10 people.

Having announced the high-riding Insignia Country Tourer would be headed stateside wearing a Regal TourX badge, the team at Buick has whipped the covers off the range-topping Regal GS. With a punchy six-cylinder engine and torque vectoring, it certainly looks good on paper.

​If you ever find yourself stuck in a disaster zone, your rescuer could be a soft robotic snake. A Stanford team has developed a flexible robot that grows like a vine, squeezing through rubble to find trapped survivors and even delivering water to them.

According to MIT, today's water distribution systems lose an average of 20 percent of their supply to holes along the way, so it is developing a small robot that can be deposited through a fire hydrant to sniff out the leaks.

If you kick a ball on the ground, it will roll away from you – that’s pretty basic science. But mathematicians have found that a quantum ball would roll toward your foot instead. When a force is applied to them, quantum particles can move in the opposite direction, in an effect known as “backflow.”

​It takes something special to stand out in the completely saturated Bluetooth speaker market these days, like say, taking the shape of a humanoid robot or a dining table. Then again, you could bear the name of an iconic instrument maker, like the very first set of Bluetooth speakers from Fender.

After going dark in 2015, Google Glass is making a triumphant return. For the last two years Glass has been working with a variety of companies to find ways of incorporating the device across a broad spectrum of businesses.

Cardboard is versatile stuff and, aside from packaging, has been used to make everything from a helmet to a bicycle, and even a church and guitar. The latest addition to the ranks is the Foldo Bebe, a flatpack cardboard baby crib that promises to be lightweight, durable, and green.

Budapest startup Platio has spent the last couple of years developing a modular, self-contained paving panel that harvests the sun's energy to produce electricity. The panels have recently been rolled out in front of a shopping mall, at a harbor and integrated into outdoor seating.

NASA's Human Exploration Research Analog (HERA) XIII simulated deep space mission has ended after a record 45 days. The four-man crew is celebrating by getting some kip after more than six weeks in a study examining the effects of sleep deprivation on astronaut efficiency.

Isaac Asimov’s Three Laws of Robotics are versatile enough that they still persist after 75 years. But to make sure the guidelines for programming artificial intelligence cast as wide a net as possible, experts from the University of Hertfordshire have detailed a new system they call “Empowerment.”
