​Some car makers use motor shows to launch their cars, and some favour events full of influencers and celebrities to drum up some #hype. Jaguar decided to take a different approach for the E-Pace, which was launched – literally – with the world's longest barrel roll for a production vehicle.

There's a new Phantom coming, and Rolls-Royce has big plans for the launch. Historic Phantoms will be rolled out for an exhibition celebrating the car's illustrious history in London – and the latest addition is a big one. If the paintwork didn't give it away, this Phantom V belonged to John Lennon.

​We've seen quite a few huge Lego undertakings over the years, including a Teardrop trailer and a Millennium Falcon. But sometimes, standard bricks just won't cut it. Such was the case for James Bruton, who opted to supersize Lego bricks using a 3D printer to build a blocky electric skateboard.​

Humans will probably be long gone by the time our Sun dies, but at least one lifeform will likely still be alive: the unkillable tardigrade. According to a study from Harvard and Oxford, it’ll take the death of the Sun to kill the species, which bodes well for the resilience of life as a whole.

​​Squirrels are known for their ability to recall important details. But scientists have discovered a squirrel trait they see as a different kind of memory skill, an ability to remember problem-solving techniques from almost two years earlier.​

As promised, Jaguar has revealed the all-new E-Pace crossover. A new Jag SUV is a noteworthy event in itself, but Jaguar welcomed it in with a high-flying world record barrel roll, but we're more excited by the idea of a Jaguar utility vehicle under US$40K.

​The devices currently used to pump blood around the body in lieu of a healthy heart have their drawbacks. With this in mind, scientists have now developed a silicone heart that beats much like the real thing, something that could provide a safer and more comfortable way to keep the blood pumping. ​

Climbing stairs is a chore that's inspired some creative alternatives. Now a team from Georgia Tech and Emory University has developed energy-recycling stairs that take some of the pressure off the knees and ankles, by storing energy from people descending then giving it back as they climb up.

​Scientists have been experimenting for some years with electroencephalography (EEG) as an interface for mind-controlled devices. Now a group of researchers has developed the Encephalophone, a musical instrument that can be played using the power of your mind.

There’s a mind-boggling amount of data naturally stored in the genome of every organism, with far better density and durability. Now a Harvard team has created a biological hard drive, using the CRISPR gene-editing tool to record information to (and retrieve it from) the genome of living bacteria.

Most people don’t understand sign language, to the frustration of those who rely on it to communicate. Now engineers have developed a prototype called “The Language of Glove,” a Bluetooth-enabled, sensor-packed glove that reads the hand gestures of sign language and translates them into text.

Ravens have something of a famous memory, having shown an ability to recall people who have wronged them in the past. But can they turn their mind to the future? New research suggests that indeed they can, finding that these brainy birds' ability to plan ahead is on par with humans and great apes.
