How do you relocate an entire city block with 100-year-old brick buildings on it so you can build a multi-level subterranean shopping center, parking lot and subway connections underneath? With robots, of course.

An electric motorcycle bearing a Honda badge is bound to attract serious attention – and lately, the rumor mill has been buzzing. Has Honda finally launched its first fully functional electric motorcycle? There’s more to the story than meets the eye.

China is going full Jules Verne as it prepares to go where no drill has gone before. As part of its Deep Ocean Drilling Program, the special-built Meng Xiang (梦想号, "Dream") drill ship is gearing up for a multi-year effort to pierce the Earth's crust.

A fleet of 100 electric driverless coal-mining trucks has been put into operation in Mongolia, coordinated by AI running on a 5G-A network. The project is expected to grow, bringing new safety and efficiency to China's coal-mining industry.

Say what you like about Zaha Hadid Architects' evolution in style since its founder passed, but you can't accuse the studio of being boring. Case in point, the Shenzhen Science & Technology Museum, which is defined by its extraordinary futuristic form.

Last year, BYD sold over 4.2 million cars worldwide, with over 90% of those within China. Now it's setting its sights on luxury German carmakers like BMW and Mercedes with the European launch of its high-end Denza brand.

In the ever-shifting winds of "who-did-it-bigger?," China has just taken a back seat to European wind company Siemens Gamesa. The firm recently planted a colossal, world-record-setting turbine in the Østerild test field in Denmark.

The YongLE Risheng CG is a wind/solar motorcycle that sports a roof covered in 250W solar panels to which a wind turbine is mounted. It's not the most aesthetic design we've seen on a motorcycle, but hey, it works... apparently.

Yangwang, the Chinese carmaker that brought us the [Mach 5 inspired?] jumping/dancing U9 electric hypercar, isn't shy when it comes to boasting about the off-kilter feats its vehicles can deliver. This time it's rooftop Wing Chun on the new U7.

The world’s longest quantum communications link has been set up between China and South Africa, spanning a record-breaking 12,900 km (8,015 miles). The connection takes advantage of quantum physics for “unbreakable” encryption.

If you ever travel back in time to the reign of dinosaurs, don’t touch any flowers – it might just be a parasitic wasp in disguise. Analysis of wasps preserved in amber show how the insect ensnared hosts for its larvae with a Venus flytrap-like butt.

China is back with another engineering marvel. This time, in the form of BYD’s new battery system which is capable of an EV with 250 miles (400 km) of range in just five minutes — roughly the same amount of time as refueling an ICE vehicle.
