ScienceA tiny artificial tongue which can identify individual whiskies by taste has been invented by a team of Scottish engineers . The device could mean big things for drink makers wanting to ensure a consistent product, and protect their precious brands from counterfeiters at the same time.

ScienceQuantum entanglement, where two objects become intertwined and remain so no matter the distance that grows between them, is a tricky phenomenon to study let alone photograph. But scientists doing the former have now managed the latter, for the first time ever.

A high-tech drill originally slated for use on Mars is heading for Antarctica. The drill is on its way to a British Antarctic Survey research station, where it will be used to drill deep under the ice cap to help gain a better understanding of Earth's climate history.

Scientists have developed a small handheld device that can scan for biomarkers to quickly and easily diagnose people with certain diseases and illnesses. Inspired (as always) by Star Trek’s tricorder, the new “multicorder” is designed to help doctors track illness from just about anywhere.

Thanks to a breakthrough by chemists at the University of Glasgow, the filling station of tomorrow could service electric and hydrogen-fueled cars from the same pump. They've developed a new battery system using nanomolecules that can produce either electricity or hydrogen on demand.
-
A team of engineers has built and test-fired a new style of "autophage" rocket engine that eats its own structure from the bottom up during flight. They believe it could lead to cheaper, more efficient and less wasteful small satellite launches.
-
Scientists are reporting a breakthrough in which they have integrated solar cells into a graphene-based electronic skin, raising the possibility of prosthetic limbs that are both sensitive to touch and entirely self-powered.
-
If you're having trouble shaking your cravings for doughnuts, hamburgers and pizza, the key to curbing them could come from a new appetite-suppressing supplement based on a compound released by gut bacteria.
-
Gravimeters measure tiny changes in the Earth's gravitational fields, and are useful in fields such as oil exploration. Now, using smartphone tech, scientists have made one that's smaller and cheaper than anything that has come before.
-
A team of researchers in the UK has found that a group of drugs currently used to treat conditions such as depression might also prove an effective means of combating emerging viruses.
-
A team of University of Glasgow researchers has worked to improve the imaging provided by swallowable cameras used to detect cancers in the throat and gut. The new video pills are able to emit fluorescent light, allowing the researchers to better analyze the returned imagery.
