One of the reasons Google and VMware have been so successful over the past decade, says Eric Brewer, is that both companies managed to snatch some of the world’s brightest engineers from the big-name research labs that petered out in the late 1990s.
The science of calorie restriction just got a lot more complicated.
Facit Homes claims to be the first company in the world to digitally fabricate a bespoke home on-site.
The claim that 3D printing is the next trillion dollar industry is backed up by the results of last month's Formula Student 2012, the annual event that challenges engineering students to build and race single-seat cars.
There's only one it's-the-future-why-don't-we-have-x trope that rivals the flying car, and that's the space elevator. (First proposed in 1895, it might even predate it.) The idea of a giant tower that can carry us from Earth to outer space is legend,
Or a single virus, or a single protein
The PlasmERG noble gas motor is not, just as the original Papp engine was not, a 'pulsed plasma motor'. Plasma is not retained and 'pulsed'. The plasma is recreated with each power stroke and returns to a steady state, a gas, on each return stroke, t
A new pill to treat HIV infection — combining two previously approved drugs plus two new ones — has been approved for adults living with the virus that causes AIDS, US regulators said Monday.
Modelling pills as if they were cellular automaton could change the way tablets are designed and made
Nanoelectronic scaffolding supports living tissue
People often find robots baffling and even frightening. Leila Takayama has found ways to smooth out their rough edges. Through numerous studies and experiments that look at how people react to every aspect of robots, from their height to their postur
Though 12 men have walked on the moon, only one could be the first. When Neil Armstrong, who died Aug. 25, touched down in 1969 on the lunar surface, he and fellow astronaut Buzz Aldrin made history and photographed their landing site in detail.
World news is thick with stories about flying drones spying on an unsuspecting public. These are largely reports of military or law enforcement drones flying over the Middle East, Africa and the Southwestern United States.
It’s one of the most memorable scenes in science fiction: a 3-D, holographic Princess Leia, begging for Obi-Wan’s help. America’s spy services have just plunked down $58 million to make it real.
Stuff goes missing. Maybe you misplaced something, or maybe one of the uninvited guests at your last shindig is “borrowing” it. Regardless, now you need it, and you can’t find it.
Printing physical objects from data is about to transform our world. As told by Hugh Evans
Our coverage of the first man on the moon
A new material developed at Harvard and MIT adds a distinctly cybernetic element to the science of tissue engineering. The 3-D mesh of transistors and cells, which can support tissue growth while monitoring its health and progress
“The smartphone in your pocket has more computing power than the spacecraft that took the Apollo 11 astronauts to the moon,” says anyone trying to impress anyone else with the massive scaling of computing power over the last few decades.

Neutron generators provide materials analysis and non-destructive testing tools to many industries, including oilfield operations, heavy mechanical production, art conservancy, detective work, and medicine.
Today, countless websites are facing the epic amounts of online data that first hit Facebook a half decade ago. But according to Facebook engineering bigwig Jay Parikh, these sites have it so much easier.
Inspired by maverick genius Nikola Tesla, Wil Cashen invented an electric pickup truck. Now the Los Angeles-based engineer and entrepreneur wants to pay homage to his role model by making a docudrama about the eccentric Serbian-American inventor.
Neil Armstrong — who has died at the age of 82 — was best known as the commander of Apollo 11, but his career at NASA began nearly a decade earlier as a research test pilot.
Christopher Nolan’s 2010 blockbuster Inception is set in a distant future where military technology enables one to infiltrate and surreptitiously alter other people’s dreams.

A startup prepares to manufacture electronics that conform to skin, arteries, and organs, allowing new surgical and measuring methods.
Plastic or silk threads covered with temperature sensors and micro-heaters could keep tabs on infections and provide therapy.
Surgeons have transplanted a second dose of neural cells into a patient's spinal cord in a pioneering trial.
LG Chem's flexible, knottable batteries could be integrated into textiles and headphone cords.
