Why are all these world records for quantum teleportation so important?
Businesses are adapting their R&D spending to the idea that innovation can come from anywhere.
A prototype NASA lander completed a successful free flight on Sept. 5, helping to bring a new generation of landing vehicles closer to reality.
We’ve seen schemes for remotely-controlled cyborg insects before, including at least one DIY kit for building your own robotically-enhanced cockroach, but researchers at NC State are really moving this discipline forward (literally).

When the late Neil Armstrong and the crew of Apollo 11 went to the Moon, they did so sitting atop a rocket the size of a skyscraper that blasted out jets of smoke and flame as it hurtled skyward.
A Japanese paper-modelling enthusiast has constructed a bipedal “robot” dubbed the “Paper Robot III” (or PR-III).
When we first took a look at the Gnarboards Trail Rider electric skateboard a couple of months ago, we likened it to a “Ferrari for your feet” due to it boasting a power-to-weight ratio that would put many cars to shame.
We've seen hydrogels--the squishy material of the future--do some neat tricks before.
Records are made to be broken, and a bunch of students at the University of Maryland are smashing the ones they just set earlier this summer.
The Forest Products Laboratory of the US Forest Service has opened a US$1.7 million pilot plant for the production of cellulose nanocrystals (CNC) from wood by-products materials such as wood chips and sawdust.
Graphene, a single layer of the common graphite, is a largely overlooked allotrope of carbon as compared to the more popular ‘eternal’ diamonds
The roundest, most symmetrical large molecule found so far, buckminsterfullerene, continues to astonish with one amazing property after another.
The new device could transmit a user-specific ID through the skin.
Move over Wi-Fi, there’s a new wireless technology coming.
Students at University of Maryland are using pedal power to break a human-powered helicopter record (but hopefully to break nothing else).
This program reveals the discoveries of a forgotten genius, many of which went virtually unnoticed for nearly a century.
When impoverished inventor Nikola Tesla died in New York City, the U.S. government confiscated his notes.
