Handcrafted Movement clearly put a lot of time and effort trying to give the Urban Craftsman the kind of high-end finish you don't typically see in a tiny house. Featuring a focus on high quality materials and craftsmanship, it's currently up for sale for US$72,000. Read more
Throwing some of your hard-earned dosh at projects on crowdfunding platforms is a bit of a gamble. Even successful campaigns can fail to deliver. Sometimes though, an idea makes it into production. Here are a few music-making project success stories. Read more
A British wingsuit jumper is planning an assault on no less than four of the biggest world records in the sport. Jumping from a height over 40,000 feet, he aims to break the distance record of 19-odd miles, the top speed record of more than 250mph and the duration record of 9 minutes. Read more
Scientists have long known that DNA segments called telomeres play a crucial part in aging, but new research has discovered a protein that acts as a kind of cellular timekeeper, regulating the length of telomeres to maintain healthy cell division and prevent the development of cancer. Read more
Researchers at BAE Systems believe that a new type of atmosphere-altering directed energy laser and lens system that may make laser defense shields a real possibility in as little as fifty years from now Read more
Authenticity, rarity and provenance are all key variables in the value equation at collectible car auctions and celebrity cars represent one of the few sub-sets which can provide all three. Another fine crop of the star cars will go to auction this week. Here's our guide to what's available. Read more
Computer data commutes from the system memory to the processor, but now researchers have found a way to help that data effectively work from home. The team is developing chips that can process information where it’s stored, potentially allowing for faster, smaller and more efficient devices. Read more
Captain Eugene "Gene" Cernan, the last man to leave the Moon, has passed away at the age of 82. A holder of multiple space records, Cernan was Commander of the Apollo 17 mission in 1972 and one of only 12 astronauts to walk on Moon. Read more
Scientists have developed an artificial intelligence system that can analyze the medical test results of patients with a heart disorder and accurately predict their lifespan over the following years. Read more
Forget brain surgery, complicated training programs and insurance legalese. Robotics startup Aubot has skipped past all these complications to launch the world’s first commercially available mind-controlled telepresence robot. Read more
Imagine you're rushing through a burning building that's filled with smoke. It would be easy to get turned around, not knowing which way to go in order to get back out. That's a real risk faced by firefighters on a regular basis, and it's why Capt. Jeff Dykes created the Northern Star. Read more
It may be nice to have a car that's well-insulated against traffic noise, but it can be detrimental when it comes to hearing sirens. Fortunately, however, researchers have developed a system in which drivers' stereos actually alert them to the presence of approaching ambulances. Read more
Stanford scientists have found that by building a flame retardant into a battery that releases itself when things start to heat up, they can avert the dangers of flammable lithium-ion batteries in the laboratory. Read more
Normally you’d keep your controllers as far from water as possible, but Microsoft has unveiled one for the pool. While people in the Northern Hemisphere are more likely to snuggle up with the Xbox Onesie for now, Australian gamers can now play at the beach with the Inflatable Xbox One S Controller. Read more
