Linthal 2015 is one of the most fascinating power projects going on in the world right now. When finished, this 2.35-billion-dollar pumped storage system will be able to generate as much power as a nuclear power plant—1,480 MW. The only problem is that there are no roads connecting the construction sites, so they have to lift all heavy machinery using a ropeway.

Forget an Apple iWatch, the U.S. military is the one really taking wearable technology to new levels. Different divisions of the U.S. armed forces, as well as other government agencies such as Darpa, are all working on developing high-tech armor that will help not only provide soldiers with full-body ballistic protection, but will also give them superhuman-like capabilities.

An introduction to the wonderful world of Graphene.

Current aircraft wing parts are only optimized for some conditions. Can more natural designs improve efficiency and reduce noise pollution?

Nearly eight years ago, DARPA, the US Defense Department's advanced research agency, set out to find a better solution for amputees than the metal hooks still widely used today. Now, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has granted its approval to one of the projects that came from that effort: a mind-controlled prosthetic limb called the DEKA Arm.

How to Build a Time Machine is a documentary about two men on separate quests to build their own time machines.

China is considering plans to build a high-speed railway line to the US, the country's official media reported on Thursday. The proposed line would begin in north-east China and run up through Siberia, pass through a tunnel underneath the Pacific Ocean then cut through Alaska and Canada to reach the continental US, according to a report in the state-run Beijing Times newspaper.

Find how how crazy the Lamborghini Sesto Elemento is. This car will truly blow your mind!!!.

An Italian computer engineer has solved a 150-year-old literary mystery found in a rare edition of Homer’s Odyssey at the University of Chicago Library. The 1504 Venetian edition contains handwritten annotations in a previously unknown script.

Airbus successfully tested a prototype electric plane, dubbed the E-Fan, in Bordeaux, France, Friday. Airbus Group says that the plane, which runs on lithium-ion polymer batteries, is best suited for short missions and pilot training.

A Canadian mining company has finalised an agreement with Papua New Guinea to start digging up an area of seabed.

Engineers from the Korean Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a system that can power devices up to five metres away.

Researchers create transparent solar cells that could be used to replace windows and power homes in the future.

What's the safest place to put a nuclear reactor? Offshore, apparently. A new power plant design concept from MIT envisions a facility built on floating platforms, moored in deep water several miles off the coast. This, the concept's creators explain, lends it several crucial advantages -- making it virtually immune to earthquakes, tsunamis and meltdowns.

When we play blocks, we play BIG. "Stack" pits five Cat machines, including Excavators and Telehandlers, against a mountain of massive wood blocks. The object of the game is for heavy equipment operators to remove and then reposition a stack of 27 blocks one at a time, without toppling the structure - using only their Cat® machines and attachments.

James Dyson invented the best vacuum cleaners. Now, with the M.V. Recyclone barge, he's applying the same ideas to sucking up plastic pollution from the world's rivers. We talked to him about his plans.

The political crisis in Ukraine is severely hampering efforts to build a new radioactive containment structure over the site of the Chernobyl nuclear meltdown.

Most loudspeakers work using a diaphragm that creates pressure waves in air by mechanically vibrating. “For human audibility, an ideal speaker or earphone should generate a constant sound pressure level from 20 Hz to 20 kHz, ie it should have a flat frequency response,” say Qin Zhou and Alex Zettl who are both at the University of California, Berkeley.
