Living underwater is seen by some as a futuristic utopia, but what’s it actually like? Rose Eveleth asks a man who eats, works and sleeps on the sea floor – the latest in her new series about the people who have already experienced the future.

There’ll soon be no need to ever take off wearable technology as your body heat will be able to run a generator to keep it powered-up. Thanks to a new invention by scientists in Korea heat that escapes the body can be converted into energy using the generator that can be curved along with the shape of the body.

Graphene may as well be called the most interesting material in the world. It's stronger than a diamond and pretty much anything else known to man. It's an atom thick. It's incredibly conductive and enhances communication. It could potentially replace silicon and ultimately transform electronics...

A team at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Germany, led by materials scientist Jens Bauer, have a new 3D printing material which has...

To ensure safety, modern airliners go through exhaustive testing – from bending the wings at alarming angles to shooting chickens at the cockpit.

Living in the desert is no piece of cake. So to imagine a glittering city in the desert is to imagine something awesome and fantastical--and maybe a touch of crazy. Like architect Stephane Malka's, "The Green Machine," a mobile city on caterpillar treads that farms the desert as it walks. A Walking City is not a new idea. Ron Herron first proposed his utopian-inflected idea of cities that roam the the globe in 1964.

Katie Hall was shocked the second she saw it: a light-bulb glowing in middle of a room with no wires attached.

SpaceX’s reusable booster rocket, the first of its kind, could pave the way for radically cheaper access to space.

It must be fun to invent something. One day it does not exist, and the next day it exists. But how would you feel if you didn't exactly know why your new invention worked? The minds behind this all-new microscopic engine could tell you.

Using precision lasers, a Nanoscribe 3D printer can print models of the Empire State building in a space the width of a human hair...

Most modern electronics, from flatscreen TVs and smartphones to wearable technologies and computer monitors, use tiny light-emitting diodes, or LEDs. These LEDs are based off of semiconductors that emit light with the movement of electrons. As devices get smaller and faster, there is more demand for such semiconductors that are tinier, stronger and more energy efficient.

Bringing together Silicon Valley technology and Napa Valley wine expertise, The Miracle Machine is the world’s first affordable accelerated winemaking device for the home that reproduces great wine with minimal effort and within days.

For something as ubiquitous as the internet today, it certainly isn't easy to find where it all started. I don't mean historically, I mean logistically: 3420 Boelter Hall is a tiny room in a basement hallway of a large nondescript building on the sprawling UCLA campus.

Cheap, abundant solar power from Britain's grey skies? Don't mock, this is one dream that could soon be a reality, writes Mark Miodownik

Combustion engineers mounting a last stand against electric propulsion harbor bizarre fantasies. The gasoline guys dream of the diesel’s potent torque curves and exemplary thermal efficiency. Diesel devotees yearn for cheaper fuel and relief from expensive injection systems and complex emissions controls.

The world's longest aircraft has just been unveiled in Britain's biggest aircraft hangar. At first, you might mistake it for a giant airship - gas-filled balloon on top, pod slung underneath. But the unique, aerodynamic shape of the balloon - it looks as if a series of cigars have been sewn together - means it can also generate lift just like an aeroplane wing.

What would happen if a hurricane were to plough through a wind farm consisting of tens of thousands of individual turbines? A Stanford engineer recently ran a computer simulation to find out — and the results were astonishing.

GitHub is busy working on their new editor named atom. As of now it’s available as part of an invite-only beta program. But the coders were felt GaGa after the beta launch. A text editor specially designed for programmers, project that they have been working for more than six years. Atom is completely open source …

Plotclock is a clock that uses a marker to write the time on a small whiteboard. When the time changes, the clock erases the previous time and writes the current one.
