The traditional cardboard box has been the same for decades. Now these 2 engineers are trying to change that.

American scientists have developed a robotic muscle 1,000 times more powerful than a human’s – using a revolutionary material that fluidly changes its properties.

Bertha, the world's largest tunneling machine, churning through the rock and mud beneath Seattle, has hit a mysterious roadblock—so mysterious, it is only known for now as "the object."

1000 ton bridge over the country's busiest motorway being demolished overnight, a good display of coordinated action where every minute counts and the job has to be completed

Japan is incapable of safely decommissioning the devastated Fukushima nuclear plant alone and must stitch together an international team for the massive undertaking, experts say, but has made only halting progress in that direction.

It's really, really thin. It's tough as lead boots. It's sexy. It's graphene. And, the science world gets all hot and heavy when it is around. Brainiacs just love the super-material.

One of the earliest examples of ingenuity in the Western Hemisphere is composed of gourds and twine.

If we run into a supply crunch, some features of modern life might be in trouble.

A hull longer than the Empire State Building is tall has been floated out of dry dock in Geoje, South Korea. Measuring 488 m (1,601 ft) long and 74 m (243 ft) wide, the hull belongs to Shell's Prelude floating liquefied natural gas (FLNG) facility, which upon completion will be the largest floating facility ever built.

The RCMP have arrested a 53-year-old man on charges of trying to sell classified information in what they call a “threat to Canada.” Police allege Qing Quentin Huang was trying to sell classified information to China involving Canada’s shipbuilding procurement strategy.

Scientists already are working on 3-D printing organs. If we can do that a house should be easy.

Italian designer Gabriele Diamanti (@GabDiamanti) has invented Eliodomestico, an eco-distiller running on solar power, to provide safe drinking-water for people in developing countries. A very simple way to produce healthy, bacteria-free water. Eliodomestico is an open source project.

Shimizu Corporation, a Japanese architecture and engineering firm, has a plan to effectively turn the moon into a giant solar power plant, reports Inhabitat. It proposes building a massive collection of solar panels (a "Luna Ring") 6,800 miles long by 12 miles wide on the moon's surface. That's certainly a heavy-duty construction job for human beings, so Shimizu plans to get the work done with robots, only involving humans in supervisory roles.

The flight techniques of insects have been inspiring the development of autonomous drones for years. And, while the ostrich briefly stepped into the fray with the advent of the OstrichCopter, it looks like jellyfish could be set to inspire a more stable form of flight.

This is a list of inventors whose deaths were in some manner caused by or related to a product, process, procedure, or other innovation that they invented or designed.

Crossrail is not just about engineering: artists, designers and archaeologists are all involved in the £15bn new railway. As the amazing tunnel-boring machines approach halfway, Rowan Moore dons his hard hat and goes below

Graphene's dazzling properties promise a technological revolution, but Europe may have to spend a billion euros to overcome some fundamental problems.

BUDAPEST, Hungary — The future is coming much faster than we think. Technological developments that may seem like science fiction — robots with artificial intelligence or synthetic lifeforms, for example — are just around the corner, if not here already, and set to radically reshape all industries, including fashion. This was the main thrust of a recent conference in Budapest, organised by the Singularity University, a Silicon Valley-based learning institution..
