AeroVelo, a team of engineers and students, kept a human-powered helicopter aloft for more than 1 minute, a feat that snagged a $250,000 cash prize that had eluded competitors for more than three decades. The team won the challenge issued in 1980 by the American Helicopter Society to fly a human-pow...
Researchers at NCSU have developed four techniques to create freestanding structures from liquid metal using 3D printers. One technique involves stacking droplets on top of one another. The droplets adhere to each other because of surface tension, but that same surface tension prevents them from mer...
NASA is gearing up for a 2020 Mars rover mission designed to search for signs of past life, according to a 154-page report released Tuesday.

I just watched a presentation by the National Association of Attorneys General, and these top law enforcers painted Google as a criminal organization with so much power that it has unusual influence over the federal government. "Intellectual Property Crimes Online: Dangerous Access to Prescription D...
The United States' Voyager 1 spacecraft is close to becoming the first human-made object to travel between the stars. The spacecraft, which is now more than 11 billion miles from the sun, has entered the so-called "magnetic highway," showing scientists two of the three signs they believe will confir...
It was once virtually unthinkable for a company to operate on a global scale, but if a recent move by PayPal is any indication, this small planet of ours may soon be just the beginning. In fact, PayPal on Thursday announced the launch of PayPal Galactic, an initiative that's designed to address the ...
