Coasting down from your apartment on your personal bike ramp will be so fun.

The more that bike lanes multiply in cities, from New York to São Paulo, the more people ride. Over the past decade, bike commuting in the U.S. has grown 62%. But it's still a tiny fraction of overall transportation.

In Sweden, new buses hosted a series of acoustic performances to demonstrate their quiet ride through a noisy city. The bus is part of a larger project called ElectriCity, where Volvo is working with universities, urban planners, and transport agencies to test and evaluate new, more sustainable public transportation. That includes rethinking how the city might be redesigned to accommodate it.

DC Water leverages technology first in North America to generate clean, renewable energy from wastewater.

At a press event today, Tesla announced the releaseof version 7.0 of the Model S software, a big, widely anticipated new build that finally enables the car's self-driving features. Those capabilities were first announced last year and the necessary sensors were added to all Model S cars that have rolled off the assembly line since last September, but Tesla has needed additional time to flesh out the algorithms, which it has been testing this year.

The Mission E might not top the Tesla in driving distance after all. The Porsche's nearly 311-mile range is on the European testing cycle, but the original story compares it to Teslas on the US evaluation. According to Tesla, a Model S 85D is rated at the equivalent of 328 miles in Europe, and the P85D is at 305 miles. The new 90 kWh battery can add an additional six percent to those figures

Earlier this year, at the AMC Engineering Conference in Waterloo, Iowa, Jeremy Leifker, manager of product strategy and marketing with John Deere’s Intelligent Solutions Group, gave a presentation called “Digitalization —The Next Level of Corn and Soybean Production.”

Dubai’s beaches have smartphone addicts and gadget lovers covered with new state-of-the-art trees that allow visitors to have Wi-Fi access and the capability to charge their smartphones. The so-called “smart palm trees” are installed in the beaches of Dubai, where they harness solar power during the day so they can offer Wi-Fi and power to beach goers during the evening. The Smart Palm project is an iconic fusion of easy access to information, accessible WiFi and green technology.

This startup is building programmable Lego-like bricks that teach kids how algorithms and code work. It is launching today on stage at Disrupt, and on Kickstarter.

Vancouver airport officials are warning the public about using drones in restricted airspace after one was spotted flying near YVR’s north runway late Sunday afternoon.

Officers searched for the person flying it, but were unable to identify who was responsible.

The end of heavy metal: Boeing shows off material that is 99.99% AIR and could lead to new generation of planes and spaceships.

- Microlattice was inspired by the structure of human bones - Made up of interconnected hollow tube - Each tube has a wall 1,000 times thinner than a human hair - Egg wrapped in the material would survive a 25 story drop 

The Mirror reports that the plane would be able to travel at Mach 4.5, meaning it would be possible to travel close to 6000 kilometres in just over an hour.

Sparen, sparen, sparen – das ist das Motto von Airlines aus aller Welt. Und auch wenn Treibstoff gerade günstiger ist, wollen viele Fluglinien beim Gewicht der Flieger ansetzen. Denn ein leichteres Flugzeug bedeutet nicht nur weniger Treibstoffverbrauch, sondern auch, dass man mehr Passagiere mitnehmen kann.

Less Friction, Less Weight, More Thermal Efficiency.

We saw the spy shots, we saw the car in person, but now is when we finally start to get some actual details about what's going on under the hood of the new 2016 Toyota Prius.

Forget moving like Jagger. The key to unlocking your inner genius is to think like da Vinci. Easy, right? Here are seven principles to help.

Leonardo da Vinci was arguably the greatest thinker of all times—genius demonstrated on so many levels, with an astounding number of inventions and innovative concepts credited to him. So what better way to think like a genius than to think like da Vinci?

Automotive manufacturers have been experimenting with 3D printing for some time now. Some manufacturers see the technology as a way to customize vehicles, while others are building 3D printed car bodies. It certainly seems as though additive manufacturing (AM) could be the next big thing in car manufacturing.

Hören wir das Stichwort virtuelle Realität ist unser erster Gedanke Flucht: Flucht aus dem grauen Alltag, hin zu einem Strand in der Sonne oder in eine umfangreiche Spielewelt. Doch VR-Brillen können auch therapeutisch wirken und einen medizinischen Nutzen haben, behaupten Wissenschaftler aus den USA.

GLOBAL - World prices for food will remain flat or could fall over the next 10 years because of the current growth in agricultural production. The World Trade Organisation Public Forum, Trade Works, heard last week (30 September – 2 October) that agricultural production has been growing, particularly in Africa, affecting the movement of food Prices.

When Megan Thompson was just over 30 weeks pregnant with her son Conan, doctors noticed a large mass on his face during an ultrasound that they couldn't identify. Fearing the mass may be cancerous, doctors didn't know if it would block the baby's airways and whether they would need to perform a set of complex procedures in order for him to be able to breathe during delivery.

Learn how Israel is revolutionizing large-scale 3D printing, in technology that may one day rapidly print airplane parts.

The field of 3D printing has taken the world by storm but is still relatively new, and perhaps unsurprisingly Israelis are leading the way in pioneering the future of this exciting Technology.

Zwei unkonventionelle ETH-Professoren. Sie erforschen die Armenviertel der Welt und finden dort kreative Kräfte. Alfredo Brillembourg und Hubert Klumpner sind keine klassischen Architekten.

In einem japanischen Einkaufszentrum drangsalieren Kinder einen Roboter. Was sagt das über das Verhältnis zwischen Mensch und Maschine? Kinder lieben Roboter. Jedenfalls kann sich dieses Eindrucks kaum jemand erwehren, der einmal einer Begegnung zwischen Menschenkind und Maschinenwesen beiwohnen durfte. Und es ist ja auch keine Überraschung, reagieren Kinder doch ähnlich auf an sich unbelebte, aber mit menschlichen Zügen ausgestattete Puppen und Plüschtiere.

For just the third time on record, scientists say they are now watching the unfolding of a massive worldwide coral bleaching event, spanning the globe from Hawaii to the Indian Ocean. And they fear that thanks to warm sea temperatures, the ultimate result could be the loss of more than 12,000 square kilometers, or over 4,500 square miles, of coral this year — with particularly strong impacts in Hawaii and other U.S. tropical regions, and potentially continuing into 2016.

Schon seit einigen Jahren arbeiten verschiedene Firmen mit Hochdruck daran, Privatpersonen mit Spezialflugzeugen ins All zu fliegen. Zwei Unternehmen wollen nun die Raumfahrt revolutionieren und Touristen mit Heliumballons in den Orbit befördern - für schlappe 75.000 Dollar.
