Researchers are taking cues from how birds and bees use vision in flight to design future autopilots and drones. SE

How we react to stressful situations may play a key role in our long-term health, according to a recent study of people's emotions and real-life stressors. SE

Researchers in Japan have found that human aging may be able to be delayed or even reversed, at least at the most basic level of human cell lines. In the process, the scientists from the University of Tsukuba also found that regulation of two genes is related to how we age. SE

LCD panels have enabled widescreen TVs thin and light enough to be hung on a wall like a picture. But LG Display has gone one step further, displaying an OLED panel that can be stuck to a wall like wallpaper – assuming you hang your wallpaper with magnets. SE

A new class of magnets discovered by scientists working at the University of Maryland (UMD) change in volume whilst in the process of magnetization. As this is fundamentally different to the phenomenon discovered by Joule some 175 years ago, the new magnets are called "non-Joulian." SE

The same opioid receptors that are activated by painkillers like Vicodin and OxyContin can be activated by light. SE

Research into the underlying causes of a genetic disorder that causes premature aging and death has revealed a key driver of aging in all people. Better yet, this mechanism is reversible – and with it, perhaps, scientists may be able to slow or reverse the aging process. SE

"People seem to have no idea how biased they are," says Carey Morewedge. Experiments suggest intelligence offers no escape from this bias "blind spot." SE

With a little coaching, people were able to obscure real memories, or even create fibs that look like real memories, on fMRI brain scans. SE

A Japanese company has invented a new type of bearing that's up to 90 percent more efficient. Coo Space's greaseless Autonomous Decentralised Bearings eliminate a key component - the cage used to keep the balls separated from one another in the races. SE

Paralyzed from the neck down after suffering a gunshot wound when he was 21, Erik G. Sorto can now move a robotic arm just by thinking about it. SE

A new bladeless wind-driven generator prototype, called the Vortex, is claimed to produce electricity with very few moving parts, on a very small footprint, and in almost complete silence. It's also designed to be very much less aurally and visually intrusive than traditional wind-driven turbines. SE

Brain cells that help us hear are amazingly adaptable, changing shape in noisy environments and switching back when things quiet down. SE

Dubbed the Powerwall, Tesla has unveiled a home stationary battery that offers 10 kWh of storage capacity for the relatively modest price of US$3,500. A smaller unit is also available at 7 kWh for $3,000, and homeowners can stack multiple units if needed. SE
