The concept combines eye-capturing styling with green engineering While big names like Corvette and NSX hogged the spotlight, one of the most visually attractive vehicles at this year’s Detroit Auto Show came from a name that may be completely unfamiliar to the western autophile. China’s Guangzhou Automobile Group (GAC) had the E-JET concept perched in the hallway of Cobo Hall, providing

A large group of international researchers have just published a scientific article in which they encourage environmental authorities across the globe to rethink the idea of removing oil rigs, wind turbines and other installations in the sea when they are worn out. A submerged camera at an old worn out oil rig shows an extensive

NIH-funded research project develops new method to preserve human livers for transplantation Scientists have greatly extended the amount of time human livers can be stored for transplantation by modifying a previous protocol to extend the viability of rat livers. Previously, human livers were only viable for an average of nine hours, but the new method

An 80 km/l (226 mpg Imperial or 188 U.S. miles/gallon) retro 125cc commuter that’s somewhere between a bicycle and motorcycle   Yamaha’s press conference at the Tokyo Motor Show today was a genuine sign of the times. Four brand new world premiers were shown. The largest internal combustion engine amongst them was a 250cc model

Researchers at Mount Sinai have developed a novel approach to cancer immunotherapy, injecting immune stimulants directly into a tumor to teach the immune system to destroy it and other tumor cells throughout the body. The “in situ vaccination” worked so well in patients with advanced-stage lymphoma that it is also undergoing trials in breast and head

New anode quadruples life of lithium-sulfur battery, could also help store renewable energy more cheaply It’s known that electric vehicles could travel longer distances before needing to charge and more renewable energy could be saved for a rainy day if lithium-sulfur batteries can just overcome a few technical hurdles. Now, a novel design for a

Members of a research collaboration have succeeded in experimentally verifying the properties of crystals of chiral magnetic materials, which may lead to the development of new types of magnetic memories with unprecedented storage capacities. The collaboration “A Consortium to Exploit Spin Chirality in Advanced Materials” was established in 2015 between scientists in several countries including

A team of scientists from Oxford University has shown how the natural movement of bacteria could be harnessed to assemble and power microscopic ‘windfarms’. The study, published in the journal Science Advances, uses computer simulations to demonstrate that the chaotic swarming effect of dense active matter such as bacteria can be organised to turn cylindrical

Image via Wikipedia Several years ago, it seems like just about everyone saw the film Titanic. This past year, it seems the same was true for Avatar. And this past Summer, it seems as if everyone is seeing Inception. All three films share something in common: their use of Autodesk Maya, a piece of visual
