An MIT aeronautics team revealed this design for a new generation of airplanes that would be quieter and up to 70% more fuel-efficient than the ones we fly in now. The research was funded by a $2.1 million NASA program — called N+3 — aimed at developing more eco-friendly, high-performance planes over the next 25 years. The engineers conceived of the D series by reconfiguring the tube-and-wing... 

Anthony Le, 25, has been a fan of Iron Man since he was a kid, but when he heard that the comic-book superhero was hitting the big screen in 2008, he was inspired to build his own Iron Man suit. That version was more of a costume, but his new one, finished just in time for the movie’s sequel, edges much closer to the real thing. With its dent-proof exterior, motorized faceplate and spinning mock... 

As any astute computer owner would know, particularly those who are of the gamer variety, there are many possible bottlenecks when it comes to getting the most out of your computer hardware. Video cards, random access memory (RAM) and hard drives are but a few of the main hurdles to super-efficient computer performance. Now, according to Engadget, Intel is looking to ditch the copper cables of old... 

Machines have really changed our lives to great extent.  Work that took days is now done in hours or may be minutes.  As the size of the job increased so did the size of machines. Today we rounded up top 10 mega machines. 10. E-126-type wind turbines In modern era optimization of energy is one of the most important issue. Well if its electrical energy then install one of these E-126 wind turbines... 

Mechanisms are used to convert between one type of motion and another. Any machine can be looked on as a group of interconnected mechanisms which convert one type of motion to a variety of other motions. These changes may be to convert rotary motion to straight line motion or to convert reciprocal (back and forth) motion to intermittent motion. They may also transform a fixed type of motion, for example... 

The FanWing experimental aircraft opens up a new area of aerodynamics Various designs to establish a means of integral lift and thrust using a horizontal-axis wing rotor are recorded back as far as the late 19th century. Some of the experiments started to take off but did not sustain flight. The FanWing series of prototype models in a patented blown-wing solution offers both basic proof of concept... 

Tall buildings and skyscrapers are now becoming the identity of cities and even countries. The urge to build tall buildings have been there for quite some time but in the last century the sheer height of buildings have been taken to a new level. Here are the top 10 tallest buildings of our modern world 10.Jin Mao Tower The landmark supertall skyscarper is situated in Pudong, Shanghai, China.... 

The world’s smallest one-man helicopter – GEN H-4($58,250). It is only 75-kilogram (165-pound). The GEN H-4 has a set of two rotors turning in opposite directions and can fly at a maximum speed of 50 kilometres (31 miles) per hour. According to the 75-year-old Yanagisawa, Since the concept of our helicopter came from Italy, I always wanted to take a flight in the birthplace of da Vinci,... 

Sometimes even the best can fail and at the most inappropriate of times, leaving you stunned and confounded; Zidane’s legendary headbutt in the 2006 world cup surprised even the casual fan. Technology isn’t invincible either; it can leave Bill Gates speechless in face of a blue screen of death in Windows 98 in front of hundreds. Today we take a look at 10 worst technological failures that left... 

A hypernova explosion, the possible source of powerful gamma-ray bursts, is about 100 times more energetic than a supernova explosion and is thus the most energetic event known in the Universe other than the Big Bang. Many astronomers today believe that one of the most plausible reasons we have yet to detect intelligent life in the universe is due to the deadly effects of local supernova explosions...
