INNOVATION

Apples get brown because flesh reacts with oxygen due of a certain type of enzyme. Scientists simply deleted the gene that codes for this enzyme.

The spacecraft will be lifted using a Chinook and will then be dropped. The craft will have to find its way back to the runway, gliding without engine assistance.

The low-floor passenger train, dubbed Coradia iLint, will have a maximum range of up to 1,000km and a top speed of 140kmph.

The first configuration of the Space Launch System (SLS) vehicle, called Block 1, will use twin five-segment solid rocket boosters and four RS-25 liquid propellant engines.

Russian and Chinese companies took home top prizes for software that can be used for mass surveillance.

The reflector gives enhanced Wi-Fi control by limiting signals to the desired area and cutting off radio wave transmission to other regions.

Russia's Ministry of Defense has decided to field the Nerekhta, an unmanned light tank that has outperformed manned machines in field trials.

Some major London theatres, Dublin's Aviva Stadium and Bath Rugby's Recreation Ground have already adopted the technology.

Richard Browning has been developing a futuristic space pack that allows him to fly with control and grace a few feet off the ground.

The city of Las Vegas said that the shuttle had been "grazed by a delivery truck" and had done "what it was supposed to do" in the situation.

Darpa's newest drone is made of materials that can melt under heat and sunlight, so it leaves behind only a puddle of material along with its delivery supplies.

Nasa's New Aviation Horizons initiative is working on making commercial aircraft more efficient and less noisy.

"Unless we learn how to prepare for, and avoid, the potential risks, AI could be the worst event in the history of our civilization," Hawking said.

The AFSPC has also been working closely with the NRO to develop a fleet of spacecraft by 2030, which could detect, deter, and if needed even destroy threats in space.

The Prompt Global Strike missile systems carry conventional warheads and can reach speeds of up to mach 10.

According to reports, the weapon will likely be deployed on the planes that are most vulnerable in the modern battlefield.

After the historic flyby of Pluto two years ago, New Horizons is on its way to a large, but rather unimaginatively named, rock called 2014 MU69.

Planet Labs makes use of cubesats to make high-resolution images of the Earth using swarms of satellites that circle the planet every 90 minutes.

Survey published at the CBI conference paints dire picture of trust in corporate leadership.

China's space agency reportedly says that the reusable spacecraft is capable of taking off from a runway and shooting across orbital space.

Nasa and NOAA have found that the hole over the Antarctic ozone layer is at its smallest since 1988, but it is caused by climate and not by reduced depletion.

Amazon has registered three different domain names, all of them related to blockchain and cryptocurrency.

The weapon could replace the Raytheon AIM-120D AMRAAM, which has a range of 100 miles and is equipped with features like GPS guidance, high-angle boresight, and two-way data link.

Enceladus, Saturn's sixth largest moon, is one of the places in the solar system that could potentially harbour life as it holds liquid water, says Nasa.

Hawking has previously cautioned that the rise of powerful AI will be "either the best or the worst thing ever to happen to humanity".

Tech giant is partnering with the largest auto dealership chain in the US in its push to produce self-driving cars for wide use.

If lakes are not "disinfected" by the sun's UV rays, it could lead to an increase in waterborne pathogens, finds a study.

The FAA recently passed stringent restrictions on UAVs, forbidding flights from approaching up to 400 feet within over 100 military bases across US.

Tesla will not be able to produce the new Model 3 electric car as fast as originally promised. Full-scale production not expected now until 2018.
