Jetpack technology is slowly becoming a reality, with one company unveiling what it claims is the world's first hands-free jetpack

A research team has reported a common circuit regulating both innate fear and REM sleep, which has proved this hypothesis.

Like snowflakes, no two branches are alike, yet birds can land on just about any of them. This ability is of great interest to researchers.

The size of a grain of sand, dispersed microfliers could monitor air pollution, airborne disease and environmental contamination.

The jetpack is designed to be operated hands-free, allowing people to make safer flights, and precision landings on structures.

As part of her circumnavigation attempt, Rutherford, 19, will take in 52 countries across five continents over the next three months
