A Colorado-based designer has developed a unique solution to the dreaded flat tire: airless tires.

Brian Russell created a bicycle tire that wraps rubber around carbon nanotube-reinforced composite rods to provide a cushioned, airless solution. While it's still a prototype, the Energy Return Wheel (ERW) offers a much-needed solution to the inevitable flat.

Thrill-seekers can travel like James Bond -- on a budget -- with the HondaJet from the Honda Aircraft Company.

The HA-420 HondaJet business jet can carry six passengers comfortably, and has a unique engine design that helps reduce drag. The two HF120 turbofan jet engines run over the wing, and can maintain a cruising speed of 483 MPH. Straight out of a flight-simulator fantasy, the cockpit is equipped with a customized Garmin G3000 avionics system.

The $4.5 million price tag is relatively inexpensive considering that a comparable Gulfstream jet sells for $14 million. The HondaJet has passed all necessary tests, and full-scale production is unde…

What's the best part about Halloween? Candy. Sweet, glorious, chocolatey candy. Now imagine Halloween without it.

Like the year before, Jimmy Kimmel encouraged his viewers to upload videos to YouTube of parents admitting to their children that they ate all their candy. And just like the year before, the results were hysterical.

The one difference in this year's submissions was clear near the end of the video and probably the most heartwarming part. But we're not spoilers so you'll have to see for yourself.

A new study by the Pew Research Center has found that though digital technology has reshaped the way students conduct research, it has been harmful in the way students process material and their overall ability to distinguish quality content from unreliable sources.

87% of teachers in the study -- performed in conjunction with the College Board and the National Writing Project -- said technology is creating an "easily distracted generation with short attention spans." And 64% of teachers (from middle and high schools) say today's digital technologies "do more to distract students than to help them academically."

Teachers, though, remained somewhat optimistic about digital…

The Netherlands is hoping to spice up its highways, with a futuristic solution for safer driving conditions and greener technology.

By mid-2013, the country will use photo-luminizing powder to replace road markings and ultimately produce glow-in-the-dark tarmacs, Wired.Co.UK reports.

The powder will charge on sunlight, soaking up enough energy to power 10 hours worth of highway light during nighttime. Special paint will also be used to draw snowflakes across the roads. The snowflakes will only become visible when the temperature dips to a certain point, indicating to commuters that the surface is likely slippery.

Within the next five years, the Netherlands hopes to add intera…
