It’s the afternoon rush hour just outside central London and the traffic is nose to tail. Drivers here have come to expect the sight of taillights as far as they can see. One section of road, a stretch of the A3 close to Heathrow Airport, has been named Britain’s most congested road and has holdups totaling 91 hours during the afternoon rush each year.
The New York City-based digital health startup accelerator StartUp Health has added six new companies, bringing its portfolio size to 90 companies.

In a world where we can order almost anything online, finding wall art for the home can actually be an overwhelming process online. There are just so many options, from traditional retailers to Art.com to sites that let you print out your Instagrams. But when it comes to digital art, there really hasn’t been a single marketplace for artists and buyers to put everything in one place.
The factory floor at Pittsburgh’s Aquion Energy doesn’t look much like the steel mills that once populated this Rust Belt city. Retooled industrial-age machinery sits alongside robotic-manufacturing equipment. Science and engineering professionals work closely with experienced technicians to produce next-generation batteries, not forged metal.
Health care is just now starting to effectively use information from the human genome to diagnose and treat disease. Nowhere is this more crucial than in the treatment of cancer, from which 7.6 million people in the U.S. die each year, and for which we spend $87 billion a year on treatment.
One of the reasons cancer is so difficult to treat is that current testing methods often don’t help doctors match specific cancers with effective drug treatments. And it’s a moving target — cancer cells are constantly changing, mutating.

Nusa Urbancic is energy programme manager of Transport and Environment, which campaigns for greener transport in Europe.
An exotic but tricky-to-use new form of silicon is being eyed as a way to build much faster computer chips. And now, those who see its potential can claim a minor victory by making the first transistors out of the stuff.
The material in question, called silicene, comes in layers of silicon just one-atom thick. This structure gives the material fantastic electrical properties, but it also means it’s devilishly tricky to produce and work with. Even testing its basic properties in the lab has proved difficult.
A new kind of lithium-ion battery could let portable electronics such as smartphones and smart watches last twice as long between charges.
The battery was developed by SolidEnergy, a company spun out of MIT in 2012. The secret to boosting energy storage lies in swapping the conventional electrode material—graphite—for a thin sheet of lithium-metal foil, which can store more lithium ions.
