NEW TECHNOLOGY & SCIENCE NEWS

The 2022 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine has been awarded to geneticist Svante Pääbo for tracing human evolution by constructing the genomes of extinct hominins. Pääbo sequenced the Neanderthal genome and discovered a brand new human relative.

Who wants to be a millionaire? No trivia questions. No lifelines. Simply complete this puzzle and you could be the winner of anywhere from one dollar to a cool million.

In a bid to reduce the environmental burden associated with both the manufacturing and disposal of plastics, scientists have demonstrated a new upcycling technique that turns one common form of it into another.

Italian manufacturer Pinarello has wheeled out what it bills as the first high performance 3D-printed bike and the fastest 3D-printed bike ever built. And we won’t have to wait long to see if those claims check out.

VW and Hobby may be German brands, but it's Scandinavia that provides inspiration for the new Hobby Maxia Van. The camper van design channels the warm, cozy feeling of Scandinavian "hygge" into an interior that feels like a modern tiny home.

Evolution occurs as species adapt to environmental pressures, and few environments exert pressures like the Chernobyl exclusion zone. A new study shows evolution in action as frogs within the radioactive region are turning blacker than those outside.

A newly developed, highly sensitive biosensor likened to a “deep surveillance” system has hinted at more accurate ways to diagnose brain cancer, with an ability to detect and pinpoint the location of tumors from less than a drop of blood.

New modeling from researchers at Curtin University has simulated 300 million years of tectonic plate movement to predict the formation of a supercontinent called Amasia. The modeling estimates the Pacific Ocean closing and America colliding with Asia.

You don't need the full force of the water for every second that you're in the shower, but turning it up and down at the taps can be tricky. That's where the Reva shower head comes in, as it automatically reduces the flow whenever you step back.

Electric vertical take-off and landing (eVTOL) aircraft are one of those things that often get announced, but rarely get past the conceptual stage. According to a new report, though, the X2 eVTOL should make its first public flight later this month.

Last August, Elon Musk announced that Tesla was working on a bipedal humanoid robot that could perform boring and/or dangerous tasks for humans. His company has now unveiled two prototypes, one of which can already walk on its own.

Wisk Aero has bumped up the passenger-carrying capacity of its upcoming air taxi from two to four, and none of those will be a pilot. The company intends to take its 6th-gen autonomous eVTOL to market, and will now be seeking FAA type certification.
