Clever space-saving layouts are all well and good, but not everyone wants to climb ladders and crawl into loft bedrooms. The Surya tiny house instead opts for a spacious single-floor interior well-suited to comfortable long-term living.

Taiwan has cut the red ribbon on a giant infrastructure project its own construction team once deemed "impossible:" the 3,000-ft-long, single-tower asymmetric cable-stayed Danjiang Bridge that connects Taipei districts separated by the Tamsui River.

I've always felt like the Kindle could do with a better way to flip ebook pages. DuRoBo might have solved exactly that problem, with a handy multifunction dial on the side of its compact E Ink device.

An equivalent of $40,000 for an electric motorcycle might be stretching it too far for most. But then, we all know there are a select few in the world who would treat it as pocket change. That's perhaps who the Blacksheep One is for.

The venerable Cold War SR-71 Blackbird may be looking nervously at its laurels after Hermeus's latest Quarterhorse Mk 2.1 uncrewed prototype broke the sound barrier at Spaceport America over the White Sands Missile Range airspace in New Mexico in March.

Early in 2025, YSmart embarked on a Kickstarter campaign for a versatile micro-flashlight. Now the company is back with an updated version that's even more compact, and comes with pro-grade LEDs plus three beam options for everyday carry.

No matter what we throw at fire detection, from drones to prediction models and watch towers, predicting when and where blazes will start and travel remains challenging. And not all fires are created equal. What if we could stop them at the source?

A recently published experiment has found that photons traveling through traffic consisting of cold rubidium atoms can leave late and still make it in before the boss decides to dock their pay.

Exactly how birds follow invisible maps around the globe has long eluded scientists – but a a first, scientists have discovered some surprising biological processes taking place inside pigeons that could change how we look at animal navigation.

A recent study by researchers from the US biotech company Tuning Fork suggests that at least some cases of post-viral depression in people recovering from COVID-19 may have measurable biological underpinnings.

It came from the depths. A severed foot that refused to die, regenerating in an act of survival unlike anything we’ve ever seen. It could be a great opening to a horror novel, but this discovery of a “real-life zombie” is no work of fiction.

To assess the plausibility of alien visitors, it’s necessary to understand the obstacles that an extraterrestrial vessel would need to overcome to reach Earth.

Researchers have discovered a new way to potentially treat liver disease. By blocking a key inflammatory pathway it could be possible to reduce liver damage and improve blood vessel function in patients suffering cirrhosis.

MIT spin-off Quaise is still trying to use fusion technology to drill the deepest hole in history and unlock clean, virtually limitless, supercritical geothermal energy. But how does it work? And are they even close to realizing their vision?

Does the brain really produce its own psychedelic “Spirit Molecule” to power our dream states and near-death experiences? A new study has sparked fresh debate over endogenous DMT, and its presence – or absence – in mammalian brains.

For ages, Earth has been known as a blue planet, a vision largely shaped by the vast oceans that cover three-quarters of its surface. But what if this wasn't always the case, and our oceans used to be green?

It was cold – but nowhere near what I expected; I’ve been colder in an outdoor swimming pool in Australia. It's part of a global feedback loop, the scale of which I only began to comprehend when I saw this remarkable continent for myself.

This has to go down as one of the most inventive and ambitious motorcycle designs I've seen in nearly 20 years following two-wheeled innovations. That doesn't mean I'd have the cojones to ride it, especially given its eye-popping steering setup!

Using scented products indoors changes the chemistry of the air, producing as much air pollution as car exhaust does outside, according to a new study. Researchers say that breathing in these nanosized particles could have serious health implications.

Some people can’t get their bad cholesterol levels down, even if they take cholesterol-lowering meds. A clinical trial using a combination of existing and not-yet-released cholesterol tablets lowered bad cholesterol by almost half.
