CERN physicists have measured the life of the Higgs boson with greater accuracy than ever before. Since the legendary particle only lives for a few fractions of a second, the scientists came up with a creative workaround to calculate the new figure.

A new meta-study has concluded blood or saliva THC concentrations are not effective ways to measure cannabis-induced driving impairment. The findings indicate impairment tests should be developed instead of looking to develop a marijuana breathalyzer.

Listen to the week's top stories from New Atlas.

Autonomous aerial delivery drones do potentially risk getting caught in branches, losing their way, or falling onto people's heads. That's where the Coco 1 comes in, as it's a ground-based delivery robot that is entirely remotely controlled.

It was back in 2015 that we first heard about the Sno-Go Bike, a three-skied snow "bike" that let its rider carve into turns. Well, it's now in its fourth incarnation, which is claimed to be much lighter, nimbler and more secure than the original.

While manually hoeing weeds out of crops can be very time- and labor-intensive, spraying those crops with herbicides is definitely not eco-friendly. A German consortium is developing a third choice, in the form of the AMU-Bot weed-killing robot.
