Mummification is usually associated with the age of Pharaohs, but it didn't spring up overnight. Now an international team has found further evidence that deliberate mummification was taking place a millennium and a half earlier and across a much wider area of Egypt than previously believed.

​Suspended tents are one of the big trends to sweep through the camping scene lately. The Bivymok is a new two-part option for those fed up with ground-based sleeping, consisting of a single-pole tent and a tree-suspended hammock platform built to hold some seriously heavy loads.

An astronaut aboard the International Space Station (ISS) took a stroll around the Earth by proxy, thanks to a new robotics system. ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst on the station took remote command of the humanoid robot Rollin' Justin for a two-hour test.

Teardrops are already among the most compact ways of vehicle camping, and Timberleaf is taking them even smaller with its all-new Pika. The pint-sized teardrop sizes in 1/3 smaller than its standard teardrop model and puts solid walls around you and a clear view of the stars overhead.

Knaus will show the latest fruits of its innovative camper van thinking at the 2018 Düsseldorf Caravan Salon, fruits that will include two all-new concept vans that show the path for a sportier, more aggressive future. Knaus has taken camper vans full-on "fast and furious."

​The smartphone has become a very convenient, almost essential travel companion, but there are a few minor headaches that go with it. The T'spin is a clever and compact multitool designed to solve handset-related hassles, with a few extra functions packed in for good measure.

​A new study from UC Berkeley investigated the relationship between poor sleep and loneliness finding people tend to withdraw and avoid social interaction after even a single night’s disrupted sleep, and what's more, those feelings could be contagious.

​As more and more products are manufactured via 3D printing, the potential for 3D-printed counterfeit versions rises accordingly. With that in mind, scientists have devised a method of ensuring that a printed item is the real thing, by building an "exploded" QR code into it.

We've heard about "solar-powered" quadcopters before, in which their battery is charged by photovoltaic panels. Now, however, engineering students have built a copter that draws its power directly from onboard solar cells, apparently allowing it to stay airborne as long as the sun is shining.

Sony was the first to market with an OLED TV in 2007, but it was a decade before its second OLED model, the A1E. Sony followed the success of that model with the A8F (AF8 in Europe), and New Atlas has spent a few weeks basking in its impressive glow (and even more impressive blacks).

The further back in time you go, the patchier our understanding of life on Earth gets. Now, British scientists have used a different method known as a molecular clock to plot out a rough timeline of all life on Earth, tracing the first organisms back to about 4.5 billion years ago.

Numerous biomarkers are being discovered signaling the presence of different cancers, but it’s a challenge to find a single way to track all kinds of cancer. Researchers may have a solution, discovering a protein produced by malaria parasites that is perfectly engineered to detect most cancer cells.
