Heat loss is wasted energy. If we're to successfully create smaller, more efficient technology, then the thermal energy that our gadgets waste needs to be put to better use. This new device, which works at the nanoscale where the theoretical "blackbody limit" falls apart, could be the answer.

Researchers at MIT have identified a surprising new dynamic drug duo to fight cancer, combining two classes that are already beginning to be widely used. Interestingly, the combo appears to work in a completely different way to what scientists previously expected.

Hymer's Ducato-based Free camper van is already a standout, an adventurous van with flip-away rear bed, vibrant graphics and sleeping space for two singles or a family of four. Hymer now brings that same level of fun and flexibility to a more premium camper, launching a Free on a Mercedes Sprinter.

CAR-T cell therapy involves reprogramming T-cells to hunt down cancer, which has been effective against blood cancers but not so much against solid tumors. Now, scientists at MIT have found a way to supercharge the technique with a vaccine booster.

The Apple-1, launched in July 1976, was the computer that helped propel a two-man business operating from a suburban garage into the world's most valuable company a short 35 years later. This month one of the few remaining Apple-1 operating manuals hits the auction block in Boston.

The Sigma fp is billed as the world’s smallest and lightest full-frame mirrorless camera, and with a body length of 11 cm (4.3 in) could be slipped into a pocket without too much trouble at all.

Benchmark Vehicles has caught our eye more than once at the likes of Overland Expo. One of its conversions that pops out immediately is the Swiss Army Sprinter, an aggressive adventure rig that's nearly as versatile as its namesake thanks to floor rails, five-person seating and large slides in back.

It looks like a fitness tracker, acts like a smartwatch, yet has has no buttons or screen. It also plays audio when you touch your finger to your ear and is gesture and voice-controlled. It's called Get and its creators think it could change the way we connect with each other and our information.

Researchers at the Salk Institute are approaching gene-editing technology with some very big-picture thinking, looking to tweak the genes of humankind’s most commonly sown crops so they store more carbon dioxide underground as a way of fighting climate change

Physicists at Stanford and the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have narrowed down the search for dark matter. Using observations of galaxies orbiting the Milky Way, the team found that dark matter is likely lighter than previously thought – and interacts even less with normal matter.

Quads are great for traversing rough terrain, while golf carts are well-suited to short low-speed jaunts. So, what happens if you want a vehicle with the qualities of both? Well, that's where the Ripper ATV is designed to come in.

Yamaha has given its flagship YZF-R1 superbike a significant update for 2020, with an ever so slightly new look, a new Euro V-compliant and more efficient engine, and some updates to the electronics and chassis. Naturally, there's also an extra-fancy R1M with all the carbon and Ohlins you can eat.
