Using high-powered laser interferometers to determine if space-time is a quantum system made up of countless tiny bits of information, Fermilab scientists are conducting an experiment to see if the universe is "real" or a holographic 3-D illusion.

Researchers from MIT, Carnegie Mellon University and Pennsylvania State University have developed a novel technique of separating cells with the use of a gentle sound wave, with the possibility of the system being used to isolate rare tumor cells synonymous with cancer.

Folding bicycles definitely have an advantage when it comes to easy toting and storage, although their chain presents a design challenge. Bygen has devised a solution, in the form of its Hank Direct Bike. Instead of a chain, it has levers that transfer power from the pedals to the rear wheel.

Designed to scuttle around on distant planets looking for resources and material in much the same way that members of insect colonies do on Earth, groups of NASA robots dubbed 'swarmies' are being designed to survey an area together to break up tasks and act together to find and haul.

As popular and fast-growing a sport as stand-up paddleboarding has been, sometimes you just need to sit down and take a load off. A cross between a kayak and paddleboard, the CruiserBoard is a sit-down, stand-up paddleboard that gives paddlers more versatility than ever.

The HTC Desire 510 is the latest addition to the company’s lineup, and while most of what the device has to offer is in line with what we expect from a low-end smartphone in 2014, there’s one big tick on the spec sheet in the form of LTE connectivity.

Billed as the "world's first unstealable bike," the Yerka Project is the work of three engineering students from Chile who have figured out how to make the lock an integral part of the frame.

Norway's Aalberg Audio has developed a delay pedal named Ekko that's cabled up somewhere between the guitar and amp pretty much like any other floor stomp. Things get interesting when its Aero companion enters the picture, which wirelessly controls the Ekko effects on the fly.

Currently, people with glaucoma must have their internal optic pressure (the pressure within their eye) regularly checked by a specialist. A new implant, however, could make it possible for patients to check their own IOP as often as they like, using their smartphone.
