A groundbreaking project has seen hundreds of scientists across the world uncover many mysteries of the evolution of mammals, work that may help us understand why humans are unique and what genetic changes may be key to some of our unique diseases.

Australian researchers have achieved two firsts that will assist in the battle against heart disease: they created a tiny beating heart with its own vascular system and uncovered how the vascular system affects inflammation-driven heart damage.

There are now a number of ebikes equipped with radar systems which warn riders of vehicles approaching from behind. If your bike isn't among those, you can now change that by slapping on Garmin's Varia eRTL615 radar/tail light module.

Recent advances in ePaper technology have allowed for displays to move beyond e-readers and into tablet territory. Onyx International already has a monochrome 13.3-inch slate in its range, and has now added a 10.3-inch color E Ink tablet.

While antibiotic-resistant bacteria are on the rise, you might have thought that the potentially deadly bugs would be found mostly where people and other animals congregate. But researchers have now found them in a most remarkable place.

Even though some conditions cause people to lose their appetite, those folks have to keep eating in order to recover. A new "electroceutical" ingestible capsule could help, by making them feel hungry … and it was inspired by a lizard's skin.

Norwegian shipping company Torghatten AS is due to launch what's billed as the world's first commercial autonomous and electric passenger ferry, which will start making regular trips between islands in central Stockholm, Sweden, later this year.

GAC Advanced Design has imagined a wildly capable autonomous RV concept called Vanlife. The fully autonomous vision is designed to drive over all types of earthen terrain, whisking passengers on an outdoorsy adventure while they sleep soundly inside.

When designing fish-like underwater robots, you want a means of propulsion which is both energy-efficient and reasonably speedy. A new tail-flapping system may fit the bill, paving the way for wider usage of such bots.

Researchers tricked glioblastoma cancer cells in mice into taking up iron-filled carbon nanotubes. They then shredded those cells by spinning the tubes using magnetic force. The technique has the researchers hopeful for a similar result in humans.

Researchers from the University of Wisconsin-Madison have discovered a new species of rhynchosaur, an ancient reptile, in central Wyoming and named it in the language of the First Nations people indigenous to the area where it was found.

Although ebikes are generally thought of as a green form of transportation, most are made of materials with a fairly large carbon footprint. The Multipath is a bit different, in that its frame is made of recycled plastic and alloy.
