A Spanish start-up called Proton New Energy Future has unveiled Ebörd, a smart table that has a wireless charger built into the entire surface, allowing it to charge multiple devices at once. Better yet, it harvests energy from the Sun or even artificial light.

Thirty years ago a molecule with incredible anti-cancer properties was discovered. But it was so structurally complex scientists were unable to synthesize it in large quantities. Now a team has made a breakthrough, achieving total synthesis of volumes large enough to proceed to clinical trials.

​"Gravel bikes" are becoming increasingly popular, as they combine the toughness of mountain bikes with the speed of road bikes. Given that they travel on dirt trails and unpaved roads, though, some suspension might be good – and that's what Cannondale's Topstone Carbon offers, in a novel fashion.

A completely new category of microscopy has been invented by researchers in the US. Dubbed DNA microscopy, the technique tags RNA molecules with a range of DNA "barcodes" which in turn flag the identity and location of the molecules, even when they're stacked on top of each other.

Over the years, we've seen many variations of the in-vehicle camper box from around Europe. The German-designed ElloBox is the latest. This slim camper box packs solar-fed power, pressurized water, electric refrigeration and gas cooking, turning small cars into RVs.

Instead of separate black and white keys, the whole spongy surface of the Seaboard Grand was offered up as the playing area. Now Roli has come about face with the Lumi learning platform, with solid keys that light up to teach the next Jordan Rudess how to play.​

​Narwhals and belugas are the only two toothed whales native to the Arctic, and they're often seen in one another's company. You've therefore gotta wonder – could they interbreed? Danish scientists now say the answer is yes, and they've got a hybrid "Narluga" skull to prove it.

Scientists at Linköping University have developed an artificial muscle that runs off of glucose and oxygen like its organic counterpart. Made of a special polymer, the new plastic muscles open the promise of implantable artificial muscles that can be powered by like living organs.

​​The Lez river in Montpellier has welcomed a striking new structure to its shores. The L'Arbre Blanc towers 17 stories over its surroundings in the southern French city, offering an abundance of apartment space on the inside and some particularly eye-catching features on the outside. ​

Best known as Pink Floyd's guitar virtuoso, Dave Gilmour auctioned his guitar collection and gave the proceeds to a good cause. Gilmour's immense contribution to combating climate change, resulted in numerous smashed auction records along the way.

A new study upends conventional thinking about the origins of Parkinson’s disease. The research reveals distinct changes in the brain’s serotonin system can be identified up to 20 years before any Parkinson’s symptoms appear, suggesting a new biomarker to detect the disease at its earliest stages.

A study has found increased volumes of a certain species of gut bacteria in marathon runners following the completion of an event. This species was found to metabolize exercise-induced lactate into propionate, a compound that may increase exercise capacity.
