The fuel efficiency of pickup trucks has improved significantly over the past decade. We drove the 2020 Ram 1500 in both of its higher-efficiency powertrain options – the eTorque mild hybrid and the EcoDiesel turbodiesel – to see how they stack up.

The final test prototype of Mitsubishi Aircraft Corporation's SpaceJet M90, in its certifiable baseline configuration, has made its maiden flight. It flew for two hours over the Pacific Ocean for basic performance tests before returning to base.

While there are now a number of kits for electrifying non-electric bikes, most of them place a motor against or within one of the wheels. The Lightest is different, in that it keeps the weight low and central by sitting against the bottom bracket.

Most fossils are just bones, but occasionally striking specimens turn up bearing skin or feathers, encased in gemstones, and even preserving traces of DNA against all odds. Here's a look at some of the most incredible fossil finds of recent years.

Triglycerides are a form of fat that circulates through the bloodstream, and high levels can lead to obesity and related illnesses. Now, researchers have found a way to efficiently produce a protein that clears these fats from the bloodstream.

One consequence of cancer and other diseases spreading throughout the body can be the hardening of the extracellular matrix surrounding cells. Scientists have now developed a new way to non-destructively detect such changes using sound waves.

Nobody's impressed with your off-the-rack Lamborghini Aventador SVJ. Anyone can buy one of those, but only three people can buy the Mansory Cabrera conversion, which adds power, downforce and an extra dollop of special in your sauce.

Computers still pale in comparison to nature’s version – the brain. Now Intel has unveiled its most powerful “neuromorphic” computing system. Named Pohoiki Springs, it packs in 100 million neurons, putting it on par with the brain of a small mammal.

It looks fresh outta Woodstock, but this 1966 T1 Samba Van has been gutted and refreshed for the 2020s with a new chassis and a fully electric drivetrain with twice the power. Don't worry, it's still got a steering wheel like a rickety schoolbus!

Unifying conflicting models into a “Theory of Everything” is the Holy Grail of physics. Now a NASA observatory has conducted an experimental test, scouring the sky for evidence of a hypothetical particle that could tie the universe together.

Scientists at Japan's Nagoya University have come up with a new technology to treat contaminated water, using electrically charged nanocarbons to more effectively filter heavy metal ions from the mix.

If you’d like to experience NYC from a different perspective, the Hudson Yards development now has a new attraction. Edge is situated 1,131 ft (344 m) above the ground and offers views of the surrounding city, New Jersey, and New York State.
