ESA is set to send a 3D printer up to the International Space Station (ISS) for a preliminary round of orbital testing in the first half of next year. The results of the study will be instrumental in informing us on the potential uses of 3D printing in microgravity.

Last year the iPad Air and Retina iPad mini made for a tough decision. But this year Apple put all its eggs in the iPad Air 2 basket, leaving no question as to which tablet is better. But is there any reason to consider the iPad mini 3? Let's take a quick hands-on look.

Researchers at UC Santa Barbara (UCSB) have now synthesized nanoparticles that mimic the form and function of platelets, but can do more than just accelerate the body's natural healing processes.

The six finalists in the 2014 Electrolux Design Lab certainly threw up some eye-catching ideas. Electrolux has now revealed the winner, the Future Hunter-Gatherer concept aimed at reconnecting us with our food sources by gamifying the task of grocery shopping.

Playing a round of golf can take a good few hours, not least because of the time taken to walk between shots. Using a golf cart can speed things up, especially if it goes 118 mph (190 km/h). That's the speed Plum Quick Motors says one of its high speed golf carts has hit to claim a new world record.

Robotic ocean gliders were recently deployed in the coastal waters off Antarctica to help study why warm water, a major contributing factor to melting sheet ice, is appearing there. The gliders have no propeller, and are instead given motion by a battery-powered pump that changes their buoyancy.

Gizmag reviews the Woojer, a matchbox-sized device that sends beat-driven vibrations throughout the region of the body where it's placed, adding a new dimension to the personal music listening experience.
