Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics will be huge employers in the future, so it makes sense to start piquing the interest of kids. Nintendo Labo is a set of DIY cardboard construction kits that turn the Switch into things like a playable piano or wearable robot suit.

The brain is more complicated than the simplistic adage that left-brain thinking is logical while right-brain thinking is creative and new research is showing how creative thought is determined by how effectively the brain can communicate between different regions that usually work separately

The world's fastest helicopter is being set out to pasture as the British Army announces that its last five Westland Lynx helicopters will be formally retired on January 31 after 40 years of active service.

The human voice is a powerful instrument in itself, but Vlad Kreimer is looking to transform vocal sounds into synthesized soundscapes with the help of the Pipe, a mouth-controlled effects processor and synthesizer that turns the voice into a digital beat machine or rocking lead synth.

For years, the military has been using simple chemical-based heating systems as a way to quickly warm prepackaged rations. Now the YABUL Cook translates such systems into a light-weight silicone device that is foldable and easy to transport.

The realm of transport is a particularly good place to see some of humankind's odder creations in action, and while the seven presented here might not be the most effective in getting you where you need to go, they will certainly turn some heads along the way.​

As much as it is a car show, the 2018 Detroit auto show might just be more a truck and 4x4 show. It's no small story when each of Detroit's Big 3 shows an all-new pickup. Combine that with wild concept SUVs and a new Mercedes G-Class, and you have a show full of big-time trucks and SUVs.

A new gut-brain connection has been revealed in a study from scientists at Weill Cornell Medicine. The research found that mice fed a high-salt diet directly led to cognitive impairment, dementia, and reduced blood flow in regions of the brain commonly associated with learning and memory.

Chameleons are well-known for their ability to change colors, but scientists have just discovered a new visual trick in the creature’s repertoire. Under UV light many types of chameleons have been found to fluoresce in vibrant patterns, which they may use to communicate with others of their species.

Harvard engineers have developed the world’s smallest Delta robot, dubbed the MilliDelta. As its name suggests, the new robot measures just a few millimeters, and could lend a hand in precise picking, packing, manufacturing and surgery on the micro scale.

​When doctors want to monitor conditions such as swelling of the brain, they'll sometimes implant a sensor that emits an electrical signal whenever it's subjected to pressure. The problem is, those sensors have to taken out afterwards. That may not be the case much longer, though.

With winter in full swing in the Northern Hemisphere, 'tis the season for frozen architecture. A team of Dutch and Chinese students and professors have built a 31 m (101 ft)-tall ice tower in China that features walls with an average thickness of just 25 cm (9.84-in).
