The Hubble Space Telescope has captured an image of the super-dense neutron star at the heart of the famous Crab Nebula, which resulted from one of the earliest supernovae to be recorded by human beings. Its striking form has made it a popular target for amateur and professional astronomers alike.

Modern bikes are lighter and more efficient than ever before, but their basic design is rooted in the past. Cyclotron is trying to change that with a hubless carbon creation, complete with lighting fit for a sci-fi film.

Far away from our beloved Milky Way lies a galaxy called UGC 1382, a place that scientists and astronomers thought was just another tiny, elliptical galaxy. It turns out that not only is it bigger than they previously thought, but it's also much larger than the galaxy that Earth calls home.

Dutch-style cargo bikes are becoming increasingly popular outside of The Netherlands. That said, they can be pricey, plus they're a lot of bike to be riding around when they're empty. Well, that's where The Lift comes in. It lets you temporarily convert your regular bike into a cargo bike.​

Bottpower's XR1R is an American-style flat tracker from Spain built from an American legend (Erik Buell's XB12) that was built from another American Legend (Harley-Davidson's Sportster 1200). With more than 150 hp and less than 150 kg to shift, it should be a mad little racetrack carver.

Researchers at Oxford University claim computer simulations have demonstrated it is possible that microscopic wind farms could be built and powered by bacteria to provide a steady, albeit small, source of power.

As its name suggests, OOPEAA's Periscope Tower serves as an oversized periscope thanks to a pair of carefully-placed mirrors integrated into its core. No mere gimmick, the prefabricated observation tower ensures visitors can take in a raised view from ground level.

NASA's Curiosity Mars rover completed the fourth year of its original two-year mission today and is looking forward to another two-year extension beginning in October.

From this month, pedestrians in the United Kingdom, Germany and Switzerland will begin sharing their sidewalks with robot couriers. The self-driving delivery droids are being rolled out as part of a pilot by Starship Technologies, working with a number of major industry partners.

A team made up of researchers from Microsoft and the University of Washington has broken a new record for DNA data storage, managing to store and retrieve 200 MB of data on strands of DNA.

Scientists have created “super-sniffer” mice that are able to detect specific odors with increased precision, opening the door for new sensors for explosives and diseases – as well as a better understanding of our own olfactory system.

Although a webcam may appear to be inactive, it's possible for someone to hack into your computer and use it to watch you without your knowledge. The only way to be sure that this isn't the case is to cover the lens, which is just what the Nope 2.0 magnetic privacy shield is designed to do.
