Solar stills provide a clever and simple means of purifying dirty or salty water, but they work at a rather slow rate. A new material has been shown to boost their performance, and it's made from fruit waste which would otherwise be discarded.

While there are some mechanical problems that can easily be detected by a car's onboard sensors, there are others which are a bit trickier. The V2M system is designed to catch those other ones, by listening for them using onboard modules.

Performance Marine Yachting is launching the e801 high-speed electric day cruiser at the Austrian Boat Show this weekend, which features a 400+ hp inboard electric motor from the maker of the world's most powerful electric outboard, Evoy.

Nature vs. nurture is an age-old debate about whether how we behave is shaped by our environs, or if we’re born that way. The same can be said for dogs. While how you interact with your dog is sure to affect his mannerisms, their DNA is also a factor.

The winners have been announced in the third annual World Nature Photography Awards. A haunting glance from a mud-crusted crocodile lying in wait takes the top honors, but there's a visual feast to enjoy from the other winners and runners-up.

Nearly 20,000 women will receive an ovarian cancer diagnosis in 2023. But new findings into how resilient cells help neighbor cells also resist chemotherapy may lead to more effective treatment of a disease that has a recurrence rate of more than 70%.

Track Tvan trailers are some of the most rugged towable micro-campers on the planet. Now Track has enhanced the series' off-grid capability by multiplying lithium battery capacity and solar charging to create the all-new Tvan Lightning.

At the Yuma Proving Ground in Arizona, the US Army is testing a new reusable parachute cargo-drop system that is 25% faster to rig and 40% faster to remove after landing, to allow soldiers to quickly leave the drop zone and get out of danger.

Scientists have described a new disease called plasticosis, caused by – you guessed it – plastic waste. So far it's only been identified in the digestive tracts of seabirds, but the scale of the problem suggests it could be widespread in other species.

In order to see how well a corn plant is performing photosynthesis, you need to check the angle of its leaves relative to its stem. And while scientists ordinarily have to do so with a protractor, a new robotic system can now do the job much quicker.

Back in 2017, a family business in the Netherlands launched a successful Kickstarter for a minimalist turntable that played the underside of a record via a linear tonearm. Now Miniot has launched a limited audiophile version called the Black Wheel.

Obesity is linked to several comorbidities, including musculoskeletal disorders. A recent study examined how time-restricted feeding in overweight fruit flies affected the factors underlying obesity’s effects on metabolism and muscle function.
