​The Cassini spacecraft has entered the final year of its epic mission to explore the Saturnian system. Join New Atlas as we take a look at a selection of the spacecraft's many scientific achievements, and how the probe will ultimately meet its dramatic end in September 2017.

​Delivering supplies to disaster sites is an inexact science. The Pouncer is an unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) designed to land accurately, while its hollow wings and body can be packed with food, water and medicine, the pre-formed shell used as shelter, and the frame burned for cooking fuel.

The question of why time moves forwards, and not backwards, has long been on the minds of physicists. Now, a professor at UC Berkeley has a new theory: as the universe expands, it drives the expansion of time, which creates a constant series of new “now” moments.

A new study has found that 40 million years ago a hotspot softened the mantle rock beneath Greenland in a way that has recently come to fool scientists trying to gauge ice loss in the area. So much so, that it has been losing around 20 gigatons per year more than we previously thought. ​

Toggling a pickup selector mid-song can dramatically change the sound of an electric guitar, but available tones can be fairly limited. The Custom Collection 50 Deluxe offers multiple tone options – selected by combining the 4-way blade switch positions with push/pull volume and tone knobs.

Cercacor is the latest company to be showing off its wares at the Interbike Expo in Las Vegas, launching the Ember: a hemoglobin tracker and scanner device that links to your smartphone to give you an almost instant assessment of your body's reaction to exercise.

​Everybody's butt is unique. It would only seem logical, then, that an "off-the-rack" bicycle saddle isn't going to deliver an optimum fit. That's where Meld enters the picture. It's a saddle that's manufactured using a posterior impression that the buyer sends in. ​

Announced today, Flybrix's drones come in the form of Lego kits that kids build themselves, crash and build again, all for the thrill of bringing high-flying creations to life and developing engineering skills and creativity in the process.

Bell helicopter has unveiled its new V-247 Vigilant tiltrotor drone for the US Marine Corps. Like the company's V-22 Osprey, the Unmanned Aerial System (UAS) can lift off and hover like a helicopter, yet has the range and speed of a fixed-wing aircraft.

To help avoid the inconvenience of losing a GPS navigation signal in tunnels, a system of wireless transmitters, known as Waze Beacons, have been developed that can send navigation signals directly to mobile devices via Bluetooth

Researchers at the Max Planck Institute in Germany have created a system that can move and manipulate particles using holograms made of sound

We could almost review the iPhone 7 Plus by pointing to our iPhone 7 review and saying "That. But bigger." There is at least one key difference, though, between Apple's standard and phablet flagships this year. It's New Atlas' iPhone 7 Plus review.
