Forma Campers has rolled out what we can only call an origami-drop, a uniquely creased small trailer set up like a teardrop. Its spacious interior and large gullwing door create a base camp that's ideal for dining, working remotely and enjoying a view.

New modeling from the CDC estimates Omicron subvariants BQ.1 and BQ.1.1 now account for over 10% of all infections in the US. Scientists predict these rapidly spreading variants will drive a new wave of infections in the country over the coming months.

Two new studies in the journal Cell have reported on unexpected ways pain-sensing neurons in the gut can serve as more than just sensory alarm systems. The research suggests these neurons also can directly protect the gut from inflammatory damage.

Irish company OceanEnergy has already tested its oscillating water column generators at significant scale in Hawaii, and it's just signed on to a four-year project to test, validate and commercialize its biggest unit yet off Orkney, in Scotland.

The rise of drug-resistant bacteria calls for new approaches to how doctors protect against bone infection after joint replacements, and a potent new form of bone cement is poised to take up the fight.

The tiny Pacific mole crab (Emerita analoga) has a unique talent, in that it can burrow straight down into the sand using its flexible legs. An experimental new robot copies that capability, and it could actually have some practical applications.

Scientists have developed a new method of providing information on 3D-printed foods, by printing a QR code within the food itself. Doing so doesn't affect the taste or outward appearance of the food, nor does it require the use of any labels.

Compelling new research has homed in on a genetic variant that seems to play a significant role in how well people generate an immune response to COVID-19 vaccines and their chances of experiencing a breakthrough infection in the year after vaccination.

Senescent cells are blamed for many effects of aging and as such, they’re targeted by a range of anti-aging therapies. But we might not want to wipe them all out, as a new study suggests that some senescent cells play positive roles in healing.

Aeromine says its unique "motionless" rooftop wind generators deliver up to 50% more energy than a solar array of the same price, while taking up just 10% of the roof space and operating more or less silently. In independent tests, they seem legit.

Brain cancer is one of the most insidious forms of the disease, but a new wireless device could help improve survival times. When implanted between the skin and skull, the device uses infrared to heat up gold nanoparticles to kill cancer from within.
