​In equestrian riding, it's important to keep one's heels pointing downward within the stirrups – if the heels move up, the rider has less control. This can be difficult to learn, however, which is why Gallop Equine has created the sensor-packin' Bluetooth-connected SmartBoot.

For some time now, scientists have known that electrical currents can help heal chronic wounds. And while there are electrotherapy units that are in use, they can be quite bulky and complex. That's why researchers have created an "electric bandage" that's powered by the motion of the body.

​​Open brain surgery is about as dangerous as it sounds. Fortunately, scientists have opened a new doorway to the brain, developing a promising first-of-a-kind device that can deliver electrical currents to targeted areas through a small keyhole incision in the neck.​

A new study from the University of California, San Francisco has found that electrically stimulating an area of the brain called the orbitofrontal cortex (OFC) results in significant mood improvements for patients suffering from moderate to severe depression.

A first-of-its-kind robotic helper has completed its first day on the job at the International Space Station, with ESA astronaut Alexander Gerst powering up the CIMON assistance system and putting its conversational skills to the test.

Israeli-Australian company Electriq Global's new technology stabilizes hydrogen in a recyclable liquid that can be pumped and transported just like gasoline. That's huge, because it enables long-range electric driving with fast refueling – and it plugs right into the existing fuel logistics model.

​When someone gets a hip replaced, it's not uncommon for that leg to subsequently be a little longer or shorter than it was before. Thanks to a new system developed by German scientists, however, that may soon no longer be the case.

The US Navy is developing a simulator to train aircraft carrier flight deck crews in a virtual environment. The expandable, immersive 3D technology based on video games allows flight controllers, supervisors, catapult crews, and watch stations to train together without the need for an actual ship.

​With the original Onak "origami" canoe, you could cycle to the canal or coastline with a trolley in tow, unpack and assemble at the water's edge and then throw in your gear and paddle away . The updated Onak 2.0 offers much the same experience, but comes with a few welcome improvements.​

Our third annual survey of the most valuable scientific manuscripts and instruments sold during the calendar year is dominated by Nobel-Prize-winning American physicist Richard Feynman​, with a $9.6 million copy of John James Audubon​​'s Birds of America topping the list.

​We're suckers for good concept tires, and it seems there's no shortage of ideas each year for what the future might look like where the rubber hits the road. These two Hankook concepts come to us from the Essen Motor Show, and they concentrate on autonomous comfort and racing downforce.

​Back in 2009, MIT scientists hit created an easy swap-out bicycle wheel that had an electric motor at its heart. In 2017 the Copenhagen Wheel was finally released. Now Superpedestrian is getting into the ride-sharing game with the launch of a new e-scooter today.​
