Scientists at Yale University investigating the mechanisms at play in type-2 diabetes have discovered a new way they may be able to apply the brakes to the condition, based on a new understanding of how fasting can drive its onset.

UK audio gear maker iFi has launched a new USB DAC/headphone amp that delivers a "sound as flavorsome and richly detailed as a delicious single malt." The hip-dac slips in the pocket just like a hip flask.

Photographer Oleg Ershov won the International Landscape Photographer of the Year award with a folio of spectacular vertical images. In its sixth year, the photo contest delivers a stunning array of images focusing on the beauty of the natural world.

Back in 2015, we heard about a skin patch that had been used to treat diabetes in mice. It's now come a step closer to use on humans, as it's been successfully trialed on diabetic pigs.

Advanced RV's latest custom camper van comes packaged and detailed a little more thoughtfully than average, combining a stealthy exterior, electrical and connectivity "tech-gate," sturdy roof deck and tailor-fit living area.

Organ transplants are invasive and donors hard to find. Treating kidney disease with stem cells is an option, and now researchers have isolated and studied kidney stem cells from urine samples, which could be a much easier way to collect them.

Back in 2017, a former racing catamaran was turned into a floating clean energy laboratory. Powered by a mix of renewable energies, the striking vessel is now the first recipient of Toyota's new fuel cell system for maritime applications.

Although there are already complex prototype interfaces that track all of the fingers on a computer-user's hand, let's be honest – it's mostly just the index finger that matters. That's where the experimental AuraRing system is designed to come in.

In nature, pest insects and other parasites latch onto their hosts by inserting backward-facing barbs into their tissue. Scientists have now copied that strategy, in a system that could someday replace painful hypodermic needles.

Even when camping in a large vehicle, eventually you run out of space. So, it can pay dividends to opt for slimmer, lighter gear. You'll have trouble finding a slimmer, lighter camping stove than the GSI Pinnacle Pro, a laptop-thin dual-burner.

Scientists at MIT are now reporting an exciting advance in the realm of solid-state lithium batteries, demonstrating a new type of architecture that overcomes some limitations of current designs and could lead to smartphones that last for days.

Scientists at the University of Toronto have spent years developing a portable device that can print out large sheets of "bio ink" to boost the healing process from severe burns, and have just proved its abilities in pigs for the first time.
