​Many people will say, "It's not the heat, it's the humidity." It was with this in mind that scientists at the National University of Singapore recently created a hydrogel that draws moisture from the air, making the heat more tolerable … but the material also has a few other tricks up its sleeve.

Hewlett-Packard today announced a smaller and faster gaming laptop, and a bunch of gaming accessories. Chief among the latter is a pair of gaming headphones that feature active earcup cooling technology.

It’s no easy feat to find dark matter, since it's invisible and barely interacts with regular matter. Now the results are in from one of the most comprehensive dark matter experiments ever run, and while the stuff was again a no-show, the study helps scientists zero in on where it might be hiding.

The video game console war of the early 1980s was waged between Intellivision and Atari. After Atari’s announcement of the VCS, Intellivision has now revealed it also plans to jump back in the ring with a brand new console of its own.

A new computer model could help astronomers to interpret the radiation emitted by supermassive black holes as they rip apart and devour unfortunate stars. These extreme "feeding" episodes are known as Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs), and are thought to be incredibly rare.

The CRISPR-Cas9 gene editing system has revolutionized medical research, but since its discovery in 2012 progress towards human trials has been slow. Now another setback has appeared with the FDA pausing one of the first human trials using the technique in the United States before it even begins.

​It's been a couple of since Dutch high-end bicycle maker VanMoof launched its Electrified S e-bike, and 12 months since the visually arresting Electrified X made its debut in Tokyo. Though both had anti-theft technology built in, the company has now made the latest models even harder to steal.​
