Fans of sheer largeness, pour yourself a bucket of champagne. The biggest, baddest production motorcycle in the world is back, and it's bigger then ever before. The new 2.5-liter Triumph Rocket 3 TFC is a trailer-pulling beast of a thing that'll dwarf anything this side of a Boss Hoss.

A fossilized jawbone discovered on the Tibetan Plateau has been found to belong to a Denisovan, an enigmatic early human species closely related to Neanderthals. Its age suggests that Denisovans were the first hominins to occupy the area, long before the arrival of modern humans.

Every year, businesses get in on the April Fool’s fun, attempting to trick us into believing they’ve either had a stroke of genius or the entire board of directors have gone stark raving mad, but now one of these pranks, the Razer Toaster, is becoming a reality.

BAE Systems has made aviation history by maneuvering the first aircraft in flight using supersonically blown air instead of ailerons or other control surfaces. Taking to the skies over Wales, the wing-shaped Magma UAV makes use of two new technologies that could revolutionize aircraft design.

An Australian company called Naturo has revealed the development of a breakthrough milk processing technique that is heat-free, eliminates more pathogens than pasteurization, and leaves the milk with a refrigerated shelf life of up to 90 days.

​How did one of the most anticipated television events of the year turn into an incoherent anti-climax for viewers? What went wrong with the latest Game of Thrones episode? Did the creators of the show make a grave technical error or is this an illustration of the limits to streaming technology?

With its eye-catching design comprising two skyscrapers joined by greenery-filled bridges, you could be forgiven for assuming the iCarbonX Headquarters is one of those ambitious concepts destined to stay on the drawing board. However, it's due to begin construction later this year.

​Three years ago, Yamaha launched a new line of acoustic guitars sporting technology originally developed for its pianos. The TransAcoustic guitars could breathe concert hall warmth into the driest of rooms. A bunch of new models were released in January, and we snagged one of them to try out.​

​We're increasingly seeing 3D-printed metal components being used in fields such as aviation, where failures could be catastrophic. It's therefore very important to check those items for structural flaws before they're installed, and the best way of doing so may involve freezing them in ice.

Reaction Engines' hypersonic SABRE air-breathing rocket engine is closer to flight after a key component passed the first phase of high-temperature testing. Under conditions simulating supersonic flight, the engine's precooler unit quenched a 420° C intake airflow in less than 1/20th of a second.

​Scientists at New York's Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have made an exciting breakthrough in the realm of cancer treatment, describing a new way of supercharging the body's immune system so that it can take the upper hand and destroy tumor cells around the body.

CRISPR-Cas9 acts like a pair of molecular scissors and enables precise cut-and-paste DNA edits. But now, researchers have developed a new genetic tool that, they say, acts more like a motorized DNA “shredder.”
