​A company called Lofree is betting that people will want to use a keyboard that closely mimics the feel of a typewriter. Based on the runaway success of its current Indiegogo campaign, that bet seems sound. But after getting our fingers on one, we're not so sure we feel the same.

​​An isolated tribe in the Bolivian Amazon has been found to have the healthiest arteries of any population ever studied. The Tsimane (pronounced chee-MAH-nay) are a forager-horticulturist tribe that has been found to have extraordinarily low levels of vascular aging​.

​Lip-reading is an inexact science, with motoring mouths making it hard to attribute sounds to each individual movement. Computer scientists at Oxford University have teamed up with Google's DeepMind to develop artificial intelligence that might give the hearing impaired a helping hand.

Forget about expensive obstacle avoidance systems, a team of researchers has built a prototype drone with a rubbery, flexible frame that deforms harmlessly in a crash, then snaps itself back into shape ready to fly again in an instant.

Art and technology have always been fundamentally intertwined, with new techniques and materials allowing artists to innovate and create new works. In this edition of our ongoing series looking at different forms of technological art, we examine the controversial and compelling arena of BioArt.

Around 717 million years ago, the Earth froze over and became a giant snowball for at least five million years. In a new study, Harvard scientists suggest that the answer to this mystery might lie in the way volcanic eruptions caused the Earth’s temperatures to plummet.​​

With all the high-profile security breaches in recent years, researchers have been looking to add new biometric layers to our regular passwords. Computer scientists at HKBU have now developed a novel form of lip-motion detection to boost the security of password authentication systems.

Adding electric go to a board can result in some under-deck chunk or bulky trucks spoiling the aesthetic. Germany's JayKay says it's managed to cram all of the electronics, electric motors and even the battery into a longboard truck that looks pretty much the same size as a non-electric flavor.​

​The plastic film usually used in food packaging is difficult to recycle, and it stays in landfills for many years after disposal. Scientists from Lithuania's Kaunas University of Technology have developed a new food wrap that's not only biodegradable, but it should also keep food fresh for longer.

Lenovo's Moto G5 Plus​ is the latest in a line of bang-for-buck budget phones, dating back to when Google owned Motorola. Let's see how the features and specs of the Moto G5 Plus compare to those of its flagship sibling, the modular Moto Z​.

​Nintendo's best hardware has rarely been about pushing technological boundaries; instead the secret usually lies in putting existing pieces together in a unique, fun and family-friendly way. While the Switch is indeed unique, the writing was already on the wall.

The humble leaf, which collects sunlight and uses that energy to turn carbon dioxide into fuel for the plant, has inspired scientists. Researchers have developed a molecule that uses sunlight to convert the problematic carbon dioxide into carbon monoxide, which can then be stored as a fuel source.
