Swedish personal mobility startup Cake has added another electrified two-wheeler to its stable, introducing a moped that is designed to be as comfortable hauling cargo around cities as it is setting out on a weekend adventure.

New research is offering some of the first empirical evidence of the fatiguing effects of camera use in virtual meetings. The research is part of an increasing body of study into the effects of remote work and the phenomenon known as "Zoom Fatigue."

Cargo bikes are capable of carrying a lot of stuff, but … for some loads, you really need four wheels. That doesn't mean the vehicle can't be partially pedal-powered, though, as is the case with the modular electric-assist SUM-X.

The brain is arguably the most complex puzzle known to man, and recently, most people are having trouble putting the pieces back together. Brush out those cobwebs and start thinking clearly with a one-year subscription to NeuroNation Brain Training.

Astronomers have spotted a new type of supernova for the first time. An unlucky star seems to have prematurely exploded after colliding with an extremely dense object, perhaps a black hole or a neutron star, creating a unique signature in the sky.

In its 17th year the Through Your Lens underwater photography contest continues to deliver an extraordinary assortment of undersea images. This year's highlights include a stunning shot of a shrimp helping clean the teeth of a moray eel.

Northrop Grumman and Martin UAV have completed flight tests of an enhanced V-BAT unmanned aircraft system as part of the US Army's competition to replace the aging RQ-7B Shadow drone for Army Brigade Combat Teams, Special Forces, and Ranger battalions.

While all ebikes may not be identical, their form factor is limited by the fact that their pedals must be mechanically linked to the rear wheel. Schaeffler's new Free Drive system does away with that, potentially allowing for unlimited new designs.

Perovskites are quickly emerging in the solar energy field, thanks to their ability to convert photons into electricity. Now this process has been tweaked to pick up neutrons instead, making an effective detector for leaks from radioactive materials.

The idea of using human movement to generate electricity is something we've seen applied to many areas, and scientists have now developed a highly efficient form of wooden flooring that leverages this technology to power a lamp with footsteps.

Although magnesium is known for being lightweight, riveting pieces of it together can be an involved, energy-intensive process. A new technique is claimed to make doing so much simpler, possibly opening up new uses for the metal.

Why do ants and other small creatures have such sharp bites? According to scientists from the University of Oregon and the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL), the answer lies in their ability to uniformly add zinc atoms to their teeth.
