​From the comfort of our own homes, Google Street View can show us some of nature's most spectacular sights. Its cameras have now been deployed on Australia's Christmas Island, where they will capture the millions of crabs that famously migrate from the forest to the sea in December each year.

The French-designed Tringa boat won't solve every hardship of boat ownership, but it can eliminate the trailering, mooring and winterization headaches from the equation. Store this boat in your driveway and drive it directly down the street and over the beach into the water.

CRISPR-Cas9 shows incredible promise, but the long term effects of cutting DNA in living organisms isn’t known. Now scientists from the Salk Institute have modified it to work without cutting, switching targeted genes on and off instead, and used it to treat diabetes and muscular dystrophy in mice.

The hunt for exoplanets has entered a new phase with the European Southern observatory's Echelle SPectrograph for Rocky Exoplanet and Stable Spectroscopic Observations (ESPRESSO) achieving first light.

​The legalization of recreational marijuana in some US states has resulted in a giant new multibillion dollar industry. The latest THC-innovation comes from a Californian winery that has created the world’s first alcohol-free, marijuana-infused Sauvignon Blanc.

A new high-tech US embassy was recently completed in London. The billion dollar project takes the form of a glazed cube. It's efficient too: the building features rainwater recycling and solar panels, and is slated for LEED Platinum and BREEM Outstanding green building certifications.

When scanning for potentially habitable exoplanets, astronomers look for similar conditions to Earth. Tiny, turbulent pulsars aren’t usually given a second thought, but a new study has calculated that these neutron stars could indeed host habitable planets – under very specific circumstances.

Full specs are now available for the barnstorming Nikola NZT range of side-by-side off-roaders, and they look absolutely crazy. The lowest-spec model has nearly 100 horsepower more than any of the competition, and the top-spec NZT 440 is going to pack supercar-level horsepower.

​Longline fisheries may catch a lot of fish, but they also catch seabirds such as albatross. Several years ago, a group of conservationists began work on a product designed to keep the birds from getting caught. It's known as the Hookpod, and a recent study has concluded that it really works.

​A restaurant chain in the United States is testing out an AI-enabled self-ordering kiosk that uses facial recognition to identify customers and recall their favorite food orders. Is this the future of fast food ordering or an strange gimmick that people will not embrace?

A whammy bar on a guitar allows players to add vibrato to some chops while picking, and the Vibe Bar from Claude Woodward does the same for MIDI keyboards. It allows music makers to cook in pitch bends and vibrato using the same hand that's playing the notes.
