A compelling new study is comparing cancer cell populations to parasites, describing how it can alter the body's ability to metabolize glucose to create more energy sources that help tumors grow.

Holding up one's trousers seems like a simple enough objective, but while belts have been around in one form or another since the Bronze Age, no one seems to have really nailed it. Enter La Boucle, the belt that combines comfort, durability and style in a versatile one-size-fits-all design.

We looked at the cars of SEMA last week, and this week we dive into the trucks, utility vehicles and vans. The group includes the usual mile-high trucks and gaudy Wranglers but also some new twists, like Iceland-ready adventure vans, UTV/pickup truck half-and-halfs, and super-sized military jeeps.

Whether there’s life beyond Earth is one of the most profound questions we can ask. Making ourselves easier to find could be part of our first contact strategy. A new MIT study outlines a way to use existing or near-future tech to build a kind of laser lighthouse to signal to our cosmic neighbors.

​Amazonian lakes and rivers don't always have the clearest of water, so how do biologists know if piranhas are present? They can always try fishing for the things, although according to new research, listening for their "barks" may be a better way to go.

​According to Norwegian entrepreneurs Dag Loe and Sigmund Birkeland, the wind noise that's generated when motorcycling at highway speeds exceeds 110 decibels. With that in mind, they've developed the DAAL wind noise cancellation system for helmets.

As the seas get warmer and more acidic, all kinds of havoc is wrought, and now a new study has identified yet another symptom. Researchers at Princeton and McGill Universities have found that the seafloor is beginning to dissolve as a result of human activity.

After first adding to its line of electric two- and three-wheelers with a four-wheeled variant a couple of years ago, Canada’s Daymak has followed up with another electrified all-terrain vehicle boasting more than double the potential range of its beastly predecessor.

Volkswagen debuts the clever, little Tarok Concept at the 2018 São Paulo Motor Show. The near-production small pickup is influenced heavily by smart, modern SUVs but still does serious work, carrying payloads up to 1 tonne (1.1 ton) in an extendable bed that grows around cargo.

If you want to know what the absolute state of the art in electric motorcycles is, Arc Vehicle says its Vector is a leap ahead. It's a 120mph cafe racer with a monster 225-mile range, 30-minute charging, a matching haptic jacket and HUD helmet, and an eye-bleeding price tag.

Screecher riders can zip up to 15 mph on motor power alone, or choose from five levels of pedal assist. The onboard battery can be plugged in for a top up, or users can park up in a sunny spot and let the solar panels do their thing.

​Bats eat a lot of moths, which they locate in the dark via echolocation. According to new research, however, some moths have evolved sound-absorbing fur as a passive means of defence – and it could inspire advances in human technology.
