This design for a smart wristband from engineers at Rutgers University promises a new generation of wearable health and environment trackers. The prototype device can wirelessly connect to a smartphone that then processes and displays a broad assortment of biomarkers including blood cell counts.

New research, from Augusta University, reports a connection between symptoms associated with brain fogginess, including poor short-term memory and difficulty concentrating, and a particular bacterial overgrowth in the small intestine resulting from probiotic consumption.

If global warming causes flooding that inundates the world's coastal urban areas, how will we cope? Biomimicry designer and material scientist Jun Kamei answer is Amphibio – an artificial gill and a breathing reservoir that will allow people to hang out in the submerged megacities.

If robots are ever going to work alongside humans in the real world, they're going to need a softer touch. Harvard researchers have developed a new method for producing small-scale squishy robots, and demonstrated it by creating a flexible robotic peacock spider, driven by a microfluidics system.

With a contract of US$805 million, Boeing has been tapped to build the MQ-25 Stingray unmanned aerial refueling tanker for the US Navy to extend the range of its fleet of F/A-18 Super Hornet, EA-18G Growler, and F-35C Lightning II operating at sea.

The new, 3rd-gen Sprinter hasn't landed in the US just yet, but that doesn't mean that the gen-2 Sprinter isn't finding itself a part of attractive, new camper vans. A nimbler, more compact Airstream touring coach, the Interstate Nineteen brings much of the comfort of home wherever you travel.

Researchers at MIT have come up with a de-icing system that is completely passive and relies only on the power of the sun, or artificial light, which means it can also work at night. The system could be used to prevent ice building up on aircraft wings, wind turbine blades, and powerlines.

La Tête dans les étoiles (or Head in the stars), is one of the most unusual tiny houses we've seen in a while. It's topped by a roof that slides to open up the bedroom to the elements. The off-grid towable home also features solar panels and a rainwater collection system.

Setting up a living room hi-fi system generally involves getting to grips with cables, lots of cables. But the audio landscape has changed in recent years. Yamaha has introduced a new turntable that's designed to bridge the gap between analog and digital music formats.

Vincenzo Navanteri has been awarded the US$20,000 Prince Alvaro de Orleans-Borbon Grant at the 2nd annual FAI International Drone Conference and Expo in Lausanne, Switzerland over the weekend for his idea of a self-piloting drone ambulance.

The Macaron​ is a clever measuring tape dreamt up by students from the Queensland University of Technology. Described as a universal smart tape measure, it was inspired by one of the team members who is vision impaired and struck some difficulties renovating his house.

This year's Düsseldorf Caravan Salon had a fascinating selection of campers of all styles and sizes. We've already looked at the smallest trailers of the show; now it's time to look at the coupe-swallowing, triple-axle motorhomes, off-road expedition trucks and stretched luxury caravans.
