Despite the current onslaught of "smart" devices, the humble handwritten sticky-note reminder is still hanging in there. That said, Amazon is planning on giving it a high-tech makeover of its own, with the Smart Sticky Note Printer.

Scientists have developed a new satellite data based early warning technique that could one day be used to predict volcanic eruptions years before they take place, and help decide which volcanoes should be fitted with sensitive monitoring equipment.

In many parts of the world there may not be much precipitation, but there is a fair amount of water vapor in the air – particularly at night. An experimental new device draws in that vapor, then uses it to irrigate edible plants.

A few years ago a designer named Dani Clode introduced the world to the Third Thumb, a robotic finger controlled using pressure sensors under one’s feet. Now neuroscientists are using the device to investigate how our brain's adapt to extra limbs.

Rail technology company Wabtec has demonstrated a new form of electric train technology that could help lessen the environmental footprint of heavy-haul freight services, reducing fuel consumption of an entire train by 11 percent in an early pilot.

Scientists have discovered a strange new form of crystal that was forged in the first nuclear weapons test. Known as a "quasicrystal," the curious creation is made out of desert sand and copper wiring arranged in an extremely rare atomic structure.

The latest test run for TuSimple's self-driving trucks involved hauling a load of fresh produce over hundreds of miles across the US, where it demonstrated that it can complete such tasks in quick and highly efficient fashion.

The first thing many of us might wish for is eternal youth, but there’s always a catch. Now, scientists have discovered a version of this story playing out in ant nests, as parasites drastically extend the lifespan of worker ants – at a terrible cost.

It’s time to put the “fit” back in fitness. Instead of dropping cash on a personal trainer, try something more modern with the JAWKU Speed: Wearable Speed and Agility Measurement System — now 24% off its list price.

Researchers have demonstrated a new approach to harnessing the power of ambient radio waves, developing a novel chip that can convert Wi-Fi signals into power for a small LED, and possibly other small electronics and sensors.

Ford's fully electrified workhorse and mobile power station arrives with more quickness than a Raptor, two battery options for up to 300 miles of range, and loads of handy tech. Oh, and the price isn't nearly the gut punch we thought it'd be.

University of Oxford researchers have come up with a way to control the speed at which tomatoes ripen by modifying a specific gene. This could not only help reduce wastage and boost tomato crop yields, but possibly other crop varieties, too.
