We've been worrying about hackers taking control of our autonomous vehicles, but it turns out they could be spooked by much simpler means. A team of researchers says stickers on street signs could be enough to confuse self-driving cars.

​​A new suspension bridge has just opened that might give Indiana Jones himself sweaty palms. The world's longest pedestrian suspension bridge takes visitors through the scenic Bernese Alps, with the mighty Matterhorn mountain in the background to draw nervous eyes away from the valley below. ​

​A large-scale meta-analysis of 185 studies across 40 years has found a more than 50 percent decline in sperm concentration and total sperm count among men from North America, Europe, Australia and New Zealand. The rate of decline was found to be consistent and is cause for concern if it continues.

According to researchers at MIT and Rutgers University, the molten core of the ancient Moon was an active dynamo that drew power from the Earth's gravitational pull to keep its magnetic field going for a billion years longer than previously thought.

Most CubeSats don’t pack their own propulsion systems, instead hitchhiking into orbit aboard other satellite launches. Now, to make them more maneuverable, researchers have developed a system that would allow the mini satellites to safely propel themselves by spraying jets of ordinary water.

​Margot Krasojević’s architectural designs are undeniably experimental, incredibly philosophical and, with engineering technology rapidly evolving, increasingly realizable. Her latest piece is an incredible, mobile bridge commissioned as a prospective crossing for a river in Mongolia.

The side-by-side plot continues to thicken. In recent years, we've seen well-established sports car technologies like turbocharging and paddle shifting make their way over to the side-by-side market. Now Polaris imports another: active suspension.

Team America is ready to go. MegaBots, Inc released a hypetastic video this morning of its final, combat-ready, 16-foot-tall Eagle Prime machine, and announced it's ready to take on the Japanese Kuratas in the world's first giant robot fight.

Here's something for backyard stargazers to drool over. Gemma Observatory is a private astronomical hideaway perched atop a remote mountain in New Hampshire that combines responsive design with functional smarts to make a unique platform for exploring the night sky.

Van life, social hammocking, $500 coolers, and battery packs and charging cables everywhere? The outdoors – or, at least, outdoor gear and the people that venture into it – is changing. New Atlas stopped by last week's Outdoor Retailer Summer Market to peek in on the latest changes.

The Monaco Yacht Show never fails to deliver big superyacht launches, and this year looks like it's going to be no different. The second-largest yacht to roll out of the CRN stable, the Cloud 9, will be on show this year, giving us a chance to gawk at its sleek lines and luxurious interior.

Mankind has long endeavored to construct buildings that reach the heavens. Thanks to advances in tall building design, it's feasible to build skyscrapers almost a kilometer in height – perhaps a mile high will soon be possible too. Join us as we take a look at the world's tallest skyscrapers.
