​​If you're going to place a robot among fish to learn about water quality, what better form for it to take than a fish itself? The latest example of this is an autonomous vehicle designed specifically to track pH levels in aquaculture settings to help keep inhabitants fit and healthy.​

​If you've got a lot of stuff to haul around, then cargo bikes are great. If you're just commuting, however, they're pretty heavy and cumbersome. Does this mean that if you do both things, then you need two bikes? Well, not necessarily. The TReGo turns your existing bike into a stuff-hauler.

Norwegian company Yara has teamed up with maritime technology company Kongsberg to build the world's first all-electric and autonomous container ship, which is set to hit the high seas late in 2018.

The Microsoft Surface Book is an impressive 2-in-1 tablet/laptop, but it has only been incrementally updated since its first appearance over a year and a half ago. Is it worth considering the new Surface Laptop instead? New Atlas compares specs and features.

A team of researchers has designed an exciting new energy storage system they call 'a biological supercapacitor' which could offer wearers battery-free implantable devices that never need to be replaced.

​Bats are cool creatures, but they're not always the easiest things to see. If you've got the right equipment, however, you can detect their ultrasonic echolocation calls. Well, the Echo Meter Touch 2 is claimed to be the "right equipment" … and it works with your iPhone.

A future where drones drop off your online orders is another step closer this week after a new record was set for the world's longest drone delivery. On May 5, a fixed-wing HQ-40 UAV carried a package more than 97 miles, under the watchful eye of the Nevada Institute for Autonomous Systems (NIAS).

​If you're a professional photographer, then you likely switch between multiple lenses while shooting. The problem is, digging the right lens out of your kit bag at a moment's notice can be a hassle. It was with this in mind that Swedish photographer Jonas Lundin invented the quick-draw TriLens.

Chitin, which occurs in crustacean shells, has already been suggested for use in things like wound dressings, cheaper pharmaceuticals, and even proton-conducting transistors. Now, researchers have found that when combined with silver, it could also be used to kill malaria-spreading mosquitoes.​

Some see hydrogen as the energy medium of the future, but getting it from the producer to the consumer is one of the biggest problems in creating a hydrogen economy. To help bridge this gap, CSIRO is developing a metallic membrane that helps convert ammonia into high-purity hydrogen.

Tesla has already demonstrated the performance potential of electric power in cars, but the technology hasn't made the same splash in the world of go karting. But that looks set to change with Canada-based Daymak using battery power to develop what it claims will be the "world's fastest go-kart".

​​Electric cars are developing rapidly, but one part of the equation has always lagged behind fossil fuel. Battery charging, no matter which way you swing it, is very slow. A company based in Tel Aviv wants to change that with the FlashBattery, which it claims can be filled in just five minutes.
