Frogs are increasingly having more sex on dry land than in rivers and lakes and new research says that the reason for this might be for males to avoid competition from other males. In arriving at this theory, the researchers took a look at frog testes.

A team at the University of Freiburg has given neural networks a better sense of style by developing a method for taking an existing art style and smoothly applying it to a video. Artists, including New York-based Danil Krivoruchko, have already put the system to work with some beautiful results.

Automaker Smart is to begin trialling a service that allows parcels to be delivered to the trunk of a car. "Smart Ready to Drop" is the first innovation from the carmaker's "smart lab" think tank, aimed at "accelerating the development and implementation of creative urban mobility projects."

Tesla's Autopilot has come under scrutiny recently, after a driver using the system was killed when his Model S hit a white tractor-trailer. More details have emerged from the accident, with investigators revealing the car was traveling 9 mph over the posted limit at the time of impact.

The last time we climbed aboard a Can-Am Spyder was soon after it was introduced in 2008, so a week the sporty 2016 F3-S Special Edition gave us a good chance to see how far the three-wheeler has come.

Engineers at the Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL) have developed graphene-based biofoam sheets that can be laid on dirty or salty dams and ponds to produce clean drinking water, using the power of the sun.

The Case Remote Air camera controller, which is currently on Indiegogo, promises to bring advanced wireless functionality to a range of Canon and Nikon DSLRs. We recently tried one out to see whether additional Wi-Fi features are worth having.

Researchers at Aalto University have come up with an inexpensive inkjet-printed solar cell that can be made into text or images. Designed to be used with low-power devices, it has already shown performance and durability comparable to that of existing​ organic dye solar cells.

Why does Jupiter's upper atmosphere sizzle away at extraordinarily high temperatures when it is so far away from the Sun? Scientists have come across evidence suggesting the enigmatic Great Red Spot may be acting as the provider of this mysterious and powerful energy source. ​

​With 12-inch wide, 25-inch diameter fat wheels and a simple two-wheel drive system, this unique and "distinctive" Russian ag bike can crawl its way through all kinds of mud and slush. It's light enough to haul over obstacles, and it pulls apart quickly to fit in the back of a car.

Stuntman Eddie Braun has announced he's going to attempt to complete one of Evel Knievel's most famous failures - the rocketbike jump over Snake River canyon - using a replica Skycycle X-2 built by the son of Knievel's original engineer Bob Truax.

Single-molecule imaging has revealed that synapses – the tiny junctions that allow neurons to communicate with each other – transmit information across precisely-aligned nanocolumns. The discovery could unlock new secrets to how our brains work and it may improve our understanding of brain diseases.
