A team of scientists has explored the lingering effects of diet during childhood on the gut microbiome, demonstrating how unhealthy eating while young decreases the diversity of bacteria in the guts of mice over the longer term.

McLaren has rolled out the first of its exclusive Sabre supercars. Only available in the USA, the Sabre pushes McLaren's twin-turbo V8 engine harder than ever before, and dips its toe into an exuberant and flamboyant new design direction.

With the move towards electric aviation comes new opportunities to explore what a powertrain looks like, and Airbus is experimenting with a new design that builds entire hydrogen propulsion units, tanks and all, into detachable pods along the wings.

VTN Architects has been experimenting with bamboo for some time and has now produced its most ambitious bamboo-based work to date. The Vedana Restaurant rises to a height of 18 m (60 ft) and features a complex structure topped by an impressive roof.

DEET may be an effective mosquito repellent, but it can cause irritation, and has to be reapplied every few hours. Scientists are now working on a more innocuous, longer-laster alternative, that involves introducing genetically engineered bacteria onto the skin.

Ordinarily, epoxies are cured by exposure to either heat or ultraviolet light. Both have their drawbacks, which are nicely avoided by a new epoxy that hardens when passed through a magnetic field to produce a similar bond using a fraction of the energy.

Boeing's F/A-18 Super Hornet has made its first launch from a "ski jump" ramp. No, it's not a dare or some weird new winter sport but a demonstration to show the Indian Navy that the fighter jet can safely operate from its aircraft carriers.

An international team of researchers has made a discovery that could prove useful to the efforts to preserve the world's coral reefs, using the CRISPR/Cas9 gene editing tool to identify a key gene that regulates their response to heat stress.

Prior to 2020, you were a world traveler. From the Cliffs of Moher to the Pyramids, those pent-up credit card miles got used and in a hurry. Now that travel is put on hold, you're saving loads of cash. Invest in the handiest of travel tools.

Tern has announced a new variant of its HSD cargo commuter that's also its first Class 3 ebike. The HSD S11 rocks a Bosch Performance Line motor for pedal assist up to 28 mph, and a battery big enough for as much as 74 miles between charges.

Continuous blood monitoring would be a transformative advance for doctors and a new study brings that reality closer. New research describes a device that can detect real-time changes in blood levels of any molecule a doctor would need to monitor.

A next-generation space observatory has inched closer to lift-off, with NASA unfolding the James Webb Space Telescope’s five-layer sunshield in the same way it expects it to after arriving in orbit, as part of successful testing here on Earth.
