A newly discovered molecule has raised hopes of cutting cancer cells off at the source, with early experiments demonstrating how it can latch onto cancer stem cells and starve them of what they need to survive.

If you use a recently-produced laptop, you may have found yourself needing to spend extra cash on a USB-C multiport hub. Vaio is having none of that nonsense for its SX12 mini laptop, which offers an impressive array of ports for such a small machine.

Steven Holl Architects and Architecture Acts, in association with Nagata Acoustics, have been selected to design a new concert hall in Czech Republic. The building's unusual form is described as an "instrument in its case" and will sport an eye-catching zinc roof that has solar panels installed.

We've seen robots that can walk, trot, run, and even do backflips, but now a student team is working on a rover robot prototype that is designed to travel in lunar gravity by controlled bounds into space where all four legs leave the ground.

​​Garmin has added to its extensive range sports training aids with a new gadget to help get trapshooters aiming truly. The Xero S1 offers instant feedback every time a shot is fired, offering opportunities for slight and swift adjustments to take one’s game to the next level.​

​When a spinal cord injury occurs, sometimes it's the body's own immune system that causes the subsequent paralysis. In the not-too-distant future, however, it's possible that an injection of nanoparticles at the injury site may be able to rein in the well-meaning but destructive immune cells.

A team has created an AI system that, for the first time, has defeated several poker professionals in six-player Texas hold 'em. Unlike earlier iterations of the system, the researchers will not publicly release this algorithm’s code, for fear it could decimate the online poker world.

Canada's Beau Lake has recently launched two stunning electric runabout boats to its collection. The company is no stranger to the classic boat designs of the '50s and '60s, and have once again successfully blended the Riva/Chris-Craft style with modern construction techniques.

The Japanese spacecraft Hayabusa 2 has successfully pulled off a second touchdown on the surface of the distant asteroid Ryugu. The risky dive saw the probe collect material that had been exposed during the creation of an artificial crater on April 5.

Wicked Lasers' latest gadget is one of the most mesmerizing and compelling toys we've played with in a long, long time. It's also extremely dangerous, powerful enough to pop balloons, etch patterns on wood, and surely fry the odd retina if used incorrectly. We loved it.

Graphene is incredibly thin, flexible, strong and electrically conductive, but it’s tricky to manufacture on large scales. Now researchers at the University of Rochester have recruited bacteria to make the stuff, which is cheaper and faster than current methods and doesn’t require harsh chemicals.

​Getting a filling isn't always the end of a tooth's cavity problems. Sometimes, bacteria is able to get down between the filling and the surface of the tooth, causing another cavity to occur. A new antibacterial dental restorative material, however, could help keep that from happening.
