A UK company says it's demonstrated fusion in record time, on a shoestring US$59 million budget, using an innovative new approach that embeds fuel pellets in tiny, falling cube targets, then shoots projectiles at them at 19 times the speed of sound.

In 1964, the Buck Knives company marketed its 110 Folding Hunter knife, which changed the knife-making industry forever by introducing a revolutionary folding blade that locked into place so strongly it performed like a fixed-blade sheath knife.

A study has identified 75 genomic regions associated with Alzheimer’s disease. The findings add to a growing hypothesis immune dysfunction drives the disease and also raise the possibility of developing a predictive Alzheimer’s genetic risk test

For riders who prefer to add motor assist to a regular bike when it's needed and do without when it's not, ebike conversion kits like the one from Swytch can be a handy solution. Now the design has been updated to include a pocket-friendly battery.

The world's first multi-story skatepark squeezes three skateparks, a climbing wall and a boxing ring into a relatively compact inner-city site.
