Researchers used repetitive magnetic stimulation on the brain of a man who’d had a stroke 12 years ago, improving his walking speed, balance, and coordination. The innovative treatment offers hope to others affected by stroke, even years after.

Taiwan-based e-mobility outfit Gogoro is taking its battery-swapping electric scooters out beyond the city limits with the introduction of the CrossOver SmartScooter, which the company is calling the first two-wheel SUV.

When using a spirit level (aka bubble level) to mark mounting points on a wall, you almost need three hands. The Levelmarker 2.0 is designed to address that problem, by combining level-holding and mark-making in a simple two-handed job.

For the first time, scientists have identified how the region of our brain that powers memory is made up of two very different sets of neurons: one that deals with previous associations, and one that is predictive, actively shaping future behaviors.

New research reveals the severity of COVID-19 may be linked to a fungal population living in our gut, and perhaps novel antifungal medicines can be developed to treat the disease.

A month after launching the new Prodigy city bike, San Diego's Ride1Up has added a flexible option for commuters who may need to carry their ride on a train for part of the journey. The firm's first folding ebike is available for just $995.

Researchers have developed a plant-based hydrogel to create shape-changing, navigable small-scale robots with potential applications in biomedicine, including conducting medical procedures and delivering therapeutic cargo to cells and tissues.

Gravitational wave facilities measure spacetime distortions down to 10 quadrillionths of a hair – small enough for interference from particles popping in and out of existence. Now LIGO has pushed beyond this quantum limit by “squeezing” laser light.

It was only a matter of time, but highly pathogenic avian influence (HPAI) has officially found its way to Antarctica, after dead migratory brown skuas on Bird Island returned positive test results. This leaves just Oceania free of the deadly virus.

Scientists have developed what they call the most water-repellent surface ever. By giving it a liquid-like coating that defies usual designs, water will roll off the surface at angles 500 times shallower than other superhydrophobic materials.

How do you protect hypersonic vehicles from the high temperatures of over 2,200 °C (4,000 °F) encountered when flying in excess of Mach 5? According to the RTX Technology Research Center, the answer is to make them sweat.

Heart tissue normally can't regenerate after an injury. But now, scientists at Max Planck have shown in mice that reprogramming the energy metabolism of the heart allows it to regenerate after a heart attack, which could open new therapies.
