The human brain's threat response system is state-of-the-art, and this interesting ebike incorporates a brain-machine interface that reads your brainwaves to detect threats and then acts on them before you've had a chance to think about it.

One area where metal organic frameworks have real potential is in the field of carbon capture, which a team of researchers has demonstrated with a sponge-like device that adsorbs CO2 using just a third of the energy required by other methods.

A new record has been achieved for the fastest internet speed from a single light source – an absolutely astounding 44.2 terabits per second, 44,000 times faster than the highest speed connection. It was made possible by a new kind of optical chip.

Windows capable of harvesting energy from the sun have been on the horizon for a number of years, but they're yet to help cut down a building's energy costs. A new development from Australian researchers may change that.

Researchers behind a new study involving almost 20,000 patients has uncovered no evidence that asprin provides a therapeutic benefit when it comes to staving off cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer's and other forms of dementia.

Ultrasound has become an indispensable tool for showing us internal tissues of the human body, but a new ultrasonic biosensor could see it offer a far more detailed and dynamic picture as the body responds to drugs or disease.

For people living with conditions such as hypertension, knowing their blood pressure at all times certainly would be helpful. That's where a non-invasive new wearable system is designed to come in.

Scientists have unearthed an interesting example of animal behavior, catching wild grey seals clapping underwater for the first time ever, seemingly an attempt to catch the eye of potential suitors that happen to be in the area.

The autoimmune disorder celiac disease is thought to result largely from genetic predisposition, but environmental factors also play a part. Now, researchers have found evidence that exposure to certain bacteria may be one of these external factors.

The search is very much on for new water desalination technologies that can get the job done more efficiently. Scientists in Melbourne have put forward one rather promising solution, developing a new kind of system that heats up and purifies water using only the power of the Sun.​

Modern Mars is a desolate husk of a planet, as far as life is concerned. But it’s not completely uninhabitable, since microbes could be hiding in the cracks of rocks and dirt. And now a new study has found a possible food source for these organisms – space dust.

Livestock like sheep and cows are responsible for huge amounts of methane emissions. Now, an international team of researchers has analyzed the gut microbes of different sheep and found clues that may help us curb the problem.
