If someone has a swallowing disorder, they typically have to pay visits to a clinic, where their throat is monitored as they perform swallowing exercises. A new sensor could change that, allowing patients to be remotely monitored in their homes. Continue reading Disposable sensor provides at-home monitoring of swallowing disorders
Scientists have extracted a complete human genome from a 5,700-year-old piece of “chewing gum.” It was discovered that the chewer was an ancient female – now named Lola – with dark skin, blue eyes, and most likely a taste for duck and hazelnuts. Continue reading 5,700-year-old “chewing gum” yields complete human genome
Teardrop trailers typically feature a wood body, but manufacturers have been moving away from the wood. The latest to roll into our view is the High Altitude XT50, a foam-core composite shell with cozy sleeper interior and tailgate galley. Continue reading High Altitude puts a foam-core composite spin on the teardrop trailer
While some powered exoskeletons give able-bodied users “superstrength,” others are designed simply to let physically-challenged people move about normally. A new version of the latter is said to be much lighter and more user-responsive than others on t… Continue reading Lightweight, responsive exoskeleton is designed for use by seniors
Although it’s unlikely that many people would think of wood-fired hut tubs as being “green” products overall, some of the things are certainly more eco-friendly than others. Such is the case with a new tub, that’s already on sale in Europe. Continue reading Pellet-burning, app-controlled hot tub said to be cleaner and cheaper
Since being acquired by China’s Ninebot, Segway has moved far beyond its self-balancing electric personal transporter roots.

Throughout 2019, we’ve reported on a range of tiny houses. Some are simple homes on wheels, while others boast novel ideas like sliding roofs and elevator beds. Here’s our pick of the very best we’ve seen. Continue reading The best tiny houses of 2019
Australian scientists claim they’ve worked out a much cheaper, more efficient way to split hydrogen out of water, using easily sourced iron and nickel catalysts. The discovery could greatly improve the equation for “green” hydrogen. Continue reading New water-splitting process could kick-start “green” hydrogen economy
Fossilized shells have now revealed that Earth’s systems were already stressed before the asteroid impact that killed the dinosaurs, as volcanic eruptions may have heated the oceans and raised mercury levels to dangerous heights. Continue reading Dinosaurs may have faced volcanic climate change before the asteroid
In order to combat the hundreds of millions of empty toothpaste tubes that are destined for landfill across the world each year, Canadian entrepreneurs Mike Medicoff and Damien Vince have created a toothpaste that comes in the form of a tablet. Continue reading Canadian duo invent a toothpaste tablet to eliminate plastic tubes
