As most of us have noticed over the past couple of years, face masks can sometimes be a hindrance – necessary though they are. An experimental new mask, though, automatically becomes easier to breathe through when maximum air filtration isn’t required…. Continue reading “Smart” mask auto-adjusts its breathability in response to conditions
An absolutely gigantic comet is currently barreling towards the solar system – and new observations have pinned down just how big it is. A team of astronomers has measured it to be about 150 km (93 miles) wide, making it comfortably the largest comet e… Continue reading Astronomers size up biggest-known comet as it approaches solar system
A new study published in JAMA Pediatrics is reporting one half of American children under the age of six have detectable levels of lead in their blood.

Slowing the rate of greenhouse gases pouring into the atmosphere is the name of the game when it comes to addressing climate change, but some believe the problem can’t be properly solved without also removing some of what is already there. New Stanford… Continue reading Stanford study makes case for methane removal to tackle climate change
All six of NASA’s active Mars missions will be on light duties for the next couple of weeks as radio communications become difficult due to the Earth and Mars being on opposite sides of the Sun.Continue ReadingCategory: Space, ScienceTags: NASA, Mars, … Continue reading NASA Mars missions stand down as the Sun blocks communications
Electric cargo trikes are an eco-friendly option for making deliveries in urban environments, but the things can be unstable when turning corners. Tilting trikes offer a solution to that problem, and the Lastkraftflitzer is a particularly intriguing ex… Continue reading Three-wheeled electric German “truck speedster” leans into turns
While many people are fascinated by Boston Dynamics’ dog-inspired Spot quadruped robot, there’s no way that they could ever afford one of their own. They could still own a different robo-dog, though, in the form of the smaller and cheaper Mini Pupper.C… Continue reading Mini Pupper could be your open-source miniature robo-dog
It was just over a year ago that we first heard about the eSkootr Championship (eSC), a planned race series for high-speed electric scooters. The standard vehicle that will be used by all the teams has now been announced – the 100-km/h (62-mph) S1-X eS… Continue reading Extreme S1-X eSkooter will reach 100 km/h in 2022 race series
Although solar-powered devices are now fairly common, Swedish scientists have created something a little different. They’ve built tiny “metavehicles” that are mechanically propelled and guided via waves of light.Continue ReadingCategory: ScienceTags: L… Continue reading Microscopic metavehicles are pushed and steered by light
Camper vans (aka caravans) don’t just carry your gear – they also serve as a shelter when you stop. So, why don’t touring bicycles do likewise? Well, the prototype Cercle bike does just that.Continue ReadingCategory: Bicycles, TransportTags: Cycling, C… Continue reading Cercle touring bike features a built-in folding chair, table and cot
