A study has described how certain bacteria living on our skin can act as microbial sunscreen, protecting us from harmful UV rays. These microbes neutralize UV-induced immune changes, offering a natural defense against the damaging effects of sunlight.

No matter how you spec it, the all-new Hawk+ camper from Four Wheel Campers will serve as your personal wilderness escape. Buyers can spec it however they like, from fast, simple weekend getaway to all-out autonomous cabin-in-the-woods.

Animals that produce their own light source, through an internal chemical reaction, are a true wonder of nature – and something biotechnology scientists have been working hard to replicate and adapt for human use. They've now made a huge breakthrough.

Archer has released video footage of the first flight of its Midnight eVTOL with a pilot at the controls, though the aircraft rolled down a runway to take off rather than using its rotors to lift it vertically.

TL;DR: Want to invest but don’t know which to pick? Let Sterling Stock Picker assist with picking stocks, making smart investment decisions, and more, now $55.19 (reg. $486) with code SAVE20.

Researchers have developed a new method for preventing bacteria from adhering to surfaces, such as medical devices. It relies on the unique properties of resilin, a natural insect protein that enables fleas to jump hundreds of times their body length.

A landmark study has found that a workable exercise plan significantly improves survival and health of people who have survived colorectal cancer. So much so that, as one researcher notes, "Our findings will change the way we treat colon cancer."

Diabetic foot ulcers are prone to recurring, even when they look healed. A new study used an existing method to assess the degree of water loss from the skin and found that it was a good diagnostic tool for predicting a foot ulcer’s comeback.

Scientists have developed a fuel cell system which they say could ultimately have enough energy capacity to power regional electric aircraft. They state that the technology is capable of carrying over three times as much energy per unit of weight as a lithium-ion battery.

Makers, tinkerers, modelers and crafters looking for an edge that smoothly cuts through a range of materials like they're all butter might find the NeoBlade of interest – which is claimed to be the world's most compact wireless ultrasonic cutter.
