We hear a lot about artificial hips and knees, but finger joints? They do exist, but their fit and functionality is limited. Germany's Fraunhofer research group aims to change that, with artificial finger joints that are 3D-printed for each patient.

If you grab fast food while out and about, there's a good chance that you use the restaurants' disposable plastic cutlery. Uphold offers a more eco-friendly alternative, as it's a reusable modular cutlery set that packs away into a slim case.

While some assistance is available to individuals who lack the power of speech, verbally communicating with other people can still be challenging. A new face-worn strain sensor could help, as it's able to "read" the wearer's silently mouthed words.

Foster + Partners has been given the green light for an ambitious new project in London. The mixed-use development will feature significant sustainable design and, according to the firm, will be one of the city's largest timber buildings.

Advances in chemistry continue to bring new materials into the realm of recyclability, and new work from a research team at the University of Michigan has taken aim at one of the most problematic to reuse.

Roughly 37 million American adults reportedly snore on a regular basis, but why remain one of them? If you want to put a stop to your incessant buzzing at night, Snore Circle can help you out. It's part of our extended Cyber Monday sale at 41% off.

Wormholes are a sci-fi staple, and and it's possible that they exist in the real universe. But how would they work? Physicists have now used a quantum processor to simulate a traversable wormhole, teleporting information between two quantum systems.

The VW Group really has a thing for off-road sports cars. The all-new Lamborghini Huracán Sterrato joins the recently debuted Porsche 911 Dakar in the category. It's a Raging Bull that's ready to break out of the pen and power toward open range.

In a new study published in Frontiers in Aging Neuroscience, researchers propose urine tests as a potential way to detect Alzheimer's disease. The study suggests formic acid levels in urine could be a useful early-stage biomarker for the disease.

In order to better understand how mosquitoes spread diseases such as malaria, it's important to know how far they range within a given region. A new technique could help scientists do so, and it involves feeding the insects DNA.
