We asked five design experts – what’s your favorite product of all time, and why?
The virtual reality rides of the early 20th century are now being documented in digital VR.
Cancer is not the modern disease many believe it to be. New fossil evidence from two South African caves suggests that its origins lie deep in prehistory.
Historical insight is not the only thing that has been raised with the Mary Rose.
Using a robotic video camera to digitally recreate a crime scene could give juries greater insight without the logistical nightmare and potential bias of a physical visit.
3D printing is opening doors to amazing opportunities and benefits – as well as some undeniable dangers. Patience and caution about regulating it will yield more innovation.
A tiny pit on mammal-like animals’ snouts has revealed a great deal about how mammalian hair originated.
From education to sport to sex, virtual reality has dozens of applications, and we’re only just scratching the surface of its potential today.
Researchers are making 3D scans, architectural plans and detailed photographic records of cultural heritage sites around the world, knowing they could be destroyed at any time.
The discovery of Homo naledi has been a social media sensation, recording an extraordinary number of views – more than 170,000 – for a scientific paper.
