For years, the CRISPR-Cas9 genome technology has been reshaping genetic engineering, a precision tool to transform everything from agriculture to medicine. With its incredible efficiency, this molecular tool has been applied to plants, animals, and even bacteria. But until now, no one has used CRISPR-Cas9 on spiders.
I've lost count of the number of things I use around the house that I've replaced, simply because I lost or broke a small piece of them. They were otherwise perfectly usable and could easily be kept around for years more if I could just find a spare part – like the handle for my manual food processor, the nose pads for my eyeglasses, and the trigger buttons on my game controller.

While we've seen a number of wearable underwater propulsion systems, they've typically been strapped to the user's arms or legs. The newly refreshed CudaJet is different, in that it's a true backpack-style underwater jetpack.

It was race against time as NASA engineers recently raced to fix a thruster problem aboard the vintage Voyager 1 deep space probe. It's hard enough to repair a craft at the edge of the solar system, but this time they faced a potentially deadly deadline.
Unexpected mashups are in vogue in skyscraper design lately, with Mercedes and Bentley themed towers two notable examples.

We usually associate friendship with human behavior, considering our exclusive domain. And that’s a fair assumption, as we don't often find animals boasting cooperative relationships beyond their blood relatives. The only complex "friend-like" relationship seen in vertebrates is known as cooperative breeding, in which two individuals assist in raising the young. Yet, for African starlings, the bonds they form go far beyond mere parenting duties.

Horizon Aircraft just made aviation history, becoming the first eVTOL to achieve a stable wing-borne flight transition using a fan-in-wing design with its "large-scale" Cavorite X7 demonstrator. The best part is that this particular aircraft is meant to be just that, a conventional aircraft – that just happens to be able to take off and land vertically like a helicopter.

We've been looking closely at the reinvigorated ultralight freestanding backpacking tent segment lately, but it hasn't escaped us that there are much lighter ways of sheltering down in the backwoods. They just tend to offer a little less protection and require a little more set-up finesse. The Hyperlite Bug Bivy is about as light as a full-body shelter gets, designed to pack down to water bottle size and carry easily on the longest of journeys. At camp, it provides full protection from the biting bugs that would otherwise make the entire trip miserable.

As an American who has been living in Portugal and studying the language sporadically for about 18 months, I'm finally at the point where I can hold a basic conversation – if I know what subject we're focusing on. So at the supermarket checkout counter, or the bank, I'm good. Plop me in the middle of a bus station though, and the conversations swirling around me devolve into a series of shhhzzs and ows from which I have trouble picking out even a single word, let alone an entire sense of meaning.

It was just this past week that we told you about the T-Apex, a mobile tennis-ball-serving robot that tracks and assesses players' returns. Well, the Acemate bot goes a step further, by actually rallying back and forth with players to really hone their skills.
