A standard routine to protect hair from heat damage is actually turning your bathroom into a dangerous emissions zone, as scientists find that just 10-20 minutes of styling with common products results in some 10 billion ultrafine particles being inhaled straight to the lungs – akin to standing next to a busy road in peak hour or smoking several cigarettes.

This one's purely for competitive gamers and hardcore PC builders itching for weapons-grade hardware.

The next time you need to have a truly private conversation over the phone, you'll need to account for a whole new way by which people can snoop on you. Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have discovered that the vibrations of the earpiece inside your phone – the one that's active when you're holding the handset to your ear – can be picked up by a radar sensor from a distance, converted into audio, and transcribed using AI.

For the past few years, Australia's Hardkorr Campers has been on a tear expanding its compact Xplorer camper trailer series. But what good is a small, nimble "hardkorr" all-terrain camper if you can't bring along your favorite toys to wring the most fun out of those long days in the wilderness? The all-new Xplorer Toy Hauler solves the problem by putting a gear-hauling flatbed in back of the camper canopy, offering space for up to three dirt bikes or one ATV. Hardkorr adds in a slew of tricks to make both toy loading and base camping a breeze.

It's a sad and inconvenient fact that many drugs have to be administered in the form of a slow intravenous (IV) drip, as opposed to a single quick injection. That may be about to change, however, thanks to a new take on an existing "spray drying" technique.

It’s common advice to drink more water for energy, appetite control and clearer skin – but researchers have now demonstrated that hydration plays an even deeper role in health. It influences how our bodies react, hormonally, to stress, keeping cortisol in check and in turn lowering the risk of many serious health conditions. It's the first study to show that fluid intake influences cortisol reactivity to stress.

We expect new cars to be better than old cars, given how much engineering and legislative effort goes into improving them. So when you update your daily driver, a move that most of us experience as quite costly, it can be hard to accept that its user-friendliness has gone backwards in certain respects.
