Biologists at Indiana University have created a beetle with a functional extra eye, in the hope of studying the genetic building blocks that define how the insect head develops. To create the three-eyed beetle, the scientists used a simple genetic tool to deactivate a single gene in the insect’s genome. Previous research had shown the gene plays a role in telling the head how to form. Nerve connectionsIn tests of the third eye, the team found that it had the same cell types, the same nerve conne

I’ve only just reviewed the new Razer Phone, but the company’s CEO, Min-Liang Tan, has already been in touch about what you can expect going forward from its first ever handset. Tan tweeted me directly to raise some points about the Razer Phone after reading my review, and the CEO confirmed that the camera will see improvements with software updates.

Dolby Atmos is perhaps the most advanced sound system in the world, and alt-rock pioneers R.E.M. Dolby Atmos is an object-based audio system that’s increasingly used in cinemas around the world, and is finally trickling down into home cinema set-ups, too. Mike Mills and Michael Stipe of R.E.M., speaking at Dolby HQ in LondonIt’s impressive tech, but even R.E.M. Michael Stipe, R.E.M. But if it can inspire a return to the ritual of record playing, that lost art of just listening, to quote R.E.M it

During my Doom VFR hands-on demo on PS4 I used two PlayStation Move controllers. The biggest change Doom VFR makes is the use of teleportation to move around the levels. It’s hard not to have fun playing Doom VFR. Let’s not forget, Doom VFR is a standalone experience and a new game with some fresh levels rather than a firmware update. Doom VFR is a different Doom than what we’re used to, but it’s still a deadly VR experience and it has the potential to could be one of this year’s PlayStation VR

Mid-range enthusiast DSLRs offer more power, robustness and control than typical entry-level DSLR models. Although enthusiast DSLRs don’t tend to offer more megapixels than their entry-level siblings, you’ll often get an increased ISO sensitivity range to help with low light shooting.

But just because these DSLRs are intended for enthusias

The well-known collaboration and project management software suffered from an extremely worrying security hole, according to the BBC – although the issue has now been fixed, you’ll doubtless be pleased to hear. It doesn’t come more worrying than sensitive financial data being exposed in such a manner, apparently due to a bug in Huddle’s systems. Huddle told the BBC that this particular bug had affected six user sessions since March of this year. As mentioned, Huddle has now fixed this problem, e

Microsoft has revealed a range of tempting deals it will have on the boil for Black Friday on the computing front, including big discounts for its new Surface Pro hybrid and Windows Mixed Reality headsets (along with Xbox deals which we’ve highlighted here).

Getting into characterWeta Digital’s motion capture studios are tucked away in a quiet, nondescript part of Wellington, not far from the capital city’s hillside suburbs.

The Samsung Galaxy S9 might be just months away and there’s a high chance the Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus will land alongside it, but so far we don’t know much about that larger phone.

We’re just a couple of days away from the November 16 launch of the OnePlus 5T, but there might not be much left to reveal, especially now that a benchmark has seemingly listed the phone’s specs in full. A GFXBench listing points to a phone a lot like the OnePlus 5, but with a 6-inch 1080 x 2160 screen, which is up in both size and resolution from the 5.5-inch 1080 x 1920 OnePlus 5 screen. We’ve heard that before, so there’s a good chance it’s true, but elsewhere the listed specs are identical t

At HTC’s Vive Developer Conference, the company finally got to show off its upcoming standalone headset to the Beijing crowd – the Vive Focus . Designed to be an all-in-one device, the Focus won’t need to be hooked up to a powerful desktop PC in order to run and won’t have the same interactivity constraints that mobile VR currently has.
