You probably own a few reusable water bottles, but the Larq Bottle PureVis made me realize how much money I've wasted over the years.

Instead of describing the action with words, like a radio announcer might, Action Audio translates visual scenes into a series of information-dense sounds.

Grass is the ideal playing surface for football, and that's not an accident. The turf that the NFL uses is the culmination of centuries of selective breeding.

Seven years ago, the NFL started tracking players with RFID tags. Now, all the data it has captured is causing some significant changes to the game.

From the ashes of Concorde, a new company called Boom Supersonic is making moves to bring faster-than-sound passenger planes back to the skies.

Geoengineers say we could slow global warming by spraying reflective particles in the stratosphere — but doing so could also have unintended consequences.

To find out more about how to identify and track asteroids approaching Earth, and how global cooperation can keep our planet safe, we spoke to an expert.

Digital Trends interviews Dr. Friederike Otto about her book Angry Weather: Heat Waves, Floods, Storms, and the New Science of Climate Change.

NEON is an ecological observatory with 81 sites across the U.S. For 30 years, it will gather scientific data about climate and biodiversity.

Every week, Digital Trends combs through crowdfunding sites like Kickstarter and Indiegogo to round up all the best gadgets, gizmos, and gear currently in preproduction. If you're looking for innovative ideas, keep an eye on this column. This week's offerings include a Backyard biodigester.

Whether it's embedded sensors or autonomous robots, cities are going to get a whole lot smarter in the 2020s. But some super ambitious developments are leading the way by building whole new city developments built around the latest tech. Here are 5 such projects to keep an eye on.
