There seems to be a weird trend popping up of late. Electric motorcycles packaged as café racers, bundled as more than just commuters – but rather a style statement, a fashion piece if you will. We’ve got another one of these, but to be honest, calling it a proper motorcycle would be a stretch.Say hello to the Tromox M05, a café racer motorcycle by design, but realistically, it’s an ebike when you take a look at its specs. It comes from China, from a company that’s sort of earned quite a reputation for affordable electric two-wheelers loaded with tech.Tromox dubs…

Elijah Nouvelage/Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Elijah Nouvelage/Getty Images In a historic vote, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s vaccine advisers recommended narrowing the agency’s hepatitis B immunization guidance for newborns. The result, if approved by the CDC’s acting director, will be a rollback of a universal recommendation to start hepatitis B immunization at birth, a standard practice in the U.S. for more than 30 years that has been credited with dramatically lowering…

Provuu is a brand from Switzerland, where they know exactly what is needed for a good day on the slopes – even when the weather is bad. The company’s downhill ski goggles are now on Kickstarter, and if you’ve ever had to cancel a ski day due to low visibility, this might be the season’s must-have gadget.Disorienting flat light, clouds, fog, and full white-out blizzards are major causes of skiing and snowboarding injuries, and being suddenly caught in such conditions is no fun, to say the least. The team behind the project took on the challenge of solving this problem…

The hepatitis B virus attacks the liver. Hepatitis B has no cure, and chronic infection can lead to serious outcomes such as liver cancer, cirrhosis and death. angelp/iStockphoto/Getty Images hide caption toggle caption angelp/iStockphoto/Getty Images For more than three decades, it has been routine to give all newborns in the U.S. the hepatitis B vaccine. That could soon change. An advisory committee to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention is expected to vote Friday on whether to rescind that universal recommendation.

After two decades in the making, scientists have cracked the code on a drug that can repair DNA, setting the scene for a new class of therapeutics that can fix tissue damage that occurs through heart attack, inflammatory disease and other conditions.Researchers at Cedars-Sinai made the breakthrough after first developing a technique to isolate progenitor cells from the heart. These cells, much like stem cells, can form new healthy tissue but in a more targeted way. In other words, these cells taken from the heart can help restore function to that organ. Medical scientist Eduardo Marbán – then at Johns…

Although underwater scooters may offer users an aquatic “thrill ride,” many of the things don’t go much faster than the person could swim on their own. Such is not the case with the Sublue Vapor, however, which tops out at a speed of 10 km/h (6 mph).So first of all, although 10k an hour might not sound like much, keep in mind that an average fin-wearing snorkeler swims no faster than about 5 km/h (3 mph). Even the last Sublue model we heard about, the Seabow, has a top speed of about 6.5 km/h (4 mph).So yeah, the Vapor is…
