• Touchscreen shirt shows photos, plays videos, and answers calls

  28-10-2026 20:04 via Popular Science
  
  Engineers and computer scientists have spent the better part of the past 15 years trying to integrate mobile phone technology into clothing. The closest example of these so-called “smart clothes” becoming a retail reality came in 2017, when blue jean behemoth Levi teamed up with Google to release its Jacquard trucker jacket. On the surface, it looked just like the iconic denim original, but its cuff had touch sensors and haptic feedback built in. By fiddling with those inputs, wearers could

• Dog’s paw print found in a 3,700-year-old brick

  Archaeological relics often leave a lot to the imagination. Corroded jewelry and the tattered remnants of ancient clothing only tell part of a much larger story, but sometimes an object offers up a bit more detail. Occasionally, an artifact such as a piece of pottery is so well-preserved that even its creator’s signature is still legible thousands of years later.In Turkey, archaeologists recently excavated an unexpectedly pristine example of one Bronze Age artist’s proof-of-authenticity.

• Bear with multiple tapeworms sticking out of its butt wins award

  28-10-2026 18:17 via Popular Science
  
  As intestinal parasites go, tapeworms are the stuff of nightmares. Though they can grow over 80 feet long in extreme cases, they often measure less than one-inch-wide. The intestinal parasites feast on their hosts, sucking valuable nutrients from mammals. And then there’s the havoc they wreak on bear butts. One bear spotted in southeastern Alaska’s Tongass National Forest this summer knows all about that. The unnamed bear was spotted with multiple long tape worms poking out of its butt as i

• ‘Hell chicken’ dinosaur likely dined on fruit, not meat

  28-10-2026 16:02 via Popular Science
  
  Don’t let the name fool you: Infernogallus jamesi, aka the “hell chicken,” wasn’t some kind of ancient apex poultry. After extensively reviewing some of the most complete fossilized remains ever found of this Cretaceous era dinosaur, paleontologists now theorize the beaked species didn’t even enjoy meat at all. Instead, soft fruits were on the menu. The findings do more than simply repair the reputation of a turkey-sized dinosaur. In a study recently published in Nature Communications,

• 2026 Audio Awards: 40 products to upgrade your listening experience

  28-10-2026 14:59 via Popular Science
  
  Last year, we started a tradition. For our second annual roundup of outstanding audio gear, we worked even harder to find the highlights. From October 2025 to October 2026, we sat our ears down in hotel suites and a Honda Fit, toured factory floors and demo rooms with the same criteria as last year: make us feel something. What we found were headphones, earbuds, speakers, and sources ranging from close to $100 to nearly $100,000 … something for everyone, let’s say. But enough talk. Let’s p
