The ModRetro Chromatic, designed to play old Game Boy cartridges, has proved incredibly popular. Now, the handheld, in all its original colorways, is back after a year of unavailability, but with a few changes.

This was the first joint US-Russian human spaceflight mission, laying the foundation for a strained but enduring partnership on th

The first babies have been born following “simplified” IVF in a mobile lab

technologyreview.com Jessica Hamzelou 2026-03-04 21:00:00

While IVF is increasingly commonplace in wealthy countries—around 12% of all births in Spain result from such procedures—it remains expensive and isn’t always covered by insurance or national health providers. And it’s even less accessible in low-income countries—especially for people who live in rural areas. People often assume that countries with high birth rates don’t need access to fertility treatments, says Gerhard Boshoff, an embryologist at the University of Pretoria in South Africa. Sub
