This video segment adapted from NOVA describes the effect of exercise on the body and defines one measure used to gauge aerobic fitness. VO2 max (maximal volume of oxygen uptake) is a measurement of how well the body gets and consumes the oxygen that muscles need in order to sustain activity. Learn
Cue intuitive operation in the new Golf: one such feature is the ability to control the optional “Air Care Climatronic” 3-zone air conditioning system using the Smart Climate menu. Individual functions such as “Warm up feet” or “Demist windows” can be selectively activated – not only by pressing a b
How can headlights illuminate the road perfectly without blinding other traffic? For decades, the solution was to switch manually between high and low beam — until technological developments made an automatically responding matrix headlight possible. Scientists are now conducting further research in
How dangerous could artificial intelligence turn out to be, and how do we develop ethical, safe and beneficial AI? Risk Bites dives into AI risk and AI ethics, with ten potential risks of AI we should probably be paying attention to now, if we want to develop the technology safely, ethically, and b
If a plant has enough water, minerals and energy it will grow right? Well sort of… but there is more to it - like why do plants bend towards the light and not just grow straight? And how come the stem grows up but the roots grow down? It isn’t as if a plant has eyes to tell it where the sun is. Pl

Manoeuvring with a trailer can become a test of patience for the uninitiated, for the combination does not always respond as you might expect. The steering angle is decisive for precise reversing: the optional Trailer Assist assumes the steering function. The driver simply needs to select reverse, p
Scientific evidence strongly suggests that different regions on Earth do not respond equally to increased temperatures. Ice-covered regions appear to be particularly sensitive to even small changes in global temperature. This video segment adapted from NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center details how
You’ve heard it before and you’ll hear it again, smoking is terrible for you. Cigarettes are packed with toxins like carbon monoxide, which binds to blood cells and prevents them from bonding with oxygen. There are numerous risks associated with smoking, including heart attacks, coronary heart disea
