How the brand-defining role of the Mercedes-Benz grille has changed over time1900 was a breakthrough year in the early days of the automobile. It marked the first time Wilhelm Maybach fitted his invention, the honeycomb radiator, to the Mercedes 35 PS. The patented design solved the problem of cooling the internal combustion engine once and for all, and enabled the production of vehicles that were not only more powerful but also more reliable. Because the radiator stood front and centre on the vehicle, it had an immediate impact on brand image. A new era had begun. Competitors rushed to imitate – a front end with an upright radiator was standard practice around the world until well into the 1930s. Now, more than 120 years later, here we are again. The battery-electric Mercedes-EQ vehicles are bringing a new, distinctive face to the brand with the three-pointed star – with their Black Panel grille melding seamlessly with the headlamps while doubling up as technology hub.

When students order food, the program compares their face to the database and automatically deducts money from their account. Students never have to bring cash or cards with them to school and payment becomes quicker and more efficient, but what do you think about the privacy issues?

Are you a male who is considering having a baby? How much do you know about male fertility? Here's a device that could help. This is Trak, the world’s first 'DIY' retail sperm count test, which helps men keep track of their sperm levels. The pocket tester, which can perform a sperm count in a sample in as little as 5 minutes, was showcased at the 2017 SXSW festival in Austin, Texas, on Wednesday. The device spins a test with a sperm sample before storing the results in a smartphone app. Users can then track and improve their own sperm count through the app by offering guidelines on making lifestyle adjustments which can have a large impact on sperm count. The kit is due to hit the shelves with the retail price of $50.
