Johan Auwerx of the Federal Polytechnic School in Switzerland and his colleagues have developed a "supermouse" that can gain a significant amount of weight without developing Type-2 diabetes.

In their attempts to study the effects of clinical stress, researchers at UCLA might have very well stumbled upon the cure to baldness.

I typically don’t think of rodents when I think of how to break the ice on a first date. I just never made that association. I’m not Richard Gere. But this bizarre Mouse Assisted Interplay system allows two socializing love birds to walk around wearing a mobile mouse nest, allowing your mouse to interact with your partner’s mouse, supposedly spurring ...

I’d be scared shitless to leave these Trypticon Transforming Laser Mouse gadgets alone. They could cause some serious damage if they aren’t properly supervised. Think about it. What if they see a tasty real life mouse skitter across your office floor. They are likely to snap their own cable as they pounce. That’s me for ya! Always one step ahead. ...

I knew this day would come. The day I attempt to go on a beautiful vacation to Mars, only to realize that I’m really a secret agent fighting against an evil and corrupt Mars administrator. Yes, Total Recall. Dr. Joe Z. Tsien, a brain scientist and co-director of the Brain & Behavior Discovery Institute at the Medical College of Georgia ...

Who says busted technology can’t have a second chance? After her brother backed over his own iPod with a car, Crafster.org user Stefferroo posted this DIY project directly inspired by the Nintendo controller mouse. She magically turned a ruined iPod into a working mouse. Don’t let the screen fool you, this MP3 player does not play music at all but ...

For those of you that have siblings you want to keep away from your PC, the Mousetrap Mouse Pad is the ideal solution. I mean, it’s just a mouse pad and at the same time looks like so much more. Aside from being a standard mouse pad, probably made of a rubber, it looks like a mouse trap and that ...
