Join the ok smart-ass team as they delve into dreams, science and the technology of life and death. Feed your curiosity at oksmartass.com

Diesel and petrol cars to be banned in Europe. Medical experiments into magic mushrooms are being combined with VR, and looking at your phone too much could make you dumb and dumber.
