With its XL dimensions and lack of wheels, this cottage-like tiny house isn't a good fit for would-be nomads. However, what it loses in ease of movement, it makes up for with a spacious and light-filled interior.

Hydrogen production from electrolysis is typically a relatively complex, energy-intensive process. So is wastewater treatment. Yet, scientists have developed an artificial “leaf” that can do both using only solar power.

The 1,153-horsepower Mercedes AMG GT electric SUV rockets to the front of the world’s hyper SUVs, with 0-60-mph in just 2.4 seconds and a vast array of race-bred onboard tech.
