Developing a zero-emissions fuel-cell off-roader to compete in Baja 1000 is hard enough. But using cryogenic liquid hydrogen that stores at -423 ºF as fuel? That's just lunacy. Lunacy reigns at SCG, where a cryo-hydrogen Baja Boot is in development.

While there are camera-equipped toothbrushes that let users see how well they're cleaning their teeth, the Zaamigo goes considerably further. It uses AI to analyze the photos it shoots, in order to monitor the health of its user's teeth and gums.

A new McDonald's has been designed with sustainability in mind. Hailed by the fast-food giant as the UK's "first Net Zero Carbon Restaurant," it was built using recycled materials and features solar panels and wind turbines for its energy needs.

Multi-necked guitars are nothing new of course, examples include Luca Stricagnoli's Reversed Slide Neck, Rick Nielsen's five-neck Hamer, and the beautifully bizarre Manzer Pikasso. The Hydra follows a similar path, but does so with monstrous style.

How do whales gulp down huge amounts of water and krill without drowning themselves with every mouthful? Researchers have now discovered an “oral plug” in the throats of some species that blocks either their airways or esophagus as needed.

Perovskite solar cells have come a long way in a short time, but there’s still room for improvement. Engineers have now added a layer of quantum dots to the recipe, resulting in a more stable solar cell with near-record efficiency.

Whether you're jet-setting abroad or traveling for business, the Rollux 2-in-1 Expandable Suitcase transforms from a standard carry-on to a full-sized suitcase in a matter of seconds, designed to be your go-to suitcase for all trips, big or small.

Scientists have developed an advanced new type of humidity sensor inspired by camel noses that is capable of detecting low levels of water molecules in the air, giving it the potential to help find water sources in extreme environments.

An experimental drug under investigation as a potential cancer treatment has shown exciting potential in an entirely unrelated field of medicine, with scientists finding it confers benefits for weight loss and metabolic health in mice.

Scientists have developed an advanced new brain sensor that promises to take the safety and efficiency of cancer and epilepsy treatment into new terrain, by recording electrical signals in record-breaking resolution.

Rivian and Under Canvas have teamed up to offer Waypoints charging stations at two of the latter's safari-style glamping resorts. The resorts will expand Rivian's presence in Southern Utah, an always-popular off-road adventure destination.

Rope tows certainly make life easier if you're skiing at a groomed, established hill, but what if you're more into backcountry skiing? Well, that's where the Zoa PL1 comes in, as it's a portable rope tow that you set up yourself.
