With its substantial size and lack of wheels or trailer, the Evergreen XL isn't a good fit for nomads. It trades portability for a remarkably spacious interior that's closer to an apartment than a traditional tiny house.

Ariel Rider's latest creation is purpose-built for blasting through unforgiving terrain. The Mudd 72V ebike packs enough power to rank it among the fastest ebikes you can buy – and it's got off-road cred to boot.

Earlier in 2026, Airstream debuted a trailer it called the lightest, most aerodynamic in its class, the 22-ft World Traveler. Now it's back with an even lighter variant: a 17-footer with the same style of streamlined exterior and pared-back design

The brand that helped innovate the entire pop-up camper van category is redefining the space. With its latest camper van, Westfalia has determined to offer the space and luxury of a high-end Class A motorhome inside a very average Fiat Ducato van.

On July 3, the Royal Navy applied lessons learned from Ukraine as it successfully launched a strike-capable drone from a vessel underway. Part of Exercise Neptune Reach, the XV Patrick Blackett catapulted a Nyan drone off the south coast of England.

After disappearing from the lineup in 2023, the Jeep Cherokee returns for 2026. Rather than trying to be everything to everyone, the new Cherokee embraces everyday practicality with enough Jeep DNA to make weekend adventures more than just marketing copy.

It seems we may not be the only ones to experience what has come to be called an “uncanny valley” – rhesus macaques also treat semi-realistic avatars of themselves with no small amount of suspicion.

The arrival of Dolly the sheep sparked predictions of a sci-fi future filled with cloned pets, cloned humans and even resurrected extinct animals like the woolly mammoth. But the reality of cloning has turned out to be much more complicated.

A common virus has been used to trigger Parkinson’s-like brain damage and movement problems in mice, giving scientists a new way to study how viral infections may contribute to the disease.

China's eastern coastal region is associated with lower obesity, cardiovascular risk, and higher life expectancy. It's also where, for generations, market stalls selling fresh leafy greens, lotus seed pods, vegetables, tofu, and freshwater fish have shaped the diet of those living there.

The US Drug Enforcement Administration will temporarily classify an over-the-counter supplement likened to heroin as a Schedule I substance under the Controlled Substances Act, in an effort to counter an emerging health crisis across the country.

A recent study builds on previous findings, discovering that people who had experienced a serious heart attack also had higher levels of MNPs than healthy volunteers and patients with chronic ischemic heart disease.

For the last couple of years, Cixi has been working on a three-wheeled vehicle called Vigoz that's based on its chainless pedaling system. A skeletal prototype has been tested to 100 km/h, and now the company has revealed the latest production design.

Transport produces 28% of the greenhouse gas released in the US, and nearly a quarter of that comes from heavy vehicles – more than from passenger cars. Revoy attacks the problem with a smart dolly that creates a hybrid semi truck with two heads.

A team of Australian bodyboarding ratbags has managed to capture staggering footage of an extraordinary oceanic phenomenon: a place where four 12-ft (3.7-m) waves regularly converge into an oval dip, with explosive results.

Researchers in the Netherlands have created mechanical structures that strangely shrink – or more precisely, snap inward – instead of stretching outward when pulled. This 'countersnapping' behavior could find use in tomorrow's soft robots.

A new tower is set to make a major impact on the skyline in Toronto, Canada. One Bloor West is nearing completion and has officially surpassed 984 ft, making it the country's first supertall skyscraper. And it's going to get even taller.

The new Auriga Explorer camper truck looks almost as fast and ferocious as a Dakar rig. But it's made for slow travel, the kind that sees you link together wandering days with cozy nights in a mobile 4-person hut expanded by pop-top and 3 slide-outs.

While there are many uses for soft-bodied robots, the things are still only built in small batches. Scientists are out to change that, with a mass-production-capable soft bot that is 3D-printed in a single piece which walks off of the print bed.
