This recent example of shipping container-based architecture is a lot more comfortable than most. It involved transforming three of them into a spacious home complete with a rooftop terrace and even a sauna.

The Nordic Nook is a not-so-tiny house designed for a comfortable full-time life on wheels. It features a single-level layout for two and includes a well-equipped kitchen, an open living area, and not just one but two porches.

Based on timeless, inalterable physics, the Aerohart Aviator's Ember fire piston sparks a flame with nothing more than tinder, air and a quick smack of the hand. Now the tool has been fully redesigned and improved to work even better.

The new Wild Land Pickupmate Trunk is an impressive piece of truck camping kit that fuses several different products into one. It's not quite a rooftop tent, not quite a pickup camping topper and not quite a basic truck cap. It's all three.

In the near future, a building's emergency lighting, fire alarms, sensors and other items could be powered not by generators or batteries, but by the actual structural material. That's because scientists have developed a cement-based supercapacitor.

The Hyundai Tucson has traditionally been classified as a compact SUV. However, the next-gen model is packed with cutting-edge tech, and is noticeably longer, wider, and taller than its predecessor. So much so it hardly feels like a "compact" car anymore.

Although electric motors do help kayaks fight headwinds and currents, they also add weight, complexity and the potential for getting snagged. The FluxJet system may change that, with a sub-5-lb electric jet drive module that fits into the hull.

The Bürstner Signature teased such a compelling mix of sleek fiberglass construction, cutting-edge transforming spaces, and luxe trim, we expected it to price in well over €100K. Instead, it starts well under.

Back in 2014, e-mobility company AEMotion set out to "combine the agility of a motorcycle with the safety profile of a four-wheeled vehicle." After much prototyping, its two-person tilting creation is up for pre-order ahead of production next year.

As it heads out of the solar system never to return, the deep space probe Voyager 1 is headed for yet another cosmic milestone. In late 2026, it will become the first spacecraft to travel so far that a radio signal from Earth takes 24 hours, or one light day, to reach it.

The Kimbo camper has always felt to us less an RV and more a stylish backcountry hut secured to a pickup bed. Now, Kimbo makes that hut a little larger by launching an 8-foot model for full-size trucks.

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.

Following construction restarting earlier this year, more details have been revealed on what is arguably the world's most ambitious architecture project: the mind-bogglingly tall JEC Tower, which is currently rising in Saudi Arabia.
