The future world's tallest building has passed a major construction milestone. Saudi Arabia's JEC Tower has now reached 102 floors and is rapidly progressing toward its planned height of more than 3,280 ft.

Supertramp has been quietly launching some of the market's most compelling expedition campers for years. Now it brings adventure van comfort and pricing to a snarling Ford F-350. The all-new Paragon might be the absolute Goldilocks of adventure rigs.

A different breed of Leatherman plier multitool, the Crunch had a set of lockable pliers that emerged via a unique triple-folding action. It was discontinued just a few years ago, but now it's back for one last run. Meet the Captain's Crunch.

With its length of just 24 ft, the Goa is on the smaller side even for a tiny house. However, it has been designed for full-time living and packs in two bedrooms, a practical kitchen, and a bathroom with a bathtub.

This is one of those “I swear I’ve seen that before” moments. MG has officially pulled the covers off its latest and greatest coupe, the 07, and the images are uncanny … resembling the Porsche Taycan in more ways than one.

Hermeus's Quarterhorse aircraft is still pushing the supersonic flight envelope, but the US Department of Defense is already so keen on the concept that it's awarded the company US$159 million to explore the military applications of the technology.

A team of researchers from George Mason University in Virginia, US, has developed a new model to simulate the team dynamics and group behaviours associated with long-term space travel.

People who don’t like to work out will sometimes joke that they’re “allergic” to exercise. But what many don’t realise is that an allergy to exercise is a real thing – and it can be dangerous if not caught in time.

Bumblebees may be smarter than we give them credit for, with a new study showing the fuzzy insects demonstrate the cognitive plasticity required to solve problems they've never encountered before to reach a goal.

A medication commonly given as an off-label treatment for sleep problems may be more risky than thought – and although it's prescribed for obstructive sleep apnea or insomnia, as it often is, we lack the science data needed for safe and informed use.

If you follow wellness channels on social media, you might’ve come across the claim that your grip strength – or how firmly you can squeeze something with your hands – can predict how long you will live.

By starting with the fewest assumptions possible, a team of researchers formed a “bootstrap” rationale suggesting that the properties of a grand theory of everything are likely to look suspiciously string-like.

One of the most interesting concepts revealed at this year's Japan Mobility Show was also one of the simplest. The barebones Toyota IMV Origin concept is potentially one of the most versatile vehicles Toyota (or any automaker) has ever built.

Chinese humanoids are starting to move with extraordinary grace and agility, but Boston Dynamics is the OG in this field, and fresh video of its swivel-jointed Atlas robot running, cartwheeling and breakdancing shows it's still at the bleeding edge.

Fumbling with bindings is nobody's idea of a good time, especially in the cold and the snow. That's why snowboarder Brendan Walker created the Machina MagIC Ride System, which replaces traditional snowboard bindings with magnets.

Dinosaurs may be long extinct, but 2025 made it clear that they’re anything but settled science. New fossils, reanalyses of famous specimens and increasingly sophisticated tools have helped us learn more about how they lived, moved, fed and evolved.

Deep underground in a dark, sulfuric cave, scientists have made an incredible discovery – a giant communal spider web spanning more than 1,000 square feet, home to an estimated 110,000 spiders that defy nature to coexist in harmony.

Precision milling used to mean giant, pricey shop machines out of reach for most makers. You could design the "next big thing," but could you actually build it? Now you can.

I spent a few nights with the Akaso Sight-300 and came away fairly impressed. My previous experiences with night vision have been with very high-end scopes, so I wasn't sure what to expect on something that costs several thousand dollars less.

While cutting back on salt intake has long been a mainstay in treating high blood pressure, new research suggests that upping potassium intake might have a greater effect. It might be time to stock up on bananas, apricots, and sweet potatoes.
