Tonke not only shows the first actual pop-up roof with bed we've seen installed on a VW ID. Buzz, it puts a unique spin on the concept. Its roof mashes together a sideways orientation with a rooftop tent-style design to increase sleeping space.

To find black holes we usually have to look thousands of light-years away. But a new study suggests we could find evidence of them right here on Earth, as tiny tunnels they’ve carved out in rocks or old buildings.

A self-propagating series of explosions, contained between the blades of a high-speed rotor, promises a leap in power and efficiency during hypersonic flight – provided this radical new engine can be built strong enough to withstand its own power.

The Sun is at the most active stage of its 11-year cycle, producing stunning aurora. As expected, that means the latest Northern Lights Photographer of the Year collection captures some of the brightest and most intense light shows we’ve ever seen.

Balloons that trick the stomach into feeling full have long been used for weight loss. But, they become less effective the longer they stay inflated. Engineers have devised a balloon that inflates and deflates on demand – it reduced food intake by 60%.

A few years ago, Verge launched a wild motorcycle with rear wheel so hollow you could stick a leg through it. Now, spinoff company Donut Lab is pursuing new applications for that motor, from stacked-rotor VTOLs to dominating multi-terrain e-machines.

When it comes to technologies used only by humans, you might think that fiber optics would rank right up there. Such is apparently not the case, however, as scientists have discovered that a certain clam uses "fiber optics" of its own to get food.

A 750cc V8 custom superbike that revs over 17,000 rpm sporting one-piece fiberglass bodywork is no joke. It's all the more impressive when you realize this bike was built in the 90s. Aussie engineer Ian Drysdale tells us about this build.

Some historic aircraft seem like a barrel for holding superlatives. One of these, the H-4 Hercules, goes one better because it's also at the center of one of the strangest stories involving possibly the 20th century's strangest man – Howard Hughes.

An innovative mix of readily available natural products shapes up as a long-term alternative to the likes of Ozempic for managing obesity, diabetes, liver health and inflammation – without the injections, cost or side effects associated with GLP-1 drugs.

Here's a neat gadget for a touch of functional, neon-minimalist home decor: a palm-sized smart canister device that fixes onto a wall and uses slim, moving LED beams to create giant, glowing, multicolor clocks and/or temperature gauges.

What felt like a taste of the future for laptop design in 2016 was abandoned by Apple last year as a failed concept. But engineers from Hong Kong think the idea holds much promise, so they've created something similar that works with Mac and Windows.
