Tiny houses are usually a compromise between livability and portability, but this model's clever design offers the best of both. Its loft roofs provide full standing height in its bedrooms when stationary, and fold down to allow for easier travel.

Even without noses, octopuses are able to determine which food sources are good to eat and which have gone past their prime simply by touching them. The secret, says a new study, lies with surface microbiomes and some very sensitive suckers.

Talk about thinking small: researchers at Harvard University have devised a new way to implant flexible bioelectronic devices in the embryos of frogs, mice, and lizards, enabling them to monitor brain activity as these creatures develop.

Teenage Engineering has put its unique stamp on budget and high-end audio gear over the years, but has also ventured outside of its box on occasion. The latest example of that is an electric moped/scooter called the epa-1, developed with Vässla.

Twenty-one-year-old backyard scientist Julian Brown nukes plastic trash in a homemade microwave pyrolysis reactor, turning bags and bottles into a chunky sludge he refines into a gasoline alternative he calls "plastoline."

If you like portable yet capable camp stoves, then you'll probably like the FireNest. Sporting an all-titanium body, it folds flat when not in use, and can be quickly assembled to let you sear, grill, boil, or just plain ol' cook over an open flame.

The US Navy has tidied up after itself by, for the first time, launching and recovering a Yellow Moray Unmanned Underwater Vehicle (UUV) through the standard torpedo tube of a Virginia class nuclear attack submarine.

Scientists have created a hydrogel “rest stop” that shields cancer-fighting T cells, delaying their exhaustion and boosting their killing power. The game-changing strategy could supercharge immunotherapy, giving T cells time to regroup and hit harder.

A floating test platform that uses sea water, air, and wind to make completely clean hydrogen has begun operations off Germany's North Sea coast. The modular system also has a few other green-energy tricks up its sleeve.

Proving that you can't keep a good technology down, Reaction Engines' Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine (SABRE) has a new lease on life after a British-led consortium announced Invictus, a new program to build a Mach 5+ spaceplane.

As is the case with cameras, the best flashlight is always gonna be the one you have on you. The NanoB9 is likely to fit that bill, as it packs three colors of light and nine operational modes into a "coin-sized" dual-magnet-packing body.

Marking a major shift in personal AI, OpenAI has released ChatGPT Agent, taking things well beyond chat – it can browse the web, run code, manage files and complete tasks across apps. It’s the first real AI assistant that doesn’t just answer but acts.
