Exploring the great outdoors doesn't mean you can't enjoy high-quality design and fittings. At least that's the view of Timberleaf. With an insulated cabin, anodized aluminum exterior and beautifully wrought kitchen, the trailer combines rugged capability with an eye for detail.

Scientists have designed a graphene-based transistor that works with ultra-low power consumption and which could ultimately be used to increase the clock speed of processors up to a staggering 100 GHz.

Tiny houses can be built pretty quickly, but the Tiny Task project barely left time for the paint to dry. A group of 10 people built the towable dwelling in just 72 hours before selling it and donating the proceeds to charity.

Beer is one of, if not the, world's oldest prepared beverages. More evidence of this has now come to light with researchers having used ancient relics to piece together a 5,000-year-old beer-making practice, providing what is claimed to be the earliest direct evidence of beer brewing in China.

It's not quite the tricorder from Star Trek, but researchers responsible for a new wearable patch that can monitor the body's biochemical and electrical signals at the same time say their first-of-its-kind device could be a step in that direction.

Autonomous cars might be able to handle highway conditions pretty well, but they're still no match for humans when things get a little more unpredictable. A team at Georgia Tech is looking to change that, using scale autonomous rally cars to improve self-driving technology in hazardous conditions.

One place GPS is of no use to anyone is underwater. But the seas may soon have high-precision positioning systems of their own, through a DARPA program aimed at providing US Navy submersibles with a new means of navigating the ocean's depths. ​

Belgium-based firm Studio Farris Architects offers a nice example of a barn conversion done right with this recently-completed project in West Flanders. The firm turned a dilapidated farm building into an attractive office space with a Jenga-like mezzanine made from stacked timber beams.

A newly-released image taken by the now decommissioned Herschel Space Observatory displays the chaotic structure of the Vulpecula OB1 star formation region.

Project Ara, Google's modular smartphone is intriguing, but we haven't heard much about it - until now. Last week we learned a lot more about how the system works, how it fits into the current landscape of modular phones and why we should be at least cautiously excited about it.

Dezso's nearly ready to race. The Street Wing concept is a fully electric, solar-supported streetable airplane, and the G2 Gyrocycle is a race-focused, 200 mph three-wheeler that's already rolling on the street, and nearly ready to fly.​

India today entered the ranks of spacefaring nations with reusable spacecraft as the Indian Space Research Organisation (ISRO) conducted the first flight of its unmanned, scale hypersonic Reusable Launch Vehicle-Technology Demonstrator (RLV-TD) spaceplane.
