When disaster strikes, the power often goes out, and it may be a good while before it's restored. Toyota and Honda start testing the Moving e system this month, a fuel cell bus designed to serve as a mobile power source for disaster relief.

The way things are in our solar system aren't always how they work elsewhere in the universe. Now, astronomers have observed a triple star system that’s warping and splitting its planetary disc into strange new shapes and multiple rings.

To American riders, the Trail 125 will look like a slightly wacky, semi-scramblerized version of the venerable Cub, something like a light off-road scooter. But any Australian biker that sees one will be swept away in a flood of memories.

New data suggests testosterone therapy may be a helpful treatment for some men suffering from obesity. The research finds long-term testosterone therapy can, in some cases, be as effective as bariatric surgery in morbidly obese subjects.

A surprisingly simple new energy storage system is built on blocks that store thermal energy like melted chocolate chips in a muffin. The team says they’re efficient, scalable, safe, inexpensive, and can be used in existing coal-fired power plants.

The brain may be a new drug target for longer term control of diabetes. Two new studies on rodents have investigated how a certain peptide works to induce remission for animals with diabetes, which could lead to new breakthroughs in human treatments.

The UK’s Concours of Elegance has always been select on almost every level, though this year it was significantly more so, bringing together just 60 exceptional cars and showcasing them against the traditional exceptional backdrop.

The winners in this year’s Nature inFocus Photography Awards illustrate the variety of ways wildlife inhabit the natural environment, from a face-off between a hyena and a leopard to a snap of a dolphin leaping out of the ocean in front of a setting sun.

The Jet Capsule isn't an ugly duckling by any means, but designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini imagines a beautiful swan with the Avanguardia. The mega-yacht would feature a small watercraft that would serve as a removable cockpit in this ambitious project.

La Strada started off 2020 by rounding out its fleet with the Nova EB, a compact motorhome with a neatly integrated monocoque that's more than a van, less than a Class C. The new Nova M slims down from there, offering a light, maneuverable footprint.

Today's car designs are mostly variations on a familiar theme, but a hundred years ago, profoundly weird ideas like the Leyat Helica had their chance to compete. Basically a wingless aircraft, it was lightweight, very fast, and a really bad idea.

Researchers in Australia have succeeded in developing an artificial skin that responds to painful stimuli, heat and pressure like real skin does, which they see as an important step towards intelligent machines and prosthetics.
