Specdrums has been designed for folks who just can't contain their inner rhythm, which breaks out in the form of finger drumming on any surface within reach. The smart ring wirelessly connects to a smartphone running an app and transforms finger taps on colors from everyday objects into sounds.

​The idea of a small, portable, electrified skateboard like the Kuickwheel Serpent-C​ is intriguing. We can imagine ourselves going Tony Hawk all over the place on a board that propels itself. The reality is that most of us can't really board that well. But that doesn't mean we can't have fun.

A team from the University of Antwerp is developing a robotic sign language interpreter. The first version of the robot hand, named Project Aslan, is mostly 3D-printed and can translate text into fingerspelling gestures.

Rovr has reimagined the cooler, going beyond the bear-proof, rotomolded construction so common on the market these days. It calls its cooler an "all-terrain attacking, gear-hauling beast of burden that can go anywhere you can" and follows through with pneumatic tires, a cargo bin and a bike hitch.

If trolls really did live under bridges, they could do worse than commission Fernando Abellanas to build them a new home. The self-taught designer recently installed a novel shelter under an anonymous traffic bridge in Valencia that includes shelving, seating, and even a sleeping space.

When Nikola Motors started advertising outrageous specs like 520 hp for its Zero all-electric side-by-side, we figured there was no way those specs would survive the journey to market. However, not only have those specs survived as Nikola prepares for production, some have actually grown.

For many people, adding anything to a single malt whisky is close to sacrilege, but adding a drop or two of water to lesser blends enhances the flavor. The question is, why? At Sweden's Linnaeus University, researchers have come up with an answer from a molecular perspective.

Engineers have developed a new "4D" single-lens, light field camera that greatly enhances robotic vision. The new system uses a spherical lens and algorithms to capture information across a 138-degree field of view to allow robots to not only navigate, but also better understand their environment.

The Vegas to Reno race is the longest-distance offroad race in the United States. This year, Baja 1000 dominators Hall Racing have teamed up with Chevrolet to put a Colorado ZR2 pickup into the mix. For the most part, the truck is stock with just a handful of modifications for this competition.

In 2015, video of a semi-automatic handgun being fired from a custom-built drone went viral. Now a Florida-based startup has unveiled the TIKAD, a custom-built multirotor that can carry and fire various military weapons, including semi-automatic rifles and grenade launchers.

I love my Nolan flip-face helmets, I really do, but Nolan has a high-end brand, X-Lite, that makes similar gear using lightweight, luxurious materials and a sportier approach. It's time to step up and see what you get for a few hundred extra dollars with the flagship X1004 and BX-5 Bluetooth system.

Gemstones might not seem so valuable if they literally rained from the sky, but that's thought to be a common weather pattern on ice giant planets. Now scientists at the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory have seen it in action here on Earth, by making it rain diamonds in the lab.
