You could be forgiven for thinking this extraordinary building was dreamed up as an alien megastructure for a sci-fi movie. However, the Yidan Center, by Zaha Hadid Architects, is indeed very much real and is currently nearing completion.

First Japan wants to make space sake and now China has been roasting New Orleans-style chicken wings and black pepper steaks in a specially made hot-air oven aboard its Tiangong space station, according to China's Global Times state news service.

China showed off its ambitions for space in the 21st century as its first reusable heavy booster, the ZhuQue-3 (ZQ-3) Y1 from the Landspace company, conducted its first static firing at the Jiuquan Satellite Launch Center in northwest China.

China has finished construction of what’s being billed as the world’s first wind-powered underwater data center. The project, which cost around 1.6 billion yuan (US$226 million), marks a bold step in green, high-performing computing infrastructure.

Xpeng's AeroHT flying car unit has rebranded after an embarrassing air show fireball, and the Chinese company has announced a very Joby-esque long-range, high-speed air taxi to go along with some of its more bizarre offerings.

It’s usually CFMoto making these kinds of headlines, but this time, an unlikely manufacturer has churned out a rather exciting motorcycle from its stable. And it might well go on to be the most exciting offering in the middleweight moto segment.

Honda has sent motorcycle enthusiasts into a state of frenzy by revealing the CB500 Super Four retro standard and CBR500R Four sportbike at this year's CIMAMotor show in Chongqing, China. Both models are scheduled to launch in early 2026.

CFMoto is not resting on its laurels, having just recently revealed its first-ever inline-four sports motorcycle. The Chinese bikemaker has just revamped its lineup for America with some exciting motos that make the brand hard to ignore.

CFMoto has unveiled the all-new 2026 750SR-S, which becomes its first inline-four motorcycle. The 749cc motor produces 110 hp and 59 lb.ft of torque – not exactly groundbreaking numbers. But it will be incredible value for money, typical of CFMoto.

It was only a matter of time until we got the first production EV with a semi-solid-state battery. Very few would have put their money on MG to accomplish that feat first. But here we are, and we are not too far away from the car’s official release!

CFMoto has a reputation for creating some of the best value-for-money motorcycles in the world. Add the CFMoto 150 Aura to that list – an all-new retro-styled scooter. It isn’t exactly groundbreaking, but it gets the most important things right.

BYD has launched the Atto 1 (which is basically a repackaged version of BYD’s top-selling electric car in China, the Seagull) in Indonesia. With a starting price of around US$12,000, the Atto 1 becomes one of the most affordable EVs on the market.
