Surgical stitches are good for helping wounds heal, but they can pop open with too much movement. Scientists have now turned that weakness into a strength, developing stitches that generate an electric charge when stretched and heal wounds faster.

Pulled wagons are great for moving stuff around, but tackling heavier loads can be exhausting. Startup Litefar has launched the Orion, a motorized cargo wagon with remote control that can haul up to 180 lb of gear so you don't have to.

There's little doubt that electric dirt bikes will eventually replace gas-powered ones, much like four-strokes replaced two-strokes. The XE4 by Xtreme Electric MX (XEMX) converts Yamaha 250 and 450 YZF/YZFX to high-powered electrics.

Ultraviolette has taken the wraps off the all-new F99, branding it India’s first ever superbike. Drawing its design inspiration from supersonic jets, the bike can go from standstill to 60 mph in 3 seconds on the way to its claimed top speed.

In what shouldn't really come as a surprise, there are now a few different companies offering electric inline skates (aka rollerblades). The AtmosGear skates are unique, however, in that their battery is worn on the user's waist.

NASA scientists have discovered a third global energy field around Earth. Known as the ambipolar electric field, this force drives charged particles into space above the poles and joins the known gravity and electromagnetic fields.

Most mid-size three-row vehicles offer a choice between seven passengers or seven passengers’ stuff. But not simultaneously. Seeing an electric SUV with a usable third row and cargo space ... well, the EV9 just hits right.

Boston Dynamics has unveiled a stronger, more agile, fully electric version of its Atlas humanoid robot. The kinda creepy-looking thing is already slated to enter use on Hyundai's automotive production line.

Australia's Flite has announced its full 2024 range of eFoil boards, which includes a slender lightweight member of the pro-focused Ultra family. The Ultra L2 sports carbon components designed by Marc Newson, and a folding prop from Mercury Marine.

Exploring the world under the waves can be exhilarating, and exhausting. An underwater scooter could help you venture farther and discover more, and the latest from China's LeFeet is currently motoring through Kickstarter.

Fraunhofer scientists have used ultra-thin diamond membranes to drastically cool electronic components and boost electric vehicle charging speeds, taking advantages of diamond's outstanding thermal conductivity.

It’s a fundamental principle of physics that particles with opposite charges attract each other, while those with the same charge repel. Scientists have now discovered that under certain conditions, particles can attract those of the same charge.
