The Leitner Designs ACS Roof is a fully integrated automotive cargo system that flips the rooftop cargo box on its side. By doing so, it serves as a quick-access locker that owners can pop open for grabbing contents without climbing on the roof.

Researchers have developed a groundbreaking method of storing and handling valuable biological materials that removes the limitations of refrigerated storage. The novel method has potential applications in healthcare and scientific research.

In recent years, we've seen a tent, trailer and camp bed designed for use with the Tesla Model Y electric SUV. The new Complete Tesla Camper Kit, however, is intended to convert the vehicle into a full-on self-contained mini camper.

Energy prices around the world have been rising alarmingly since 2021. While some have shared advice on how to heat the person rather than the home, researchers at KTH are working on a building material that could help regulate indoor temperatures.

It's always a shame when you buy fresh produce, only to have it spoil in the fridge before you can use it. The Aurora system is designed to keep that from happening, using a combination of ultraviolet light and vacuum packing.

While wide, flat, cardboard boxes may be a traditional part of the pizza-delivery experience, they're certainly not ideal for storing leftover slices. That's where the collapsible, airtight Pizza Pack is designed to come in.

Pin-Up Houses is known for creating unique designs. However, the firm's latest model, a shed/storage space named Gardenrobe, mixes together such disparate features as solar power, rainwater collection, and even a chicken coop.

Samsung has added a tough cookie to its T7 range of portable solid state drives. The T7 Shield is designed for creators in the field looking for fast data transfer and secure storage in a SSD that can survive 3-m drops and is waterproof too.

Back in 2017 we caught wind of an interesting energy system designed to store solar power in liquid form for years at a time. By hooking it up to an ultra-thin thermoelectric generator, the team has now demonstrated that it can produce electricity.

Researchers in Japan have shown that a common material is excellent at storing and releasing heat, which could be useful for recycling industrial waste heat. The material exchanges water with the air, allowing it to quickly absorb or release heat.

Four years ago we first heard about a lockable weatherproof pod called the Alpen Bike Capsule, designed for securely storing bicycles outdoors. The latest incarnation of the device is not only larger, but also features an electronic locking system.

Not all cyclists enjoy having multi-tools, flat repair kits or CO2 cartridges crammed into their jersey pockets when they ride. That's where the stache system comes in, as it allows such gear to be stored in a bottle … which still also carries water.
