I’ve been very vocal about just how far Norton has come in its comeback. I’ve loved the new design direction the brand has taken, and having personally ridden their new crop of motorcycles, I can honestly say that the TVS-backed British brand might be onto something.

Autism’s striking sex difference has long presented researchers with a puzzle. Why are boys diagnosed around three to four times as often as girls, when the genes associated with autism aren’t confined to either group?

When it comes to designing modern robots, various researchers are all trying to solve pretty much the same problem: how to make robots that can reach places difficult for humans to access. They’ve come up with robots that can swim underwater, crawl through rubble, and land on tree branches like birds.

Dometic is a brand name so ubiquitous across the RV market, you're unlikely to go a full day in the segment without seeing it pop up somewhere – a stove, an air conditioner, a sink. Over the past decade, the Swedish staple has moved well beyond traditional motorhomes and caravans, into lighter, more flexible types of vehicle-based camping, purchasing brands like overlanding pioneer Front Runner while launching its own RV-without-the-RV hardware. The new Out-Post rooftop tent (RTT) brings those two worlds closer together. It looks like a standard family tent on the outside but comes embellished inside with RV-like features such as a room divider, convertible sofa-bed and stowable dining table.

For all the engineering packed into modern electric toothbrushes, cleaning your teeth still largely amounts to little more than sweeping a miniature broom around your mouth to inconvenience your tiny squatters.

Meet Aria, Mila, Dave and Amar – the first four models coming out of Las Vegas-based humanoid company Realbotix. To make them more affordable than what consumers are likely to have to pay for ambulatory humanoids for at least a few years, the makers have decided to focus on the top half.

While robot dogs feel like old news now, setting them the challenge of racing up more than 3,000 uneven stone steps on the side of a mountain is more than just to show off what machines with legs can do. It's a huge lesson in their training.

Since launching in 2025, the Kia PV5 has brought some big, new energy to the camper van scenes in debut markets like South Korea and Europe. And we're not talking solely about its all-electric energy, but about the fact that it's becoming something of a modern day Volkswagen T1 in offering a fun-sized base van representing boundless road-trip freedom. Now, another continent gets to experience that same energy, as KombiLife brings to market what it hails as "Australia's first PV5 camper:" the Kia Weekender.

It's all very well and good to hear what big companies like Apple and Toyota are up to, but if you really want to be inspired, there's nothing like seeing what regular folks have made in their own backyards and garages. Quandell Williams is just such a maker, and his DIY weatherproof ebike enclosure is definitely inspirational.

I’ve covered a few AR helmets here before. And almost every time, I’ve seen someone comment: "Do we really need any more distractions on a motorcycle?" Swiss company Aegis Rider certainly doesn’t seem to think that way.

German engineering isn’t quite like anyone else’s. And time and again, the world has witnessed the truth in this belief. Be it Porsche’s obsession with extracting every last ounce of performance from a flat-six or Mercedes-AMG’s ability to turn family sedans into tyre-shredding monsters, German automotive engineering has rarely been short of ambition.

Somewhere in Australia’s tropical northeast, a tiny spider twitches in its sleep. Whether it’s imagining sinking its fangs into a delicious meal or fearing the business end of a rolled-up newspaper will forever be between the arachnid and its therapist.

Birdwatching has gone digital, with more and more people turning to smart feeders equipped with cameras and smartphone connectivity. Some might argue that this defeats the whole purpose of birdwatching: taking a break from the digital world and connecting with nature. On the other hand, a smart feeder might be your best chance of spotting a rare bird in your backyard while you are busy with your 9-to-5 job.
