Lego-style bricks are fun and great for building castles, spaceships, and race cars, but once assembled, they become just decorative objects and usually never get touched again. Italian designer Paolo Caviglia had the idea of assembling a real audio system with them. That’s how his project, Audio Bricks, was born.

I like drones and I like oddball inventions, so when I first heard about Zero Zero Robotics' Falcon Mini "bicopter" drone, I knew I had to try it out for myself. Well, I can now say that it is indeed a most interesting little aircraft … but when all is said and done, you should probably just go with the company's HOVERAir line of quadcopters.

Godox’s C100 is the company’s first camera, and it’s a strange one. Instead of a conventional rear screen, over half of its compact body is taken up by a transparent optical viewfinder that lets you frame a shot while still seeing right through the device.

Student engineers at Eindhoven University of Technology have revealed a pioneering vehicle that can cross remote off-grid regions to deliver on-the-spot healthcare – and is powered entirely by the sun. The Stella Juva – the world’s first solar-powered ambulance – will now be put through its paces in Africa.

Drones have been a part of our lives for years now, and many industries are hard to imagine without them. They monitor crops, inspect forests and bridges, help with search-and-rescue missions, and are widely used in military operations. But no matter how advanced they become, they all share the same weakness: battery life. In many situations, landing a drone to replace a battery can be too dangerous or simply impossible.

Multitools continue to evolve in all shapes and form, but we suppose it'd be more accurate to say this latest one revolves. We wouldn't call the all-new Geo multitool from Invento Design "revolutionary" in the sense of changing the market forever, but it does blend physical revolution into the multitool formula, delivering what could be a quicker, more intuitive way of switching from one tool to the next.

I'm more intrigued by the premise behind this wild robotics project than the technology itself: "What if digital music could control a real instrument and become physical sound again?"

Typically, if you’re in the market for a cruiser with an automatic transmission, you’d have precious few options. The closest mainstream offering is Honda's Rebel 1100 DCT, which starts at around US$10,400 – and even that swaps the traditional V-twin for a parallel-twin engine. If you insist on a genuine V-twin and an automatic gearbox, you're effectively out of luck.

If you’re a scooter rider who’s looking to move up the ladder into proper, purpose-built motorcycles, whether that be functional street bikes, cruisers, adventure bikes or even an entry-level sportsbike, the step up can seem pretty darn big and pretty darn intimidating. UK bikemaker AJS seems to be targeting exactly that segment.

HoverAir has spent years shrinking the drone form factor into a controller-free personal camera. The Versa is its latest take on the idea, pushing beyond existing self-flying models by starting out as a pocket-sized handheld device with a three-axis gimbal.

There were moments when I simply stared at the screen, astonished by how convincingly ChatGPT Voice resembled Jarvis, or at least Jarvis Junior. It was the kind of awe that makes you pause and consider the implications.

Why walk when you can ride? That seems to be the question of the day as British Army paratroopers exchange Shanks' pony for electric bikes during a combat exercise in Canada, testing the zero-emission conveyances alongside tactical drones and electronic warfare systems.

Back in 1999, Audi made the fantastic A2, a charming MPV that delivered exceptional mileage. Sadly, it was a bit expensive and didn't sell well. The company is bringing this model back for 2026 as an electric vehicle (EV) – with efficiency to match its legacy.

Benelli's story is a strange one. Once upon a time, it was one of Italy's most charismatic motorcycle manufacturers. Today, it's a Chinese-owned company with a catalog so broad that it almost feels like someone threw darts at a whiteboard full of market segments.

Mention Zeiss, and it's likely to bring up planetarium projectors and advanced optical lenses, but aerospace products wouldn't get much of a look-in. That is, until now, as New Atlas gets hands-on with Zeiss's new holographic technology for aircraft.

Last year, I reviewed OneOdio's Studio Max 1 headphones and came away genuinely impressed. They were inexpensive, comfortable, and included a low-latency wireless dongle that allowed me to mix up some stuff on the DAW without being tethered for the first time ever. And did I mention battery life? Because I could listen to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon about 168 times in a row between charges.
