One of the more out-there concepts to emerge from CMT 2026, the Wingcube is a unique style of trailerable expanding camp pod. It folds up into a tall cube slim enough to tow comfortably aboard a utility trailer, even around the narrowest roadways. After parking, the cube grows to more than three times its packed size, dropping its wings into sheltered bedrooms and sliding out an open-air dining area.

It turns out your mouth may know more about your metabolism than your bathroom scale. New research shows that people with obesity host a distinct oral microbiome compared to individuals at a healthy weight. Rather than zeroing in on the gut microbiome, the study turns our attention to the mouth as a potential biological signal of metabolic health. It’s a shift that could challenge long-held assumptions about where obesity-related biomarkers can be measured.

Zinc oxide remains one of the best forms of sun protection thanks to its ability to block both UVB and UVA rays. However, few really appreciate its thick white look – except, maybe, lifeguards in the '80s. UCLA researchers believe they have a solution.

While AI certainly has its issues – such as rotting your brain and making you stupid – there is little doubt that it excels in medical diagnostics. The technology repeatedly proves itself when it comes to looking at – and into – the human body and predicting disease risk. Some examples of AI's diagnostic prowess include looking at chest X-rays , staring deeply into our eyes to detect diseases, reading MRIs to spot fat around our hearts, and even examining our tongues to detect conditions including asthma and anemia. Now, apparently, it can improve upon the humble stethoscope as well, according to a new study in the journal, Digital Health.

A few years ago, if you’d told me Ducati’s sub-500cc street-legal enduro was on the cusp of a global release, I’d probably have thought you’d lost it. Fast forward to 2026, though, and that’s exactly what’s happening, with the Desmo450 EDS all set for launch.

Ever since Kia looked into the crystal ball of off-road mini-camping with its epic, little PV5 WKNDR concept, the world has waited patiently to see what it would drum up as a retail camper van built aboard its highly flexible Platform Beyond Vehicle (PBV) EV architecture. It waits no more. While Kia has not (yet) developed a fully integrated PBV camper van, it has introduced an officially branded camper kit for the PV5 electric van, which itself launched just a few months ago. Interestingly, the flat-pack IKEA-like (I-Kia?) assemble-yourself kit was developed in the USA, which has not even been confirmed as a PV5 market.
