Downsizing to a tiny house usually requires some serious compromises. However, the English Garden has a remarkably roomy and stylish interior that feels more like an apartment than a traditional tiny house.

Volkswagen knows what it takes to make a great van, whether we're talking commercial goods-hauler or MPV-cum-weekend camper. Sometimes that means working with the aftermarket to create a versatile van to take on multiple roles with little to no owner conversion necessary, something like the Caddy with flip-up rear bench. VW's latest piece of van kit doesn't even require a flip, permanently dividing the ID. Buzz into a split-personality cargo-MPV that seats a family of five while carrying all means of tools and packages in a discrete compartment. On the downside, it deletes the e-bus' ability to work with readily available aftermarket camper hardware.

One of the smoothest, most curvaceous hunks of sleep-in fiberglass you'll see this year, the all-new Morningstar series from startup Awaken RV looks to "wake up" an age of higher quality American Midwest-built campers. The 23.9-foot (7.3-m) trailer leaves the notoriously shoddy stick-and-tin construction in the past in favor of a seamless double-hulled fiberglass build designed to make rot, corrosion, leaking and denting forgotten remnants of the past.

Luna Systems, a Dublin-based startup, has built something that might actually make urban cycling less nerve-wracking: an AI-powered rear-view camera that acts like the collision warning systems already standard in modern cars. The device, called Luna Oculus, watches your back and (metaphorically) screams when danger approaches.

We have certainly entered the age of AI robots doing the jobs we formerly relied on humans for. Some are yet to do it as well, but the Pongbot Pace S Pro is the best tennis coach I've had – even if it doesn't criticize my poor two-handed backhand grip.

Look up in the sky, it's a bird, it's a plane, it's ... a 20,000 cubic-meter power-generating airship, floating 6,560 ft (2,000 meters) above the ground. Introducing the S2000 stratospheric airborne wind energy system (SAWES), the world’s first megawatt-level airborne wind power system, according to its developer, Beijing-based Linyi Yunchuan Energy Technology. The system has recently completed a test flight, successfully generating electricity from high-altitude winds without the need for towers or substantial ground infrastructure.

Camping season is approaching fast for many of us, so it’s a good time to start gearing up. Outdoor adventures require quite a bit of planning, especially when it comes to cooking in the backcountry. Carrying heavy gear can make long hiking days feel even longer, so most people try to cut every extra gram when packing. If this sounds familiar, the ultralight and compact TiStove might be worth trying.

At massive audiovisual conferences like ISE 2026, extreme projection is everywhere, from the large venues and expansive screens to immersive installations and rental setups built around impressive brightness. In this arena, 30,000-lumen projectors have been the top-end standard for years: immensely powerful, but typically also heavy, bulky, expensive, and logistically challenging to deploy.

When a predator like a lion walks through the grasslands, it makes its presence known by roaring, which can be heard miles away. Since the lion is at the top of the food chain, it doesn’t particularly require privacy. But for animals like deer, making loud sounds isn’t exactly the safest way to communicate. So, to get noticed, deer mark areas with rubs and scrapes, known as signposts. Now, a new study in Ecology and Evolution reports that these signposts hold a hidden glow, and other deer can see it.

In the front lines of combat between scientists and bacteria, there's a notorious group of bugs that belong to a nefarious organization known as ESKAPE. These bacteria are particularly good at evading the effects of antibiotics, making them a major cause of hard-to-treat infections, often transmitted during hospital stays. The acronym that classifies them consists of the first letters of the six bacteria that belong to the group: Enterococcus faecium, Staphylococcus aureus, Klebsiella pneumoniae, Acinetobacter baumannii, Pseudomonas aeruginosa, and Enterobacter species.

Ford launched the all-new Nugget High Roof in icy blue at the 2025 Düsseldorf Caravan Salon last summer, showing it again a few weeks ago at CMT 2026. But while Ford's high-rising, hard-sided "winterproof" Nugget is available to order with buyer's choice of rear toilet or extended cabinetry, it's not available with all-wheel drive. Feeling this a rather large market gap, aftermarket conversion shop Nugget Schmiede has introduced its own sleek high sleeper roof atop a factory long-wheelbase Nugget with all-wheel drive.
