I love carabiners for keeping keys and other essential items together so I don't misplace them. A new one I've spotted from upstart EDC brand Mr. Gadget goes several steps further and cleverly slots a bunch of useful tools in its titanium frame.

AI has passed a new benchmark, scoring better than the average human on a recognized creativity test involving 100,000 people. But there's more to the story than the results, underpinning how difficult it is to put "creativity" in a measurable box.

Ford may be celebrating 40 years of its iconic Nugget camper van, but it came underdressed to its own kickoff party. In announcing the new 40 Years of Nugget limited edition, it released exactly one exterior photo against a stock backdrop and one interior photo. Unacceptable. We made sure to stop by and grab more pictures of the world's latest Nugget camper van, and then found ourselves drawn in by the drastic color contrast between the different models.

I'm generally not the type to use home crafting machines. I'm more into saws, lasers and CNC-type stuff. My better half, however, is an old pro, with years of cutting, plotting, heat transfer and sticker designing ... all sorts of crafty things with her Cricut and more.

Millions of people donate blood each year, saving countless lives. After a donation, plasma and white blood cells are separated from red blood cells, which are the most commonly transfused blood product. In most countries, red blood cells can be stored under refrigeration – as a liquid solution – for up to 42 days.

Tesla just wrapped up its earnings call for the 2025 fiscal year, in which it recorded that its year-on-year profits dropped by nearly half. Its GAAP net income came to US$3.8 billion, down from $7.1 billion in 2024, representing a 46% decline. Oof.

For some time, we've known that it's rare to see people with both cancer and Alzheimer's disease. Now, scientists believe they may have found why, discovering a molecule in cancer cells that clears problem proteins from the brain.

In 2019 Apple TV released its first original television series, and since then has clearly decided to invest in top-shelf science fiction as a defining pillar of its offering. Over the years it's put together an impressive slate. Some shows have been outright successes, and where others have missed, there's at least been a refreshingly grand artistic swing.

The Bertone Runabout has familiar performance credentials, features, and price tag – but its unique lines were penned after extensive study of the hull shapes of modern speedboats. As a nod to its visual inspiration, there’s even a floating compass at the top of the dash. Only 25 will be built, but we must make it clear: none of them float.

Options in the world of flashlights for outdoorspeople are plentiful, but this one caught my eye with its unique build and handy features. For starters, the HG02 from EDC brand TerraBeast is a blocky, pocket-sized flashlight made from a corrosion- and rust-proof aluminum alloy. It's small and light enough to hook on to a keychain, and can also clip on to pockets and backpack straps.

Earlier this month on Hobart’s River Derwent, a 130-meter (426-ft) vessel began moving with an unfamiliar level of calm. No engine rumble, no exhaust plume; just the quiet churn of waterjets as Hull 096 eased away under its own power for the first time. Developed and built by Incat Tasmania, the ship has now entered its harbor trials: the first time it’s operated solely on battery-electric propulsion.

Imagine a shirt that feels like any other, but could feed you real-time information about your health and surroundings, heat up and cool down automatically, or even track your travels, giving you data on local transport, restaurants and attractions. Now imagine that the same fiber woven into that shirt could be used to treat neurological diseases, and guide robotic surgery. These are some of the very real outcomes of this new ultra-thin computing thread.

If there’s one thing I like, it’s purpose-built off-road motorcycles that are built to take a beating when the going gets tough, while offering a plush ride at other times with little to no complications. It seems that’s exactly Kawasaki’s mantra for this very interesting motorcycle.

Data center servers, powerful smartphones, and your computer's motherboard have one thing in common. When these devices get too hot, their performance takes a hit, and we can't have that. That's why copper is used to manufacture them: this metal has high thermal conductivity, which means it can efficiently carry heat and dissipate it across its surface.
