Saab has developed a new anti-tank round that's designed to take on the modern high-tech armor of the 21st century. Built for Saab's Carl-Gustaf 84-mm (3.31-in) recoilless rifle system, the HEAT 758 munition can even defeat modern reactive armor.

Originally envisioned as a Tesla Model 3 hatch camper, the all-new Wheelhome Dashaway ECT micro-camping trailer series eventually earned its own wheels. It's still aimed at efficient all-electric camping trips but is able to furnish travelers with a surprising number of amenities, giving an adventurer or two everything they need to survive in comfort: a cozy lounge-cum-bedroom, a high-efficiency kitchen, cargo storage and even a toilet room, all in a pop-up wedge-shaped vessel inspired by a rooftop tent.

When you think of Royal Enfield, you’d inevitably think of the Classic, the Bullet, and more recently, the Super Meteor – mostly bulky cruisers and retro motorcycles – because that’s essentially what the company has specialized in for a major part of its history.

Engineers have been experimenting with alternatives to the traditional mouse for years, producing pen-shaped, flat, and even ring-shaped mice. And just when it seems like we’ve seen it all, UK-based startup NextAxis Design has introduced an egg-shaped mouse called Ovo, currently available for backing on Kickstarter.

I bet that if Mazda had a dollar for every time someone said, “Wait, isn’t that just the CX-90 without the third row?” it could probably fund a Wankel comeback.

What do you look for in a tiny house? If it's the ability to hit the road on a whim, then the Samuel probably isn't for you. However, if you'd prefer a stationary but remarkably practical home that's suitable for long-term living, then this one might be a good fit.

Newly observed negative-phase waveforms in earthquake data have alerted scientists to a previously unrecognized feature of the "big ones" to do with tectonic plates slipping by each other: they create a kind of geological 'whiplash' that happens when a rupturing fault movement abruptly stops.

In my wildest dreams I couldn't have imagined that I’d ever see a 125cc motorcycle from China dressed in Ducati-like underpinnings. I’m not kidding – a proper liquid-cooled V-twin, a steel trellis frame, an aluminum single-sided swingarm … this might just be the coolest entry-level moto ever!

A year ago, we took a look at the Crosspeak 2 tent from Hyperlite Mountain Gear. The impressive cut of Dyneema fabric weighed in barely over 2 pounds (907 g), adding yet another intriguing option to an ultralight freestanding tent market that was running white hot at the time. On the downside, it cost more than a dollar per gram. Now Hyperlite has launched the solo version: the Crosspeak 1. The new Dyneema freestander drops well below 2 lb to become one of the lightest out there and also gets a lower price ... but it still follows the same dollar-per-gram+ pricing model.

When you hear about designers biomimicking butterflies, your first thought is probably about creating remote-controlled flying toys or small, artificial flying machines that could be useful in pollination, especially in regions experiencing bee colony collapse. But butterfly mimicry goes far beyond those uses to include scattering light to replace toxic paints or as an anti-fraud mechanism against counterfeiters, advancing optical computing, and even creating superior eye implants.

Fritz Tiny Homes has expanded its Halcyon line with the Grand, a 400-sq-ft (37.1-sq-m) park model that takes livability to the next level. It builds off of the Halcyon Stay model, but makes it a more practical dwelling, with two bedrooms and clever storage solutions that maximize space. It may be tiny, but the Canadian builders ensured it can function as a primary residence for a growing family.

For decades, the idea of a sub-two-hour marathon occupied a near-mythical place in endurance sport. Like Roger Bannister’s four-minute mile, it represented a physiological and psychological frontier that seemed just beyond human reach. That barrier finally fell in an official race at the 2026 London Marathon on April 26th, when Kenya’s Sabastian Sawe ran 1:59:30, followed moments later by Ethiopia’s Yomif Kejelcha in 1:59:41.
