Most comets, including the well-known Halley's, loop through our solar system like cosmic time capsules that formed alongside our Sun and planets around 4.5 billion years ago. But every now and then, something far stranger streaks across the sky; an interstellar nomad, either

At first blush, the new Knaus Boxtime camper van appears to be a concept, not only because Knaus refers to it as the "camper van of the future" but also because it's loaded with envelope-pushing features like a transforming wet/dry bathroom and weight-saving materials. As it

When you think of ceiling cranes, you'd generally think of large steel I-beam girder systems that weigh a million pounds and could probably hoist the concrete foundation right out from under the building. CeiliX, however, has invented an elegant omnidirectional system called the

What if you could inject a drug into a "problem area" – like abdominal fat – that could kill off fat cells and reduce fat stores in that localized spot? That's what a novel drug from Taiwan's Caliway Pharmaceuticals offers, the world's very first injection that triggers

Though my mind tells me I'm able, my aging body often reminds me that I'm not. Even though I'm a regular ebiker, I've recently been tempted by the stability and ease that e-trikes offer. Some impress with power, others with unique features, and then there are those boasting
