Automakers are putting the brakes on ambitious all-electric vehicle expansion plans of recent past, increasingly pursuing multiple powertrain technologies for cutting emissions across their global lineups. Horse Powertrain is ready to lend a hand, putting its expertise in both electric motor and ICE technology into an all-in-one fuel-electric drive it calls the Future Hybrid Concept. The visionary setup looks to seamlessly blend battery and fuel propulsion into a single drive unit that easily transforms a pure-electric car into a flexible hybrid.

Even if you've built one of the world's most advanced insect-inspired micro air vehicles (MAVs), it ultimately won't be that useful if it can't stick a good landing. That's why scientists at Harvard University have now given their RoboBee a set of long, jointed legs much like those of the crane fly.

We've deployed so many satellites into space over the last few decades that we now have a massive orbital junk problem. The European Space Agency (ESA) noted in its Annual Space Environment Report that more than 6,600 tons of space junk are currently floating about in Low Earth Orbit (LEO), between 100 - 1,200 miles (160 - 2,000 km) above our planet's surface.

The lightest-weight full-bodied pickup truck camper we've ever covered has somehow gotten even lighter. While the average pickup camper manufacturer struggles to build products any lighter than 1,500 lb (680 kg), Texas startup Peak Performance spent 2024 getting the word out about a pop-up camper weighing in at a mere 550 lb (249 kg), as midsize truck-friendly as you'll find.
