The McMurtry Spéirling has just redefined what "hypercar" actually means. The little single-seater electric beast dethroned a 21-year-old record held by a Formula 1 car at the Top Gear Test Track ... and not in a very subtle way. It went for the full usurper kill.

Lasers are great for heating things up, whether you need to do it quickly, hit a precise target, or do it from a distance. Under specific conditions, lasers can also cool things down, and that might be JUST what we need to tackle way-too-toasty data centers.

If you don't want a part of your body to get sore, then that part shouldn't be pushing against something that doesn't move along with it. That's the thinking behind the vabsRider bicycle saddle, the two sides of which pivot in time with your pedaling.

Space solar power, or what I like to call Starlink for electricity, is at once a ludicrous idea and a bit of a pipe dream. None of that is stopping Baiju Bhatt from giving it a go.

One of the ketogenic diet's major perceived drawbacks is an increase in LDL, or so-called bad cholesterol. A new study, though, says that this cholesterol spike doesn't fit the conventional science in terms of its disease-causing ability.

You don’t typically associate Ducati with an off-road motorcycle. That’s because the Bologna-based bikemaker hasn't produced one since 1974, which was the R/T. Now, 52 years later, Ducati has introduced the 2026 Desmo450 MX, its very first purpose-built motocrosser.

The Tesla Cybertruck has done what very few modern-day vehicles have been able to achieve – become one of the most recognizable cars on the road. However, Tesla has a major issue on its hands: Its angular electric pickup isn't selling in the numbers it had hoped for.

Hot, restrictive, itchy ... those are some of the nicest adjectives we can think of to describe the average sleeping bag we've used. Even if your experience is more positive than ours, you have to admit that the sleeping bag doesn't always do a great job of approximating the comfort of home bedding. It keeps you alive and hypothermia-free, but not necessarily comfortable. Rumpl has long sought to offer a better alternative, and its all-new Wrap Sack looks to solve the sleeping bag's most glaring shortcomings with an adjustable multi-layer design and oversized shape.

The debate has been raging for decades: can a Formula 1 car drive inverted from downforce alone? No one ever asked if a McMurtry Spéirling could ... turns out, it's no problemo.

Zombies are real – not in the walking dead sense, but there are parasites that can hack the brains of living creatures and force them to do things against their will, with the goal of spreading the infection. That relative realism is why The Last of Us hits so hard, and the launch of the second season feels like a great time to explore some of the real-world zombie stories that inspired it.

While the Coleman brand is nearly synonymous with camping gear, the outdoors company hadn't really brought its A-game to the cooler scene. That's all changed now with the release of its Pro line of hard- and soft-sided coolers.
Royal Enfield is one of those rare brands that naturally lends itself to one-off custom builds. Case in point: the "Project Delta," a classic custom motorcycle that draws inspiration from the motorcycle culture of the 40s and 50s.
