United Kingdom-based Enola Gaye has nearly 30 years of experience selling a multi-colored array of smoke and paint grenades for use in sports like paintball and airsoft, as well as for celebrations and special effects. The company has spun off a survival branch that applies smoke grenade-inspired design to products like the Ultimate Match, a powerful, weather-resistant firestarter that shoots out a mini inferno to spark flammable material into a warming fire. Simply pull the pin and get 'er burning.

As our personal devices get smaller and are expected to do more stuff – whether that's your phone, a smartwatch, or a wearable AI assistant – they also tend to get hotter on the inside. That means it can be hard for them to deliver consistently fast performance, fit more components inside, or avoid getting too warm to handle.

For the first time, scientists have unraveled just how high levels of fructose affect the body, flipping a genetic switch as it's broken down – one that primes your immune system to overreact to things it would normally ignore. In this "trigger happy" state, certain immune cells are less discerning, resulting in inflammation, more severe infections and even new food intolerances or sensitivities.

For the first time, a lab-grown brain-computer system has demonstrated that human neurons living and evolving in an artificial system respond to medication by learning, in real time, in a game-like environment. Subjected to anti-seizure drugs, Cortical Labs' disease-modeled neurons didn't just show altered brain activity, but spontaneous information-processing behavior. It's a huge step forward for the company's synthetic biological intelligence (SBI) technology and how we are able to research neurological conditions and develop new, effective treatments.

We already knew Eurobike 2025 was going to be packed with the smallest, lightest electric bike motors the world has ever seen. What we didn't expect, though, was for manufacturers to start outdoing brand-new products they previewed just weeks ago. TQ, for example, debuted what it calls the smallest, lightest, quietest ebike drive in its class in early June. Now, the German e-drive innovator undercuts itself with an even smaller, lighter motor weighing less than 2.6 lb. It's the all-new HPR40, and it's specially designed to match the light, lithe lines of road and gravel bikes.
