Hypoglycemia – a condition in which low blood glucose levels can cause you to feel dizzy, weak, and shaky – can catch you by surprise. It often occurs due to excess insulin, whether it's produced by your body or if you've injected too much of it.

Designed to provide the range, speed and convenience that electric aircraft and boats lack, the otherworldly Viceroy seaglider developed by Rhode Island startup Regent has completed another major milestone. Just a few months after hitting the water for the first time, the dramatic gull-winged vessel emerged out of the water to demonstrate its foiling capabilities for the first time. Pretty soon, it will be taking to the air to put its range-boosting ground-effect technology to work.

Humans have been getting infected by ancient bacteria and viruses for at least 37,000 years. Now, for the first time, pathogen DNA has uncovered a pivotal disease "turning point" that happened 6,500 years ago, during which our biology and society created a perfect storm that would forever change our evolutionary path.

Ask anyone in the USA, and they’ll tell you that hippy-dippy, Tesla-lovin' California is the most EV-friendly state. But what if I told you it’s not even in the top 10?

A single, freely available, noninvasive brain scan done in just a few minutes during midlife can predict what chronic diseases are most likely to appear in the future, empowering people to make diet and lifestyle changes that mitigate their risk even decades before symptoms begin to show. Getting the jump on degenerative conditions like Alzheimer's disease could have a huge impact on health outcomes later in life.

Remember the movie The Wizard (1989), when Lucas shows off his Nintendo Power Glove and says, "I love the Power Glove. It's so bad." English is weird; "Bad" meant good in the late 1980s. Today, "sick" means really cool. Other today-words that come to mind to review the Hoverair would be "slaps", and "fire," none of which actually sound like a good thing ... where was I going with this?

Different yet familiar, the new Trailster Truck Camper from Arizona's Unplug Outdoor Company is yet another spin on the pickup camping topper, a particularly low profile, lightweight spin. The Trailster stands at cab height on the bed like a heavy-duty expedition-grade cap, but rather than the simple fixed body of other caps, it features an integrated fold-out tent ready to sleep the overland crew.

Honda’s e-clutch tech is a nifty piece of tech that was first introduced in 2023. While it already comes as standard on the current CBR650R and CB650R models in the US, Honda is set to bring the tech to its entry-level motorcycles. And rightly so.
