The Nürburgring record for American cars was last well and truly set by Chevrolet’s Corvette ZR1 and ZR1X. Who did Chevy snatch the record from? Ford’s Mustang GTD. So it was only a matter of time before Ford came back for vengeance. But I don’t think many people would have put money on a Ford Transit.

In order to stay small, many multitools forgo certain functions for others. The SwitchDisc takes a different approach, with three separate "cores" that can be swapped in and out of the seven-function main body as the situation dictates.

With the ever-expanding new Nugget camper van series, Ford and Westfalia have worked in some new buzzwords – "winterproof" seems to be a particularly effective one – but have carried over a design formula very closely related to the last generation. That's left Westfalia to look outward from the partnership to continue evolving Ford van life in new directions. Its all-new Kipling features a layout very similar to a full-size van camper, only shrunken and tucked into Ford's midsize Transit Custom. "Kipling" is a solid name without any hint of trademark infringement, but we think of this one as the "Twisted Nugget."

It began quietly, tucked away in the immune systems of a few dozen people scattered across the globe. They weren't superheroes. They didn't wear capes. But they carried something extraordinary, an invisible shield against every virus nature could throw at them. No flu. No measles. No chickenpox. Not even a sniffle.

Another air record has been (unofficially) broken as a prop-driven solar/electric aircraft reached the highest altitude yet for its type. On August 12, 2025, a modified Elektra One reached 31,237 feet (9,521 m) in the skies over Switzerland.

A new generation of “theranostic” nanoparticles has been shown to both detect and reduce plaques in the arteries. Nanoparticles absorbed by immune cells in the arteries, where they work to lower inflammation and draw out harmful cholesterol, offer an entirely new way of not just diagnosing but fighting heart disease without drugs.
