Earlier this year, a Japanese man by the name of Shigeichi Negishi passed away, aged 100, but his legacy lives on, thanks to his invention – the world's first karaoke machine. His coin-operated Sparko Box, which the engineer dreamt up in his electronics workplace in 1967, quickly spread in popularity around Japan and eventually the world, and now you can find a karaoke bar in most cities across the globe.

Whether a medication is taken orally or intravenously, it ends up traveling throughout the body instead of going solely to the one place where it's needed. Such could soon no longer be the case, however, thanks to a newly developed microparticle that looks like a flower.

NASA's X-59 aircraft has been marching toward a fest flight since it entered development in 2016 with the goal of bringing back commercial supersonic travel. Next, the agency will test jet-mounted shock-sensing cones to measure its "sonic thuds."

Scientists have accidentally discovered a particle that has mass when it’s traveling in one direction, but no mass while traveling in a different direction. Known as semi-Dirac fermions, particles with this bizarre behavior were first predicted 16 years ago.

Since its early days going by the name "Into the Wild," Colorado's Boreas Campers has been building some of the US market's most rugged composite squaredrop trailers, ranging from the family-size EOS-12 pop-up to its long-running XT. Unlike manufacturers that keep their gaze fixed upmarket, Boreas has long been just as committed to delivering more affordable wood-free trailers. In 2020, it introduced its entry-level AT for well under US$20,000, and now it's diving even further downmarket with the simple but robust Ultra-Base, a blank adventure canvas that starts under $15K.

Another day, another wild electrified aircraft concept that reimagines the future of air travel in a way that fascinates and enthralls. This time around, it isn't a straight eVTOL serving as protagonist, but a hybrid that tilts its ducted electric fans to offer helicopter versatility with airplane range and efficiency. Technically identified as a hybrid-electric vertical and short takeoff and landing (HeV/STOL) vessel, the newly modeled ANN Plus uses a turbine-electric powertrain to more economically bridge the gap between traditional air and ground transportation options.

Ski mountaineering – aka skimo – is an epic sport in which skiers make their way up to the summit of a mountain, then downhill-ski back to the base. The E-Skimo system is designed to make the trip up easier, by putting motorized treads on the skis.
