Η ΓΝΩΣΗ ΤΗΣ ΣΤΟ ΣΧΟΛΕΙΟ ΚΑΙ ΠΕΡΑ ΑΠΟ ΑΥΤΟ
It was only a matter of time before an EV Isuzu pickup came along. The likes of the Ford F150 Lightning, GMC Hummer EV, Chevy Silverado EV and Tesla Cybertruck all forced the Japanese carmaker’s hand … and lo and behold, we have the Isuzu D-Max EV.

From the AntiShanty 4XD, to the Ushi Chuck, to the Trail Mod, to the Jayco Crosstrail, we've seen some unique off-road gear-hauling camper trailers, in the past year and a half alone. And still, some designs leap out from the pack and make us look thrice. The Highcountry Unlimited UTV trailer is just that type of design, a big, old towable tub with two axles, a specialized heavy-duty walking beam suspension, and the ability to transform into the closest thing out there to a covered wagon for the contemporary overland explorer.

Acetaminophen can be a big help to mothers suffering postpartum body pain, but it ain't great for newborn babies. An experimental new lactation pad was designed with that fact in mind, as it measures how much of the drug is present in breast milk.

Earlier this year, Aurzen took to Kickstarter (and CES) with a snazzy portable projector made up of three components connected via hinges so that users didn't need to carry a tripod stand. We've been getting bendy with one for the last few weeks.

The construction work currently underway in Saudi Arabia for the Neom giga-project is unprecedented, with buildings like the Line transforming the desert landscape at a remarkable pace. Now an expert has reportedly suggested that the scale of work is so massive, it could even alter local weather patterns.

The Rivian R1T is a pickup truck, yes. But it also is not. The Rivian is more a product of Silicon Valley than of Detroit, which is why it’s so unique. For some, it will be like listening to a hipster explain his kombucha recipe. But for others, it’s a refreshing take on a truck.

Say what you like about Zaha Hadid Architects' evolution in style since its founder passed, but you can't accuse the studio of being boring. Case in point is the Shenzhen Science & Technology Museum which is defined by an extraordinary futuristic form intended to help reduce its energy usage.

The auction block is a wonderful arbiter of the value of a storied object and the intrigue it creates is often better than fiction. The Ducati 851 won Ducati's first World Superbike Championship in 1990 but it has not sold well at auction by comparison to Ducati's long roster of special models created since. This auction may well alert the world to a growing collectible juggernaut.

Okay, so you know how pocket knives can sometimes accidentally open up in your pocket or bag? Japanese hardware brand Titaner's new heavy duty EDC knife features what it's calling the world's first dual-lock system to prevent that from ever happening, in an ergonomic, adjustable titanium design.

The average rooftop tent (RTT) already makes a light RV out of whatever vehicle it finds itself atop, but we're starting to see a new tier of RTTs that are more like self-contained rooftop tiny campers. The Oztent Apex RT-P-1600 tent joins the ARB Altitude and now-repurposed Redtail Overland Skyloft in that upper echelon of wheel-less micro-camping trailers that ride on the roof instead of behind the car. The new tent from Oz boasts motion-activated camp lighting, active cooling and even its own RV-style electronic command center.

The air at sea might be getting a bit cleaner as technology group Wärtsilä puts its Carbon Capture Solution (CCS) system on the market. The modular apparatus is claimed to capture as much as 70% of the CO2 emissions from cargo ship exhaust systems.

An alarming new report reveals that right across the country, 28 US cities are sinking, showing the kind of geologic subsidence that could impact buildings and infrastructure sooner rather than later. While some of it is natural, 80% is the the direct result of human activity.

High blood sugars have long been known to cause eye damage in diabetics. However, new research has found that low blood sugar may also contribute. The good news is that it also identified a way of preventing or treating the damage.

Quadruped "robot dogs" may move quite a bit like their canine counterparts on land, but they're not nearly as good at swimming (although some can walk underwater). Such is not the case with a new mini-dog-bot, however, which is an expert at doing the dog-paddle.

Until this year, Oregon-based Work Sharp has been known best for its wide-ranging lineup of blade-sharpening tools. In fact, it brings over 50 years' experience in the category. Now it's taking that grandmaster-level expertise of freshly honed edges to a lineup of knives all its own. Instead of merely leaning on its brand name to sell a basic blade, it's doing things a little differently. Each knife in the company's debut lineup features an interchangeable pivot that transforms operation from automatic to manual (and vice versa) on a whim.

If you're releasing a robot into the aquatic environment with no intention of retrieving it, that bot had better be biodegradable. Swiss scientists have gone a step better than that, with li'l robots that can be consumed by fish when their job is done.

One of the biggest difficulties in helping people affected by natural disasters is transporting and providing them with essential resources like safe drinking water. Researchers at Australia's RMIT University and five Chinese institutes have devised a simple and clever contraption that could solve that, by pulling potable water out of thin air.

SiFly says its drones fly 4X longer, 10X farther, 10X quieter and carry 5X more payload than the competition, while manufacturing in the USA at China-competitive prices. And they don't need parachutes. We asked how... Here's the secret sauce!
