Along with the likes of Howl and Live Outdoor, Washington outdoor heating specialist Ignik Outdoors has been working to pull the wood out of the campfire for years. Now it's giving campers the option of removing open fire all together, without giving up the warmth and flickering glow of flame. Its whimsically named Skullet serves as something of a 360-degree gas fireplace for base camp while also working as a traditional stove burner that brings its own ingredient-mingling discada.

Exposure to common heavy metals has been linked to the prevalence of ADHD, according to a new study. It builds on existing research that has found that there's a strong association between certain metals like lead and copper and increased cases of both ADHD and how serious the condition's symptoms are.

Imperial Outdoors has its roots in ice fishing trailers built for stalwart fishermen facing some of the harshest winter conditions the United States can dole out. So it knows a few things about speccing out a mobile living pod for cold, bleak weather. With its all-new Outback Series, it puts that experience into a tow-anywhere off-road squaredrop built to thrive in four seasons' worth of weather and ground conditions.

When the Bugatti Tourbillon took center stage in June of 2024, nearly everything written about it (including the piece I wrote) fawned over its meticulous dash, its beautiful curves, and included every chrono-pun one could think of. Finally, Bugatti has given us a peek at what's actually under the hood.

Picture this: a 21-year-old backyard scientist in Alabama, Julian Brown, sweeps away some dirt and leaves from his homemade solar- and generator-powered, 10-magnetron-powered pyrolysis microwave reactor probably running at around 8 kW or more, before nuking a pile of plastic bags, laundry detergent bottles, milk jugs, and other scraps of household plastic that would have otherwise gone to landfill. He then sludges out an unrefined goop-like substance that looks similar to blown head gasket oil (like chunky chocolate milk) before starting the "refinement process" to produce a gasoline alternative he calls "plastoline."

A new kind of paint might be the key to cooling homes in humid climes like Singapore. Researchers based in the island country found their custom white paint, specially developed to 'sweat,' significantly reduced the need for air conditioning, while also maintaining its appearance for years.
Killer whales have joined the rare club of animals that can make and use tools, for the first time being observed crafting a kind of brush out of kelp and then using it on fellow pod members.

Credit where it's due: Tesla CEO Elon Musk promised his company would launch a robotaxi service this June, and it actually rolled out self-driving cabs in Austin, Texas, over the weekend. Too bad you'll probably have a hard time hailing one at the moment.
