If you're going to Mars you'd best take along a jar of anti-aging cream because while you're there you're going to age faster than on Earth thanks to the Theory of Relativity. It's only 477 millionths of a second per day, but that tends to add up.

California startup Ecno Evil takes a big swing at the hardcore off-road trailer market but from different angle ... or at least a seemingly forgotten angle. Instead of weighing down its trailer with all the comforts of home, it strips it down to the barest of minimums and focuses on building a squaredrop that exudes the motto "rugged is not a look; it's a test." And even more exciting than the hardwearing build is a low base price that brings back attainability.

In recent months, AI-generated wildlife clips have flooded social media, merging real animal behavior with playful fabrications. From leopards in backyards and raccoons riding crocodiles, to bunnies on trampolines, scientists warn that these digital deepfakes are distorting people’s sense of what the natural world looks like. And when people cannot distinguish real wildlife from digital fiction, conservation loses something essential: A public that understands what is really at stake.

When Volkswagen started showing off the new ID. Buzz as a modern take on the 1960s Microbus (aka “Bus” or "Kombi"), it got people’s attention. The new Buzz is a sort of modern revival of what people imagine the Bus was like, not what the Bus was really like.
