The name Wärtsilä has a definite glow around it in the motorhead community. That's largely because of the RTA96-C, a 14-cylinder, two-stroke turbo diesel behemoth that our own Mike Hanlon endorsed as one of the Seven Wonders of the World back in 2004.

In a massive study of nearly 50,000 women over a time frame of 30 years, researchers found that drinking more coffee – to a point – during midlife was linked to less chronic disease, physical mobility issues and cognitive decline in later years. However, other caffeinated products, plus decaffeinated coffee, did not garner the same results.

Dubai-based Nireeka has been making absolutely outrageous ebikes for a few years now, and its latest performance-focused creation packs so much power it really should come with a statutory warning or three.

For years, astronomers have been working to piece together the story of our universe, but the critical early chapters remained largely incomplete. Our telescopes simply haven't been sensitive enough to pick up those faintest traces of light from the farthest reaches of the universe. Until now that is. A new collaborative project dubbed the COSMOS-Web field has compiled the most comprehensive cosmic map ever, including images of the early universe as far back as 13.5 billion years.
According to a new study, combining exercise with omega-3 supplements reduced inflammation and, thereby, the severity of a chronic tooth root infection. It suggests a relatively simple means of controlling these infections, which can result in bone and tooth loss.

Genesis has updated the G80 to bring it up to par with the G90, making it less obvious which of these sedans is the flagship for the brand. Whichever is head of the armada, though, they’re both really well-done luxury options.

Just like fingerprints, your breathing patterns may be a unique identifying feature. Scientists have found they can identify people with 96.8% accuracy using only their breathing patterns. And it's not just simple identification, researchers say they can even predict Body Mass Index (BMI), state (sleeping or awake), and cognitive traits (anxiety or depression) from the way you breathe.

Good things happen when German camper innovator Sunlight puts pens to work on a new concept camper van. The last time around, those things were the hammock-topped, wakeboard-winching 2019 Cliff 4x4 Adventure Van. This time, it's the all-new Volkswagen Ibex camper concept, an even grittier adventure van built to "outdrive the ordinary" and navigate through terra incognita to a grander grade of adventure. And it sounds like the production version won't be far behind.

Tesla is not usually a company that's associated with two wheels. But here’s a one-off where it is, kind of – with ex-Tesla engineers behind a new motorcycle called the Emara ADV. The electric moto comes from a relatively new company called Zeno from Bangalore, India.

Obesity caused by a high-fat Western diet damages the pancreas, affecting insulin production and blood sugar control even after dietary changes and weight is lost. The new research suggests that early intervention is needed to stop obesity from causing permanent pancreatic damage.

A small daily dose of kombucha made from black tea has been shown to meaningfully reshape the gut microbiome in adults – particularly those with obesity – without any dietary changes. And, importantly, the gut "makeover" boosts beneficial bacteria that play a big role in fighting inflammation and strengthening metabolic processes.

It is no secret that the presence of humans has left visible scars on this planet. Be it edging out endangered species with our ever-expanding footprint, or the environmental pollution that comes as a result. One could say we have inextricably linked ourselves with pollution. It is in our drinking water, our soil, and our food. So it’s no surprise pollution has become synonymous with a range of medical issues, from hormone disruption to food sensitivities, and even cancer.

Maybe cars, trucks, and motorcycles aren't exciting enough, because Honda is moving into space vehicles. The company has announced that it has successfully flown a reusable rocket to an altitude of almost 300 m (1,000 ft) and then safely landed it.
