A sub-6-meter (19.7-ft) camper van with two stretched longitudinal beds fixed in back? That's going to take some type of outward expansion module or paring back of standard features. Or, some serious internal trickery. As we previewed last month, Bürstner selects the latter route for a camper van so experimental, it shares its name with a series of pure concepts. The all-new Habiton lives and sleeps larger than its footprint thanks an entire room that actually moves back and forth. The segment-splitting van is on its way to production.

We get it: You don’t want to spend your weekends pushing a heavy mower around the yard. So you go get a robotic mower to save you the trouble.

Hybrid commuter bikes generally aren't known for being all that exciting. That's why some cyclists are taking old speed-oriented lugged-steel road bikes that would otherwise go unused, and converting them into zippy, retro-cool city bikes. Here's how you can do it, too.

Sleep is often treated as downtime, a passive break between the real business of being awake. But a new study has revealed that sleep is active, essential biology, showing how the brain uses the night to flood the body with growth hormone to repair muscles, strengthen bones and balance metabolism. Researchers have uncovered the neural circuitry that explains why growth hormone surges during shut-eye, and why cutting corners on sleep undermines our physical health.
