How do you control a nuclear space propulsion system? Very carefully. To help with this, the Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) has built a simulated nuclear reactor test bed to develop the engines that could send astronauts to Mars and beyond.

A new study has found that people who eat a diet high in ultra-processed foods consistently have a specific elevated health marker that's a telltale sign of chronic inflammation – even without any obvious symptoms of illness. This inflammation is a slow burn, contributing to diseases including heart conditions, diabetes and even some cancers.

Slovenian e-drive innovator Remigo brought its 1,000-W electric boat drive to the North American market earlier this year and has been quickly growing out its lineup ever since. Now it launches a new flagship motor drive that puts out 50 percent more power without giving up the RemigoOne's classic blade-slim integrated packaging or easy-carry sub-30-lb (13.6-kg) weight. The RemigoOne Neo gives small e-boaters a little more oomph without any of the inconvenience of a larger, bulkier electric or gas outboard.

Australia's embattled koalas have been given some good news for once, with the approval of the world's first chlamydia vaccine for the marsupial. More than a decade in the making, the vaccine will protect koalas from the widespread disease that causes painful urinary tract infections, infertility, blindness and death.

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. But it likely won’t take you long to realize it’s an even bigger hassle. You trade the effort of mowing your lawn with cursing the bloody thing for hobbling around with boundary wires, its useless wheels, and shaky navigation.

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.
