For the first time, scientists have pieced together the diverse diet of the sauropod Diamantinasaurus, using advanced technology to assess the fossilized stomach contents that make up the dinosaur's last meal, which took place around 95 million years ago.

The race is on to create an ebike motor that adds the least amount of weight and bulk as physically possible, disappearing away into the bike where it's barely seen or heard but is felt on every pedal stroke. The latest contender is the Magnetic Gear Motor (MGM) from Chinese ebike component supplier Star Union. As its name implies, this electric motor drive swaps out physical gears in favor of a magnetic gear system that compacts the core while cutting friction. The drive is then able to put out a serious punch from a tiny, incognito package.

Let's be honest, some people just like things that look like guns. As a result, we've seen revolver-inspired bike lights, camera bags and smartphone lenses. Now it's time to meet the mean-looking Ti-Spin MultiKit screwdriver/utility knife multitool.

Scientists at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) have developed a new class of lightweight, highly conductive carbon nanotube (CNT) wiring that does away with copper and aluminum entirely. Using a process called Lyotropic Liquid Crystal-Assisted Surface Texturing (LAST), they've created core-sheath composite electric cables (CSCEC) that don't just conduct electricity, but are flexible and, most importantly, are super lightweight.

Japanese outdoor gear staple Snow Peak has long dazzled the Western world with gear that's entirely different from that which we're accustomed, but loaded with function and style. In fact, it's one of the first names that comes to mind when thinking of "glamping." We've previously seen how the company can turn the simple concept of a tent into a multi-room six-person base camp complex for those willing to pitchfork over $3,000, and now it's launching a more affordable, consumer-friendly take on that concept for a smaller group.
Whether you call it foiling, foilboarding or hydrofoiling, it's a watersport that can be difficult to master without expert guidance. The SmartFoil is designed to provide that guidance, courtesy of a compact and streamlined board-mounted device.
Around this time last year, Yaber launched two portable 1080p projectors designed to provide entertainment on outdoor adventures. The T2 and T2 Plus both required a dongle to access Google TV, but the company has now rectified that with the T2 Plus GTV edition.

Celiac disease frustratingly restrictive, the only real medical intervention for sufferers being to avoid gluten altogether. What's more, diagnosis is arduous and involves consuming gluten to stimulate the painful autoimmune condition. But it may soon be much simpler and pain-free, thanks to a new blood test that can detect the biomarkers of celiac disease even when someone is on a gluten-free diet.

Best known for its large, luxurious motorhomes, Tiffin has slowly followed its corporate sibling Airstream in branching out into a more adventurous realm. And it hasn't done so by building a boundless stretched Class A glamper bus, the likes of the Loki Coach, but by diving into the smaller end of the motorhome market. Adding to last year's GH1, this year it grows its "Adventure" lineup with both a larger camper van and the all-new Open Trail Class B+ all-terrain camper bus, a compelling super-sized hard-wall camper van with off-road chops and two sleeping areas.

This is the second part of a series in which we examine history from a different angle. The business card has been in its popular analog cardboard format for just over 200 years – a period in which society and scientific knowhow have moved at warp speed. The earliest card in our top 100 is that of James Watt (of steam engine fame), and at the other end of our list are a dozen people still handing out their cards to this day.
