A common, over-the-counter form of vitamin B3 has emerged as an inexpensive ally in protecting us from skin cancer, lowering the risk by an average of 14% and increasing to a massive 54% for anyone who has previously had a positive diagnosis. This latest study of more than 33,000 patients supports earlier evidence that emerged in a 2015 Australian trial.

"A Lamborghini supercar of the sea" – you might be surprised to note that such a vessel already exists, a fantastical daydream born in the frustratingly idle days of pandemic. But that doesn't mean there can't be more than one, and the latest is technically more of a "Lamborghini micro-supercar for sea and subsea," a little adventure toy that can be carried aboard the larger sea-bound Lambo. The Italian sports car marque has teamed with German e-PWC specialist Cayago to develop what it calls the "most powerful Seabob ever," a grab-and-go personal jet sled that promises exhilaration on and under the water at speeds that compete with various species of shark and dolphin.

A daily cocoa extract supplement rich in flavanols appears to reduce age-related inflammation, according to new results from the largest study of its kind to date. The findings add biological support to earlier evidence that cocoa flavanols may help protect the heart, and hint at how the plant compounds influence the aging process by dialing down "inflammaging."

Horse Powertrain wasn't the only automotive supplier showing an efficiently packaged range-extender engine system at this year's IAA Mobility Munich show, which wrapped up over the weekend. German component builder Mahle took a short break from pushing out compact, torque-maximizing ebike motors to reveal a small, high-efficiency multi-fuel engine-generator it says is ready to deliver hybridized driving ranges up to 838 miles (1,350 km), about double that of some of today's longest-range battery electric vehicles.

Two years ago, Thule surprised the world with a vehicle hitch accessory quite different from the bike racks and cargo boxes it'd been dealing in for years. That product was the Outset, a hitch-mountable unfurling tent designed to combine the comfort and vehicle integration of a rooftop tent (RTT) with the ease of access and detachability of a tent trailer or simple ground tent. After several years on the European market, the tent is finally making its way over the Atlantic to the US. Will Americans embrace it like they did the rooftop tent, or is Thule trying to thread a needle through a hole that simply doesn't exist?
