Batteries are the engine room for so much of the modern world, from smartphones to laptops and weird new scooters to the emerging fleets of autonomous trucks.
Italian designer Pierpaolo Lazzarini has delivered some compellingly strange concepts over the years and his latest flying car design is no exception. The Hover Coupè is a gorgeous looking blend of retro-style with future-tech.
Bultaco, the famed Spanish trials and motocross marque of yesteryear, has come and gone several times in recent decades. Founder Francisco X Bulto, who left Montesa in 1958 when the company quit racing, started Bultaco in 1959, and success came quick
Metallic glass is an emerging type of material, so its secrets are still being discovered. While working with the stuff, a team of Yale researchers created a brand new type of metallic glass, by shrinking samples down to the nanoscale until it forms
We've featured a fair number of underwater drones over the past few years, and they're pretty much all remotely-controlled by their shore-based users.
Many of today's camper vans are small, nimble machines versatile enough to double as everyday drivers. That generally means that the "bathroom" is little more than a portable toilet tucked away inside a cubby – if that.
