Construction has officially begun on New York City's most high-profile supertall skyscraper. Rising to a height of 1,226 ft, 2 World Trade Center will finally complete the rebuilt World Trade Center skyline.

Large and luxurious tiny houses are all well and good, but Dragon Tiny Homes' Fairfax 20' draws on the small living movement's modest roots with a compact, no-frills model that's up for sale for just $33,700.

Though it only has a compact footprint, this tiny house expands its living area significantly with a rooftop terrace. Inside, it features a space-saving layout that's packed with storage and sleeps five.

One common way of maximizing space in a tiny house is by embracing an indoor/outdoor lifestyle. The Shak leans into this idea by opening up almost its entire interior to the outside – even including the bathroom.

Rather than encompass the "toolbox in your pocket" nature of the typical multitool, the all-new Leatherman Adapter is designed to serve as a secondary companion, the perfect partner-in-crime for a more fully loaded pocket EDC like the Arc.

The new Aboard T4 smart trailer looks to squeeze all the motorized convenience and glamping comfort for which the high-tech RV vanguard has become known into a much smaller than average base price. Whether it's successful remains to be seen.

Huge sinkholes in nature have traditionally been viewed as a win for biodiversity, protecting plants that would otherwise be exposed to environmental stressors above ground. However, a new genetic study indicates they are an evolutionary death trap.

An individual’s testosterone levels aren’t fixed – they swing by the hour and the season. And while testosterone is biologically useful, it isn’t the measure of a man; real strength is not something that can be delivered by a hormone shot.

A newly described single-celled protist can metamorphose into much larger “supergiants” that shift their shape, alter their movement, and begin hunting and eating their own genetically identical relatives.

Following studies suggesting sleep disruptions may put us at greater risk of heart attack and stroke, a new investigation has found evidence of a jump in retinal vascular diseases in the wake of daylight saving changes.

While cost-of-living pressures have an impact on consumer behavior, one business appears to be booming: the vasectomy industry. And spearheading the societal shift are young men, who are driving the increase in those choosing to get the snip.

Skincare's next big leap may come from harnessing the skin's own immune defenses. Researchers say understanding how immune cells regulate inflammation and repair could transform treatments for acne, eczema, psoriasis and healthy aging.

The Artemis II mission, which will return US astronauts to lunar space, has run into problems that have critics demanding NASA remove the crew from the flight for safety reasons. The bigger question is, why do we have astronauts at all?

Electra's aircraft looks conventional enough, but it generates ludicrous amounts of lift, to take off and land at incredibly slow speeds, using almost no runway. With US$9 billion in pre-orders, it's outselling anything from the eVTOL world.

For ages, Earth has been known as a blue planet, a vision largely shaped by the vast oceans that cover three-quarters of its surface. But what if this wasn't always the case, and our oceans used to be green?

Researchers in the Netherlands have created mechanical structures that strangely shrink – or more precisely, snap inward – instead of stretching outward when pulled. This 'countersnapping' behavior could find use in tomorrow's soft robots.

This year Fender is celebrating the 75th anniversary of the Telecaster, and Nashville was chosen to host the Tele Town birthday party. We caught up with the CEO and Chief Product Manager before rocking the Tele's big night out at the Ryman Auditorium.

In the South China Sea, the aqua-colored waters of an expansive shallow reef platform suddenly gives way to a near vertical shaft of vast darkness – an ocean sinkhole almost entirely devoid of oxygen and, in turn, marine life as we know it.

Researchers have discovered a new way to potentially treat liver disease. By blocking a key inflammatory pathway it could be possible to reduce liver damage and improve blood vessel function in patients suffering cirrhosis.

For the last couple of years, Cixi has been working on a three-wheeled vehicle called Vigoz that's based on its chainless pedaling system. A skeletal prototype has been tested to 100 km/h, and now the company has revealed the latest production design.
