Germany's Mahle is reported to be one of the world's largest manufacturers of automotive components. But the company also makes ebike motors and has now launched into the eMTB space with a mid-drive claimed to be "one of the most powerful systems on the market."

Although AI-based restoration methods can indeed bring new life to damaged paintings, the end result is typically a digital copy of the original painting. By contrast, a new MIT technique applies reversible repairs to the physical painting itself, in the form of a removable mask.

Although there already are "smart" contact lenses that monitor the eyes for signs of glaucoma, the devices are typically only worn when the patient is awake. A new type of contact lens, however, watches over the eyes throughout the night, too. newatlas.com/medical-device…

The instant we saw the Torsus Praetorian off-road bus for the first time, we knew: That would make an absolutely killer expedition motorhome. There was a false start or two, but the big, bad beast of a bus has finally completed its destiny. And it's done it with more flair and

Some 14 years after we first reported on it – and following multiple challenges and false starts – the ambitious plan to create a self-filtering floating public pool in a New York City river is now finally under construction. newatlas.com/architecture/p… #NYCpool #FloatingPoolNYC

Back in 2014, French e-mobility company AEMotion set out to "combine the agility of a motorcycle with the safety profile of a four-wheeled vehicle." After much prototyping, its two-person tilting creation is up for pre-order ahead of production next year. newatlas.com/urban-transpor…

Mosquitoes have long been among humanity’s most formidable adversaries, plaguing us for thousands of years and causing more deaths than any other animal. With traditional control methods facing mounting resistance, researchers are seeking innovative ways to combat mosquito-borne

It turns out that donkeys are exceptionally good at repelling deer ticks. Now, researchers at the University of Massachusetts Amherst (UMA) have harnessed that ability to create a natural bug repellent that proved as effective as DEET at fighting the pests.

It's not your underarm sweat that stinks, it's the volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by bacteria as they break down the fatty acids in that sweat. A new device is claimed to prevent the stink without the use of deodorant, by killing those bacteria with plasma.

The company best known for churning out affordable smartphones and other consumer electronics – that may or may not be reporting back to the CCP – just made the fastest electric sedan on the planet to lap the famed Nürburgring Nordschleife racetrack. newatlas.com/automotive/xia…

For the first time, researchers have identified a protein that represses the activity of energy-burning brown fat. The discovery opens the door to developing treatments for the extreme weight loss, muscle wasting, and malnutrition seen in some types of cancer.

Talk about thinking small: researchers at Harvard University have devised a new way to implant flexible bioelectronic devices in the embryos of frogs, mice, and lizards, enabling them to monitor brain activity as these creatures develop. newatlas.com/biology/cyborg…

Teenage Engineering has put its unique stamp on budget and high-end audio gear over the years, but has also ventured outside of its box on occasion. The latest example of that is an electric moped/scooter called the epa-1, developed with fellow Swedes Vässla Micromobility.

More than a decade ago, a startup launched on Kickstarter to fund an automated guitar tuner called the Roadie. Now the company has returned to the platform with the smarter, faster, smoother and more powerful fourth generation. newatlas.com/music/roadie-4… #RoadiePocketTuner

In a perfect world, everything you tried to clamp in a vise would have nice straight sides. The world isn't perfect, though, which is where the Tivise comes in. It's a modern-day fractal vise with jaws that adapt to the unique shape of whatever's placed inside of it.

Psilocybin, the active compound in "magic mushrooms," has seen a surge in medical research over the past few years, particularly for its potential in treating psychiatric and neurological conditions like depression and post-traumatic stress disorder. newatlas.com/psychedelics/p…

Variable Valve Timing isn’t a new concept in motorcycle engines. The likes of BMW and Yamaha have been using this setup in their motorcycles for a while now. Even Suzuki itself implemented it on the 2017 GSX-R1000 engine, borrowing the system from its GSX-RR MotoGP bike.

If you like portable yet capable camp stoves, then you'll probably like the FireNest. Sporting an all-titanium body, it folds flat when not in use, and can be quickly assembled to let you sear, grill, boil, or just plain ol' cook over an open flame. newatlas.com/outdoors/firen…
