Drivers are frequently forced to rely on old, simple coolers with ice that melts faster than a popsicle on a hot day, leaving everything wet by the time they reach. That’s where the BougeRV 23-quart unit, priced at $159.97 (was $189.99), comes in, a more practical solution that plugs directly into your car’s normal 12V socket and keeps items perfectly chilled without any of the fuss.

Landmines and unexploded shells transform tracts of terrain into silent time bombs, slowing armies and claiming lives long after the conflict has ended.

Scientists from MIT’s Media Lab have developed extremely thin strands that wrap and unravel at the flip of an electric switch. They strikingly resemble your own muscles. When grouped together, they can generate significant force and movement, all while remaining completely silent and hidden.
