Northwestern University researchers have discovered a method to create natural cement at beaches to prevent erosion by zapping sand with electricity. Technically speaking, they applied a mild electrical current that instantaneously changed the structure of marine sand, transforming it into a rock-like, immovable solid.
Netherlands’ Project Milestone is set to get two more 3D-printed homes, but unlike the first batch, these new structures will consist of several floors. Their structural properties are derived entirely from the printed concrete, but in the shape of a habitable ‘boulder’.
NASA / ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope captured this incredible image of the Triangulum Galaxy, also known as Messier 33 (M33), located around 2,730,000 million light years from Earth in the constellation Triangulum. It’s the third-largest member of our Local Group of galaxies and known to be a hotbed of starbirth, forming stars at a rate 10 times higher than the average of its neighbor, the Andromeda galaxy.
Unplugged Performance is no stranger to the Tesla Cybertruck, and the Archimedes Sting is right up their alley. This includes the UP INVINCIBLE off-road package which consists of Starlink connectivity as well as the ability to go off-grid via a compact, lightweight frunk-mounted AMP Drive G125 aviation-derived 800V genset designed to run on jet fuel.
The 1927 Citroen B12 Torpedo may have been the first car with self-parking assist, but this new prototype EV from IM Motors takes it to the next level with sideways parking technology. This is achieved through specially developed electric motors in the rear wheels that enable them to rotate in the opposite direction.

A Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer (SBC) typically isn’t something you’d associate with being portable, but the modular Consolo cyberdeck aims to change that preconceived notion. What sets this apart from a standard tablet or laptop is its ability to let users attach a physical keyboard or other add-ons using a slot on the bottom of the device.
We won’t be seeing the ID.7 Tourer stateside, but the all-electric 2025 Volkswagen ID. Buzz will land in the US later this year, priced from $59,995 USD. The base Pro S RWD variant has a single motor making 282 hp, while the dual-motor 4Motion AWD generates 335 hp.
