Poland’s Avionics has created a limited edition e-bike for MB&F’s MAD Gallery that’s instilled with 1930s moto spirit. Like the V1 before it, the VM is a marriage of wood and metal, and comes with a 5-kW motor. Created exclusively for the Swiss watch-maker’s Mechanical Art Devices (MAD) Gallery, and limited to just 52 numbered units, the striking e-bike rocks […]

Doogee Doubles Down On Battery
Doogee’s rugged phones are known for being able to take a beating, and now the company’s newest model is designed to hold its own against that most frustrating of opponents: battery life. The Doogee N100 packs a huge 10,000-mAh battery, doubling that of previous models – and most other phones, for that matter. It’ll cost you some other specs, though. […]
Organic Burial Pods
It’s a pretty sad fact but not even dying is sustainable. Well, sure, if our bodies died and decomposed naturally, then yes, our bodies would become the Earth and biodegrade with the help of natural elements, animals, and insects. But in today’s established society, dead bodies biodegrading on their own accord just isn’t feasible. That’s why death practices like burying […]
Six-Wheeled Suspension Skateboard
Although several groups have developed skateboards that “carve” like snowboards, Freebord was among the first. The San Francisco-based company’s new 5-X takes things further, with independent suspension for four of the six wheels. Yeah, that’s right – whereas most skateboards have four wheels, the Freebord 5-X has six. There are the usual two sets of polyurethane wheels in the front […]
“Balcony Travel”
If flying cars and other similar vehicles become commonplace, our cities will surely need to adapt – but will New York City resemble The Jetsons, or look much like it does now, just with a few extra airports? A study led by MVRDV and Airbus has some interesting ideas. MVRDV spent two years collaborating with Airbus, alongside Bauhaus Luftfahrt, ETH […]

What Foods Have Glyphosate
In March 2019, Monsanto lost a lawsuit to a man named Edwin Hardeman, who claimed Monsanto’s herbicide product Roundup — the main ingredient in which is glyphosate — caused his non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Monsanto was ordered by the court to pay more than $80 million in damages to Hardeman. Ever since, glyphosate has become a household name, and definitely not in […]
Heat Camo Material Matches Ambient Temperature
While we’ve already seen materials that allow people or objects to hide from heat-detecting cameras, they’re typically only effective at one ambient temperature. An experimental new material, however, can be user-adjusted to work over a wide range. Heat-detecting sensors, such as those found in night-vision goggles, actually work by noting the temperature difference between the surface of an object and […]
