When the original Suzuki Vitara launched in 1988, it was essentially in a class of one, a cute three-door with a foldable roof for summertime shenanigans. The Vitara Turbo we've been driving this week doesn't have much in common with the original, but that's no bad thing. Read more

Some people install subwoofers in their car, or put one on the shelf in their room to get the bass kicking. For some forward-thinking music nuts (you), however, it's not enough to just hear the bass. You want to feel it. And that's where Basslet comes in. This silent subwoofer straps around our wrist just like a watch and wirelessly pairs with any headphones with a 3.5mm audio jack to sync seamlessly with the music, letting you feel the thump of the bass as it plays in your head. It's a powerful, futuristic music experience that headphones alone just can't provide. Read more
If supercars have become a bit too ho-hum, perhaps what you really need to bring on a new wave of enthusiasm is ... an aquarium? That's what one supercar startup is thinking, combining all-electric power and extreme styling in a unique 2+2 layout (2 people, 2 fish). Read more
Hot on the heels of its Tiny Giant, Alpine Tiny Homes has shared another recently-completed model with us. The dwelling has just 280 sq ft of floorspace, but still offers lots of room to store belongings, thanks to a well-designed interior that's chock-full of cupboards, nooks, and drawers. Read more
ISS Commander Peggy Whitson has broken the record for cumulative time spent in space by a NASA astronaut. Whitson is currently serving her third stint aboard the ISS, and with 5 months of her mission remaining, is set to rack up over 650 days in space before touching back down on Earth. Read more
Bo and Luke Duke may have been driving a Charger back in the day, but the 1969 Charger's successor is definitely the current-generation Challenger. Put behind the wheel of the 2017 Dodge Challenger GT in bright orange paint – as we drove it – you may want to change your name, too. Read more
Isolated communities often lack garbage disposal infrastructure, meaning it’s hard to either truck out the trash or process it on-site. The Trashpresso is designed to lighten the load a little, as a semi-portable, solar-powered plant that turns trash into tiles. Read more
Duke University is developing a cartilage-like material based on hydrogel that allows bioengineers to create bespoke artificial 3D-printed replacement parts for injured knees that are tailored to match the old part both in shape and mechanical properties. Read more
Masrasector nananubis might have been no bigger than a skunk, but that didn't prevent it from becoming top dog after the dinosaurs died out. Named after the Egyptian god of mummification, its rise and fall is part of an epic evolutionary tale of climate change and continental drift. Read more
Let's be honest … when it comes to bicycles, a lot of us do want something that looks a little different. If you're one of those people, then you might be interested in the NoBike. If nothing else, it'll definitely get you noticed. Read more
When it comes to assessing the chronic muscle stiffness of patients with conditions such as cerebral palsy and multiple sclerosis, doctors pretty much just go by feel. That's why scientists are developing a glove that measures muscle stiffness objectively. Read more

The Cassini mission is drawing to a close, but the spacecraft still had enough pluck to send a postcard back to its home planet featuring a image of Earth shot from between Saturn's rings. Cassini took the picture on April 12, when it was 870 million miles (1.4 billion kilometers) away from Earth. Read more
The 3D-printing of glass objects has been achieved before – we've seen it done by extruding molten glass, and even via a modern take on an ancient Egyptian technique. A new process, however, is claimed to produce complex glass items of a higher quality than has ever previously been possible. Read more
