Robotic RV solar panel auto-tracks the sun to double base camp power
Roboteos has developed an RV rooftop solar charging system that automatically deploys and tracks the sun all day. Called the Heliotrope 1.0, it's designed to pull in every last photon, giving van lifers the most charge without any extra effort.
Frozen human brain tissue works perfectly when thawed 18 months later
In good news for future animation figureheads, there might be a new way to revive frozen brains without damaging them. Scientists in China have developed a new chemical concoction that lets brain tissue function again after being frozen.
Morgan and Pininfarina reinterpret the Morgan Barchetta
A collaboration between Morgan's 115-year coachbuilding philosophy and Pininfarina's 95-year tradition of crafting bespoke vehicles has given us a 50-only limited edition Morgan model to be known as the Midsummer. They have all been sold already.
