Lack of key mineral induces male mice to develop ovaries

1 day ago | newatlas.com | Michael Franco

A surprising finding from researchers in Japan has shown how an environmental factor can influence the development of sex organs in unborn mice. The discovery challenges the longstanding belief that sex is determined purely by genetic factors.
Praga Bohema becomes the fastest pure combustion car around Top Gear track

2 days ago | newatlas.com | Utkarsh Sood

It was not too long ago when a certain Stig was racing cars around the Dunsfold Aerodrome in the Bohema on Top Gear. The masked maskot certainly knew how to race cars, and it seems like he’s put his powers to use again … only to break his own record. This time, the Stig (aka Ben Collins) raced a Praga Bohema, a car that produces less than half the power produced by modern-day hypercars. Was it all skill then? Nope, much of it had to do with the car itself.

4 days ago | newatlas.com | Paul Ridden

Archer has released video footage of the first flight of its Midnight eVTOL with a pilot at the controls, though the aircraft rolled down a runway to take off rather than using its rotors to lift it vertically. We've already seen Archer's five-seat Midnight air taxi rise vertically from the tarmac in the latter half of 2023, following years of testing and tweaking of prototypes like the two-seat Maker demonstrator.
Inside-out tent rips open crystal-clear views of the starry night sky

4 days ago | newatlas.com | C.C. Weiss

Perhaps the best part of spending a night outdoors in a tent is lying on your back and watching an explosive astronomical performance play out on the stage of dark wilderness sky. The average tent, however, isn't optimized for the experience. What good is a gorgeous star-filled sky if you're lying below an opaque rain fly?

4 days ago | newatlas.com | Adam Williams

Back in 2023, plans were revealed for a high-rise project in New York City that consisted of two connected towers.

The updated design is being handled by original architects CetraRuddy Architecture and Silverstein Properties is still developing. The location also remains unchanged and it will be situated on Manhattan’s Far West Side.

Makers, tinkerers, modelers and crafters looking for an edge that smoothly cuts through a range of materials like they're all butter might find the NeoBlade of interest – which is claimed to be the world's most compact wireless ultrasonic cutter. The NeoBlade from Hong Kong's Hozo Design has been developed to make slicing into a wide range of materials – from 3D-printed models in PLA to carbon fiber and printed circuit boards to carbon fiber and plywood – a whole lot easier.
Ancient solar storm 18 percent stronger than 775 AD event

A study published in the journal Earth and Planetary Science Letters has uncovered evidence of an extreme ancient solar storm that struck Earth over 14,000 years ago, during the waning days of the last Ice Age. This event is now confirmed as the most powerful solar particle storm on record, exceeding the infamous 775 CE storm that was long considered the strongest.

Living tattoos could transform building exteriors with microbial life

5 days ago | newatlas.com | Michael Franco

A consortium of researchers from four European countries is developing a way to tattoo microbial life on the exterior of buildings. These "living tattoos" will be able to suck carbon out of the air, protect the buildings, and even make them glow. According to the researchers, buildings with a total surface area of 9.4 billion square meters are predicted to be built or rehabilitated in the European Union over the next 25 years.
