This solar powered motorcycle never needs charging for true energy independence

For years, electric mobility has been shaped by predictable patterns: bigger batteries, denser charging networks, and efficiency improvements that feel more evolutionary than revolutionary. Yet the dependency remains the same: riders still need plugs, stations, and the infrastructure that powers their daily movement. In the middle of this familiar landscape arrives a concept that doesn’t…

Public art installations have traditionally asked visitors to admire from a respectful distance, creating beautiful but passive experiences. Most architectural pavilions follow similar patterns, offering fixed spaces and predetermined views that remain unchanged regardless of who visits. This approach misses opportunities for deeper connections between people and built environments. Michael Jantzen’s Transmutation Observatory completely flips…

Skydweller: Largest autonomous, solar-powered drone can fly for three months without landing

Big names like NASA and Boeing have tried and failed in building solar-powered uncrewed aircrafts that can stay airborne for weeks. Their inability is largely attributed to structural challenge called aeroelasticity, where ‘flexible wings can’t handle turbulent air at altitudes between 6,500-32,000 feet.’ Now, a US-based tech company called Skydweller Aero has developed a solar…
