theverge.com Peter Nelson 2025-08-12 10:00:00

As exciting as it is to see how electric technology redefines automotive transportation, it’s just as exciting to see how it alters what we already have. In the aftermarket, EV-converted restomods are quickly becoming big business. But direct from manufacturers, there’s great potential in electrifying legacy badges by seamlessly blending old design with new technology.

One of the weirdest choices made in the previous three Jurassic World films was not to lean on John Williams’ iconic score from the original Jurassic Park.

Each layer can carry therapeutics as well as molecules that help the particles find and enter cancer cells. But the process is time-consuming and would be difficult to scale up.

MIT engineers use 3D-printed steel to repair corroded bridge

The big picture: According to the American Society of Civil Engineers, more than half of the 623,218 bridges in the US are in a state of significant deterioration. Getting them back in good standing would cost north of $191 billion – no small chunk of change. For researchers at MIT, finding a more cost-effective solution using modern technology is a worthy cause.
