Remember when everyone was saying that the Chinese were developing advanced battery technology that would change the rules of the game? These weren't just rumors. For at least three years, information has been circulating that some of their battery cells can withstand extremely fast charging - much faster than we are used to in Europe.

While the world is still debating whether electric cars are really the future, China's BYD has hit the nail on the head and proven that the future is not just near - it's already here. Their new fast-charging technology promises to top up an electric vehicle's battery faster than it takes to find the right charging cable in the trunk. So - fast-charging electric cars, coming to series production next month.
Have you ever wondered why jeans have that miniature pocket - a tiny pocket on your jeans that you can barely fit your finger in, let alone anything useful? Maybe you've used it for a coin, a USB stick, or - if you're really optimistic - even a spare apartment key. But if you thought it was just a design quirk, you're wrong! This tiny detail has a rich history that dates back more than 150 years.
When it comes to basketball, it's hard to ignore the influence of Luka Dončić. The Slovenian prodigy made headlines with his move to the Los Angeles Lakers, and now he's winning back fans' hearts with his latest signature sneaker – the Jordan Brand Luka 4. What sets these sneakers apart from the rest, and why are they already the object of desire for many?
Porsche is starting the new 2025 cycling season in its characteristic style – with a top-notch technical masterpiece on two wheels - the Porsche eBike Sport 2025. This is the fifth generation of the Porsche eBike Sport, which is not just another electric bike in the crowd, but a true electric revolution that elegantly combines urban comfort and adrenaline-pumping pleasures on easy terrain.
Renault is reviving the legendary five in a completely new, electric version – and in a way that will leave you speechless. The Renault 5 Turbo 3E is not just a tribute to a rally legend, but a true road rocket. With 536 horsepower (400 kW), a staggering 4,800 Nm of torque and an acceleration to 100 km/h in three seconds, this electric "mini supercar" is ready to shake up the world of high-performance EVs.
If you know MB&F at all, you know that for almost two decades, this watchmaker has been creating watches that are more works of art than classic timepieces. Their models usually cost as much as a new car – or even an apartment. Then in 2021, Max Büsser did something that no one expected: he introduced the MAD1, a watch with all the eccentricity of MB&F, with a surprisingly “modest” price tag of around 3,000 EUR (comparable USD).
When we think of the most eco-friendly car in the world, we probably imagine some futuristic solar-powered vehicle or a Tesla with next-generation technology. But no! The winner of the prestigious ADAC Ecotest 2024 comes from France and bears a name we've known for decades - the Peugeot E-208!
Science has surprised us many times before – for example, by showing that chocolate can be healthy (in the right amounts, of course). Now comes a new sensation: weight loss drugs could have the potential to slow down aging. Can you imagine? A pill that not only melts away excess pounds, but also slows down time!
What to watch on Netflix, Hulu, Max, Disney+, Apple TV+, Prime Video, Paramount+, Peacock... and the list goes on. Streaming platforms have become a jungle, where you can easily lose an hour (or two) in the flood of movies and series, only to find yourself watching The Office again. But don't worry - we've saved you that painful decision.
Omega is celebrating the 20th anniversary of its Planet Ocean collection this year, and they've apparently decided to surprise us with something we never knew we needed, but now we absolutely want. They've taken the worldtimer from their elegant Aqua Terra line and built it into their most rugged diver's watch yet. The result? The new Omega Seamaster Planet Ocean Worldtimer - a massive ceramic beast that lets you track time zones around the world while surviving depths where most watches (and people) give up.
