At some point, every well-designed room has a thermostat on the wall. And at some point, nearly every well-designed room has been slightly let down by it. That’s the quiet irony of home design. We agonize over paint colors, hunt for the perfect light fixtures, spend weekends debating sofa legs, and then right there...

WIRED called them the brands that stole the show, and at CES Las Vegas in January 2026, KOSMERA arrived with a four-door high-performance GT prototype wearing a blue-black finish that New Atlas described as magnificent in person, noting its low-sloping hood, big rear wing, and dual-layer diffuser. SupercarBlondie’s...

Wearables are targeting most of our burning health concerns, but sun exposure damage is still in the guessing game. Stacy Salvi, who has previously led the acquisition of Fitbit by Google, and is a health expert when it comes to tech wearables, wants skincare to be more considerate when it comes to active sun exposure....

The way natural light moves through a home is something architects spend considerable effort thinking about and homeowners rarely control. A room that gets good morning light may feel completely flat by afternoon. A basement office might go weeks in dim, color-distorted artificial light that strains your eyes and makes...

Most of us don’t spend a lot of time thinking about seaweed. It turns up in sushi, drifts around in the ocean, and occasionally ruins a beach day. But seaweed farming is quietly becoming one of the more compelling conversations in sustainable food and ocean health, and the tools that support it are finally starting...

Consumer tablets have gotten remarkably thin and capable, but the categories of people who actually use tablets on a job site, in a warehouse, or out in the field have largely been served by a different and considerably more expensive tier of hardware. Most rugged tablets come either from enterprise-only brands with...

June has arrived with a lineup that doesn’t bother hedging. Each gadget on this list makes a clear and distinct point: about privacy, portability, or what it actually means to build something for the person using it rather than around them. These aren’t incremental updates dressed up in a press release. They’re...

Some collaborations make perfect sense the moment you hear about them. Fritz Hansen and Technics pairing up feels like that kind of announcement, the sort that makes you stop scrolling and actually read the press release. A Danish design house with a lamp rooted in 1936 Bauhaus tradition, and a Japanese audio brand...

Budget and mid-range smartphones have gotten remarkably good at matching flagship features on paper, but battery life has remained one of the few areas where even expensive phones routinely disappoint. Most flagships are built thin at the cost of capacity, and charging cycles have become part of the daily routine...

About ten years ago, designer Adam C Miller made a pillbox for a close friend living with an invisible illness. The standard option available to her was the familiar hard plastic pharmacy organizer, practical enough, but hardly something anyone would want to carry proudly or leave out in the open. Miller decided she...
