A desktop charging station is an incredibly convenient accessory to have around, as more devices that we use daily require recharging. Keep your smartphone, tablet, smartwatch, headphones, and portable battery packs charged, organized, and ready with one of our top-rated picks. We've researched hundreds of charging stations and chose the most powerful ones that provide 2.4 amps of current per USB port, so you can quickly recharge all your favorite gadgets.

Most models we've recommended have earned a certification by the Underwriters' Laboratory (UL) Standard Technical Panel. This panel has analyzed charging stations’ construction, performance, and their electrical components to ensure that the devices won’t catch fire or overcharge your devices.
It's worth noting that some charging stations don't include a power supply, and most of them don't include charging cables, either. You'll have to use your own Lightning or USB cables that came with your devices, or purchase them separately.

For those models that don't include a power supply or any built-in USB ports, we recommend the Anker PowerPort 6. Its six ports each charge up to 2.4 amps, plus it pumps out 60 watts of power, and comes with an 18-month warranty. The PowerPort is compatible with the EasyACC 6-Port USB Charger Docking Stand, and the G.U.S. Multi-Device Charging Station Dock that we recommend. The PowerPort 6 is small enough to easily slide into these two docks, and it stays hidden so you don't have a tangled mess of cables. We also have reviews of smaller USB chargers that you may be able to use, too!

Forget Treehouses OAS1S Wants To Make Houses That Look Like Trees

When you talk about forest retreats, you tend to imagine a place filled with treehouse structures, where people can live right atop the thick trunks and branches of large, woody plants. OAS1S has a different kind of forest retreat in mind – instead of treehouses, people live in tall structures designed to look like trees that can be in the middle of a jungle without looking out of place.

The concept imagines designing a block in the city as an open space, filled with actual trees, kind of like a miniature park reserve. Then, you erect these tree-like structures within that expanse, essentially creating a community within a forest-like enclave. The lot is designed to be free of roads, so no cars can come through, essentially creating a green place in the middle of a bustling metropolis. You know, a literal urban jungle.

The design of the OAS1S buildings are, literally, based on the form of trees, so they’re a lot more narrow (16.4 x 16.4 feet, …

Our world is drowning in plastic waste—but these scientists think they have a way to turn all those empty water bottles into a fuel source.
The world is drowning in plastic waste. Ninety-one percent of the billions of tons of plastic produced is never recycled. Instead, most of it ends up in landfills, on beaches, or in the ocean.
So a team of researchers have devised a way to take old plastic and break it down into fuel.
Bioengineers working in biofuel development have spent the last 10 years using grants from to develop ways to turn agricultural waste—like byproducts from farming and logging industries—into fuel. When farmers harvest corn and process it into kernels, for example, the leftover leaves and stems are valuable waste products that can be leveraged by innovative practices and turned into something new.
A biological systems engineer of the project, told that one of the best things to do with that waste is make fuel.
“There’s a huge amount of biomass available,” he said. “W…

Why walk or drive when you can actually fly? Well, now you really can do that, with the futuristic Aero-X hover bike recently announced by California-based Aerofex. Unlike any other vehicle currently available on the innovative transportation market, the Aero-X is a hovercraft that lifts you off the ground to take you from place A to place B relatively quickly – and it’s super-easy to ride, too.

Easily adaptable to a wide variety of recreational as well as professional uses such as geo-surveys, search and rescue missions, border patrols, disaster relief, aerial agricultural inspections and herding management, the Aero-X is designed to make low-altitude flights up to 10 feet (some 3 meters) above the surface level at 45 miles per hour (72 km/h). The vehicle features four-wheel gear with castoring aft wheels and two fixed-pitch carbon fiber propellers fitted to the front and the back which allow it to hover above ground. It runs on automotive gasoline and can reportedly take off and la…
