Countries with the most and least electric cars

Electric vehicles (EVs) are gaining serious momentum worldwide as countries strive for more sustainable transport. In just five years, the number of EVs on the road surged to over 27 million by 2023—a dramatic rise from earlier numbers. China is at the forefront, with Norway, Sweden, and Germany setting a strong pace in Europe, while the US is catching up, too. But it’s not only global giants leading the shift; smaller nations are also stepping up, integrating EVs into their transport systems and showing that size doesn’t limit impact. From major players to smaller trailblazers, the electric revolution is reshaping how the world moves. Click through the following gallery to see which countries are steering the future of driving (and which could use a push).

Legendary screen cars through the years

While a car is not usually the first thing that comes to mind when you think "Hollywood star," many creators use automobiles as movie and television characters themselves. Some cars are the stars of the show, as in the Pixar film 'Cars' (2006). A critical and commercial success, the movie featured dozens of talking vehicles and was praised by one critic as one of the "most imaginative and appealing movies ever." Some cars have become Hollywood legends. Sean Connery's James Bond is forever associated with his gadget-laden Aston Martin DB5. Who can forget Steve McQueen's character burning rubber in his Ford Mustang Fastback in 'Bullitt' (1968) during one of the most famous car chase sequences ever made? And Batman simply wouldn't be the same without his Batmobile. Cars have also made a big impact on the small screen. Some of television's most popular shows are distinguished by a set of cool wheels. Think 'The Dukes of Hazzard' and the General Lee screeches into view, horns blaring "Dixie." And what about that souped-up van those soldiers of fortune, the A-Team, used to get themselves in and out of trouble with? Cars hit the screen as Hollywood flourished in the early 20th century. Mack Sennett, the King of Comedy, is especially remembered for his silent-era Keystone Cops movies and the slapstick car chases that always ended up in a collective wreck on the sidewalk. The success of these pioneering two-reelers coincided exactly with the rise of the mass-market automobile, and Hollywood quickly sought mileage out of this desirable new commodity. Today, entire film franchises are based around cars (think 'The Fast and the Furious'). But it's the unique and singular appeal of a particular model that endures. Take a drive through this gallery of some of the most iconic screen autos ever, and you'll get an idea of why cars are often just as important as actors.

How the fork almost destroyed society

We rarely stop to think about the objects we use every day. A chair, a shoe, a pen—all so woven into the fabric of our lives that they seem timeless and inevitable. And then there’s the fork. Smooth. Efficient. Utterly unremarkable—until you trace its origins. Long before it became just another item in the cutlery drawer, the fork was an invention that sparked heavy debate, defiance, and discomfort. Its entry into society wasn’t smooth or swift; it came with striking scandal, and many people spoke of how this simple utensil was a symbol of moral decline. What happens when a tool meant to assist nourishment becomes a hated symbol of class and control? And how did the noble fork go from being reviled by clergy to revered by aristocrats and eventually accepted by everyone else? Click through this gallery to find out.
