Tadej Pogacar blasted race officials after being denied a water bottle in the final 15km of a blistering Vuelta a España stage. He survived a dangerous descent, then beat Enric Mas in a two-up sprint, with Mas moving into second overall. The feed-zone cutoff left the peloton without water late on, and Pogacar criticized the decision amid the day’s 34°C heat.
Health experts warn that bottled water left in hot cars can allow chemicals like BPA and phthalates to leach from the plastic, along with microplastics migrating into the liquid and bacteria growing in the moisture and warmth; switching to stainless-steel or glass bottles and keeping bottles clean is advised to reduce exposure.
A Walmart-recalled Ozark Trail stainless steel water bottle has been linked to multiple injuries, including at least two cases of permanent vision loss caused by the lid ejecting forcefully upon opening. Consumers are advised to stop using the product and seek a refund at Walmart.
Naples-based water bottle company Coldest, founded by twin civil engineers, is set to appear on Shark Tank after gaining attention on social media platforms like TikTok.

Researchers from Johns Hopkins University and MIT have studied the microstructure of the belly feathers of African sandgrouse, which can hold about 15% of their body weight in water and keep most of it safe during a roughly 40 mph flight home that takes about a half hour. The researchers believe that the findings could lead to new bio-inspired creations, including a more efficient water bottle design. The sandgrouse's specially adapted belly feathers hold water through a forest of barbules near the shaft, working together with the curled barbules near the tip, acting almost like caps.
Researchers at Johns Hopkins University and Massachusetts Institute of Technology have studied the feathers of the desert-dwelling sandgrouse, which can hold up to 15% of their body weight in water while flying. Using high-resolution microscopes and 3D technology, they discovered the singular architecture of the feathers and how they can hold so much water. The team hopes their findings will inspire new bio-inspired creations, such as a water bottle that prevents swinging and sloshing, netting for collecting water from fog and dew in desert regions, and medical swabs that are easier to use.
