JCo Audio built a Raspberry Pi-powered MIDI spoon piano that sounds unique to say the least. The twelve metal spoons serve as the keys of the piano, placed on a wooden base similar to those of the white and black keys of a conventional keyboard.
There’s the Compal Rover, and then the SZBOX DS16, an interesting laptop that ditches a physical keyboard for two 16-inch (1920 x 1200) touchscreen displays. The bottom display can be propped up for an more optimal viewing angle, but you’ll still have to settle for a virtual keyboard.
It’s no ALPHA Wolf, but the 2024 BYD Shark is a plug-in hybrid pickup truck with both power and range. Power comes from a 1.5-liter four-cylinder engine, paired with two electric motors, that generates a combined 430 hp and 479 lb-ft of torque, enabling it to hit 62 mph in 5.7 seconds.
NASA’s Juno spacecraft captured a new image of Jupiter’s icy moon Europa using its Stellar Reference Unit (SRU). Scientists analyzed the data and found possible signs of plume activity as well as an area of ice shell disruption where brine may have recently bubbled to the surface.
AT&T has partnered with AST SpaceMobile to bring a space-based broadband network to everyday cell phones, turning them into satellite phones of sorts. Since this satellite-to-phone service uses satellites as cell towers, users will have connectivity even in remote areas like the wilderness or even on top of mountains.
JerryRigEverything puts the new iPad Pro M4 through various tests, including scratching designs into the back, testing the glass, and most importantly, seeing just how far he can bend it without something snapping.
Scientists, led by professors Yiqiang Wu and Caichao Wan from Central South University of Forestry and Technology (CSUFT), have developed an innovative transparent bamboo material. It consists of a three-layered flame-retardant barrier that reduces heat release, thus slowing flame spread, and restraining the emission of combustible volatiles, toxic smoke, as well as carbon dioxide.
Sony makes televisions, game consoles, laptops, and more, but how many knew the company also delves in microsurgery assistance robots? Not only can this machine automatically switch between tools, but it’s designed for surgeons to operate on extremely small blood vessels and nerves, even those measuring less than 0.04 inches.
