NTU researchers spent seven years building a magnetic robot just 4.4 millimeters long. The compact machine performs five surgical functions through external control alone. It travels across soft tissue, cuts when required, dispenses medicine, gathers samples, and creates localized heat. Work on the project took place in the School of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering under Associate Professor Lum Guo Zhan.
Diorama111 released a fresh build just days ago that shows what happens when extreme miniaturization meets real remote control hardware. He started with an ordinary KATO 1/150 scale Toyota ProBox, the kind of plastic model that sits on N-gauge train layouts or display shelves. Most builders stop at painting and weathering. He kept going until the little van could roll under its own power, steer on command, and light up properly in both directions.
Samsung refreshed its smartwatch lineup with careful attention to daily comfort and practical health details that many people actually use. The Galaxy Watch 8, priced at $290 (was $350), arrives in two sizes and focuses on longer battery stretches, a brighter screen, and several new measurements that go beyond basic step counts or heart rate. For anyone eyeing an Apple Watch alternative while carrying an Android phone, this model presents a clear case worth examining closely.
Flights within a country’s boundaries can cover a long distance, but there are a few itineraries that genuinely test the definition of non-stop domestic service. Both are extraordinarily long journeys from a mainland center to an island in the middle of the ocean, which are technically classified as domestic under government standards.

Exploration of the iOS 27 developer beta has turned up several strings of code that seem built specifically for a folding iPhone. These references include terms for tracking foldState along with the mechanical angle of a hinge measured in degrees. Such details would allow the operating system to understand exactly how the device is positioned at any given time, potentially unlocking new ways for apps to respond when the screens sit at different angles.
