NASA James Webb Spiral Galaxy Collision
Deep in space, two massive spiral galaxies are slowly but inevitably pushed together by gravity. IC 2163 and NGC 2207 must have had a close call millions of years ago as they flew by each other at hundreds of kilometers per second. From Earth, they appear to be bound together, with their long, sweeping arms stretching out across the expanse in between, like giants reaching out to each other.

Sony PS-F5 Portable Turntable 1983
Sony debuted the PS-F5 in 1983, just as cassette tapes and the first Walkmans dominated portable music. Vinyl looked to be confined in living rooms, tethered to weighty platters and delicate arms.

Zion Brock had one goal in mind: to do something special for his father, who lives in a memory care home. With their flashing screens and countless options, modern electronics may be distracting.

Porcospino Flex Caterpillar Robot
Researchers at the University of Genoa have developed a crawling robot that travels on a single long piece with several spines connected. The Porcospino Flex robot is 670mm long, 165mm wide, and 145mm tall, weighing in at only 3.6kg. When designing this machine, the engineers were inspired by nature, notably the segmented bodies of millipedes and the spines utilized by porcupines. This resulted in a robot that can inspect tight pipes and debris-filled areas.
