Apple Foldable iPhone Jon Prosser Leak Render
Technology leaker Jon Prosser recently shared detailed renders of Apple’s yet-to-be-announced foldable iPhone, giving everyone a sense of what’s in store for 2026. The design they’ve allegedly selected is similar to a book fold, in that you simply flip it out to reveal a much larger screen to play with, and when closed, the device is only 9mm thick, which is quite sleek in smartphone terms. When you flip it open, the thickness slims down to 4.5mm, making the phone way easier to carry in your pocket.

Sound-Powered Artificial Muscles
Researchers at ETH Zurich have made a significant breakthrough in building artificial muscles that can be manipulated using ultrasonic sound waves. The technology is based on a silicone base material that has been molded into thin, flexible membranes with teeny small pores on one side, each around 100 micrometers across. Each of these holes contains a tiny air pocket, which forms a trapped bubble.

Hubble Largest Protoplanetary Disk Circling Star
A team of astronomers has observed the largest protoplanetary disk ever seen circling a young star some 1,000 light years away. This churning expanse of gas and dust spans roughly 400 billion miles, 40 times the size of our solar system and extending to the Kuiper Belt. They’ve cataloged this disk as IRAS 23077+6707, also known as Dracula’s Chivito, and it’s easy to see why given its completely opaque center, which Hubble’s high resolution photo has peeled away to reveal a really odd image.
