Shokz OpenMove Headphones Offers Bone Conduction Audio on a Budget

By Jackson Chung December 13, 2025

Runners, bikers, and anyone else who has to navigate the turmoil of busy streets understands the challenge of maintaining a steady pace while remaining connected to the outside world. You’re either listening to music/podcasts on loop or wearing ordinary headphones that filter out horns, footsteps, and so on, but Shokz offers an alternative: bone conduction. This technology employs vibrations to send music directly from the cheekbones to the inner ear, leaving your ears free of external disturbances. The OpenMove, priced at $54.95 (was $79.95), is a less expensive way to try it out without sacrificing any of the magic.

Viktor Tóth began down this path a few years ago with a simple question: can rats figure out how to navigate the levels of a classic video game? He tried setting up something similar in New York a while back, with rats running on a large ball that logged their every move. As the rat ran back and forth on the spot, sensors detected its motion and turned it into forward movement within DOOM II. Every time the rat reached a specific point, a tube would appear and feed it a delectable drop of sugary water to keep it motivated and moving down those interminable halls.

Webb Discovers Fiery Super-Earth Clinging to Air Against All Odds

By Jackson Chung December 13, 2025

Astronomers have discovered a super-Earth located 280 light-years away in the Sextans constellation. Called TOI-561 b, a day there lasts only 11 hours because it is so close to its star. That said, you would expect the surface to be a giant ball of heat, yet it is still maintaining a thick layer of gas around itself.

Midea’s Six-Armed Robot Factory Worker Arrives, Called MIRO U

By Jackson Chung December 13, 2025

Midea Group, well-known for its air conditioners and washing machines, has just entered the high-end robots market. On December 5, 2025, at the Greater Bay Area New Economy Forum in Guangzhou, the company created a splash by introducing MIRO U. This item piqued people’s interest; it has six arms connected to a single human-like body seated on a wheeled platform. During the demos, as the arms sprang out in this fairly beautiful synchronized position, it’s safe to say that some people couldn’t help but imagine Doctor Strange summoning extra limbs for a fight.

Secret Walnut Spy Camera Watches Back

By Bill Smith December 12, 2025

Walnuts are a seriously satisfying way to get a crunch fix when the hunger pangs hit mid afternoon. Their strong shells conceal the delicious stuff within, and they disperse all over the place without anyone noticing—until now. Penguin DIY transformed that common cover into a super-sneaky camera, small enough to put into a bowl of mixed nuts and begin filming without anyone noticing.
