In the middle of this beast is a VA panel with the latest quantum mini-LED illumination tech, which manages to deliver stunning 4K resolution at 3840 by 2160 pixels. To make all that detail silky smooth, you get a 165Hz refresh rate, paired with a 1ms response time and over a thousand dimming zones.

California’s WeatherTech Raceway Laguna Seca has played host to some truly electrifying racing events. On December 9th, 2025, the Czinger 21C, a hypercar that’s been locked in a ‘rivalry for the ages’ with Koenigsegg, recording a 1 minute 22.30 seconds lap time, shaving a full two seconds off the production car lap record previously held by its rival.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered a planet that is unlike anything we’ve ever seen, far beyond our solar system. They named it PSR J2322-2650b, and it has some fairly weird features for where it is. This planet is orbiting a pulsar, which is essentially the spinning remnant of a big star that went supernova. According to the scientists, its shape resembles a lemon, although one that has been stretched out by its host’s gravitational pull.

The players down at the ground were directing the Tetris action, frantically tapping away at their buttons, while the machines provided instant feedback.

Researchers at the University of California, Santa Barbara, are developing a display that brings a digital image to life by giving it a tactile sense. Users can see visuals and run their fingers across the raised portions that correspond to what they see on the screen to obtain a true sense of the image. This innovative tech, known as optotactile pixels, transforms a flat screen into something that feels more like a three-dimensional object, all thanks to light.

Fans of the Blue Man Group have frequently found themselves tapping their toes to the characteristic pounding sound of their PVC pipe instruments, which are essentially just slapping pipes of varying lengths with paddles to produce these rhythmically resonating tones that fill theaters. Ivan Miranda, a Spanish maker known for his ambitious 3D-printed creations, decided to take it a step farther. He decided to take the whole pipe-slapping thing and build a version of the slapophone that connects to MIDI, allowing you to control it electronically while still producing the physical slap sound.
