Microsoft has developed an innovative tech demo featuring an AI-generated version of Quake II, a classic first-person shooter originally released in 1997. They used their Muse AI tool, which was showcased earlier in 2025 as something that can make game visuals and simulate gameplay. The demo represents an evolution of this technology, showcasing a real-time, playable version of Quake II where every frame is generated on the fly by the AI.
Astronomers just spotted a huge spiral galaxy using James Webb Space Telescope data that they’re nicknaming a “Big Wheel’ because it’s so big and comes from way back in time. This galaxy is about five times heavier than our Milky Way and covers an area twice as wide, making it one of the biggest spiral galaxies they’ve ever seen in the distant universe.
The Video-Volley is an old home video game system from around 1980, probably made right at the end of the big Pong craze in the late 1970s. It was built by TD Manufacturing Company, a name you won’t find in big gaming books, so it was likely a small company or one that only sold stuff locally in Texas. They might have jumped into video games after seeing Atari’s Home Pong hit it big in 1975, but didn’t stick around long.
The Ulefone Armor 30 Pro is a rugged smartphone with two screens and super-fast 5G internet. It has a big 6.95-inch main screen that refreshes 120 times a second for smooth scrolling, plus a smaller 3.4-inch screen on the back. That back screen is great for stuff like taking selfies, checking videos before you record, or even helping with translations. Both are covered with tough Corning Gorilla Glass 5 to keep them from scratching or breaking.
The Car Zoo, a shop in Middlesbrough, North Yorkshire, England, came up with a fun idea.

Westwood Robotics’ brand-new THEMIS V2 is a life-sized robot that’s about 5 feet 3 inches tall, and it’s got 40 different ways it can move (called degrees of freedom, or DoF). That means it can bend and twist a lot, almost like a person. The biggest improvements in this version are its arms, capable of moving in 6 different ways, while its hands (called end-effectors), can move in 7 ways.
