DJI Mic Mini 2 Brings Color and Everyday Ease to Wireless Audio

By Jackson Chung April 28, 2026

DJI finally revealed the Mic Mini 2 microphone system this morning, and the transmitter now has a nifty front cover that pops off in seconds thanks to magnets, giving you the option of plain black or white, or a few fancier designs done in Victo Ngai’s style, such as pink-purple swirls, blue-green blurs, fiery orange-red hues, or even black-gold, and then there are the brighter options like teal, yellow, and purple. It weighs only 11 grams, making it simple to cling to your shirt or lapel without anyone seeing, but it really pops out when you want it to complement whatever you’re wearing.

Ultrasonic Levitation, But With a Twist

By Jackson Chung April 28, 2026

Steve Mould was the most recent person to get his hands on a miniature arena in which minuscule disks appear to float across a surface as if by magic. In his most recent levitation experiment, most can’t believe how easy it is to generate the type of motion you see, thanks to some rapid vibrations. Bob Collins just happened to come across the idea years ago while trying to figure out what was wrong with the guidance systems used on British torpedoes at the time.

Racing Fan Builds Working Formula 1 Car in Garage

By Bill Smith April 27, 2026

Kevin Thomas from Burgess Hill saw the mangled carbon fiber tub in front of him as a complete racing machine simply waiting for little TLC. Ten years ago, that tub was part of a Caterham F1 vehicle, and it was the focal point of a spectacular crash at the 2014 Hungarian Grand Prix. After the team disbanded owing to financial issues, it was allowed to gather dust with three missing wheels and a critically damaged center structure. It was cleared out by debt collectors and then sold at auction, where Kevin purchased it.

Prototype Camera Finally Photographs the Paths of Invisible Ghost Particles

By Jackson Chung April 27, 2026

Scientists in Switzerland have developed a prototype camera capable of capturing clear three-dimensional images of neutrinos, particles so elusive they often earn the label ghost particles. Neutrinos come in huge numbers from the sun and other sources throughout space, yet they interact so rarely with ordinary matter that trillions pass through a person every second without any effect

By Bill Smith April 27, 2026

Crowds gathered the stands at zMAX Dragway in North Carolina for the NHRA 4-Wide Nationals, eager for the Ford Cobra Jet 2200 to go down the track. This electric beast ran the quarter-mile in 6.87 seconds, far faster than its predecessor, the Cobra Jet 1800, which took 7.62 seconds. It’s not just the time that matters; the Cobra Jet 2200 reached an astonishing 222 miles per hour, smashing any electric vehicle’s previous record.a

Why the ASUS TUF Gaming F16 Quietly Became the Gaming Laptop Worth Grabbing Now

By Jackson Chung April 27, 2026

Shoppers looking for a good gaming machine these days are frequently met with component prices that continue to rise, with many top-of-the-line solutions that would have been affordable a few months ago being exceedingly expensive. Against this backdrop, the ASUS TUF Gaming F16 (2025) appears deceptively low-cost at $899.99 (was $1,299.99), as if it’s almost too good to be true.

Justin White spent 13 months working in his Australian garage on a project that evolved from humble beginnings to something far greater than anyone had anticipated. He had set out to build a half-scale duplicate of the Toyota GR Yaris Rally1. This was not a model, however; it was a single-seater built to travel down real roads rather than rest on a shelf. The finished design piqued Toyota Gazoo Racing’s interest, and they quickly flew both White and his innovation to the Rallye Monte Carlo, the season opener for 2026.

By Jackson Chung April 27, 2026

Just a few days before its 36th anniversary, Hubble’s latest image provides a glimpse of a small fraction of the Trifid Nebula, and it is a real stunner…This cosmic marvel is located roughly 5,000 light years away in the constellation of Sagittarius, and it is essentially an active factory for new stars, producing stars left, right, and center from a swirling maelstrom of gas and dust.

3D Controller Doubles as a Functional Computer Mouse

By Jackson Chung April 27, 2026

David Liu sat down at his computer, his wrist still aching from whatever had ailed it, and picked up a Kensington SlimBlade Pro trackball in the hopes that it would provide some much-needed relief from all the mouse clicking. Four months later, this became a completely new way to manage 3D applications. Simply roll the ball back and forth like you would on a desk to rotate and move objects with natural ease.
