MIT just changed the game for brain disorders, and the project is called Circulatronics Researchers there created devices so small they can fit on a blood cell, injected them with a simple arm shot and let the body transport them to the brain.

Nintendo just released the first official trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie during a brief Direct on November 12, 2025. Fans have been waiting more than two years since the Super Mario Bros. Movie broke box office records, and this sequel promises to deliver the cosmic adventure they’ve been dreaming for. It’s being directed by Aaron Horvath as well as Michael Jelenic, and will be released in theaters in the United States on April 3, 2026.
Sony has officially unveiled its first gaming monitor bearing the PlayStation logo, and its main promise is fairly simple: transform any old desk into a true PS5 station. This 27-inch screen has a very basic specification: 2560 x 1440 resolution and an IPS display to keep the colors looking sharp even when seen from the side. Not quite cutting-edge, but Sony has been generous with the thoughtful PlayStation features they’ve included.
Manchi, a company unknown to most hardware enthusiasts, just launched a Kickstarter for something called the UltraBar X. At first glance it looks like a skinny touchscreen someone stretched out and placed in front of a keyboard.

Blytical wanted photos that looked like they were shot with a thrift store camcorder, not another phone filter. He created Retro Cam, a handheld device that records true analog video and converts it into blurry, flickering stills as well as clips, all without using a single digital trick. It fits in your hand like a bulky point-and-shoot from the early 2000s, but each frame has the smooth blur and color drift of an old VHS tape.
Holiday seasons demand a TV that can last through those long – and we mean LONG – movie nights and the screaming sports fan in the other room.

Pixar just released the first Toy Story 5 teaser today and we’re back in Bonnie’s room where Woody, Buzz and the gang are in for their biggest challenge yet. A frog-shaped smart tablet named Lilypad, voiced by Greta Lee, has arrived and the old guard of pull-string cowboys and space rangers are in trouble.
