3D printing’s always been stuck with a pesky size limit—your average printer’s cramped build area forces makers to slice big designs into awkward chunks, gluing them together like a clumsy puzzle. It’s a pain, and the results often scream compromise. But what if you could churn out massive creations in one shot without needing a warehouse-sized machine? Makers Ivan Miranda and Jón Schone spotted a treadmill—yep, that gym staple—and turned it into a mind-bending 3D printer that spits out giants, like a two-meter girder or even a full-blown kayak.

A temporary tattoo that reads your mind sounds like something ripped from Netflix’s Altered Carbon, but researchers at the University of Texas at Austin have made it real. This isn’t about inking your face for style—it’s a paper-thin, wireless device that sticks to your forehead and tracks your brain’s activity, promising to keep tabs on mental fatigue in high-stakes jobs like piloting or surgery. Dubbed the “e-tattoo,” this invention could redefine how we monitor cognitive strain, and it’s as comfortable as it is clever, despite its looks.
Peng Yujiang, a 55-year-old paraglider with five years of experience, set out to test a second-hand harness in China’s Qilian Mountains. He wasn’t planning to fly—just shake out the gear at 10,000 feet above sea level. But nature had other plans. A freak updraft, known as a “cloud suck,” grabbed him and hurled him skyward, launching an ordeal that would see him soar to 28,208 feet—higher than most commercial flights and just shy of Mount Everest’s 29,029-foot summit. Thanks to a camera strapped to his glider, the world got a front-row seat to his movie-like survival story.
