Gaze upward on a clear night, and the stars feel eternal, a quiet backdrop to our fleeting lives. Now, consider a snapshot of the cosmos so deep it captures light that’s been traveling since the universe was a toddler. The James Webb Space Telescope has delivered just that—a mesmerizing image of galaxy cluster Abell S1063, a celestial heavyweight 4.5 billion light-years away in the constellation Grus.
Hermeus’ latest test flight marks a giant leap towards hypersonic travel. On May 21, 2025, their Quarterhorse Mk 1, a shiny uncrewed aircraft, took flight over Edwards Air Force Base, signaling their bold push toward technologies that could slash a New York-to-London trip to just 90 minutes.
Chris Hemsworth’s YouTube video, “Thank You! The Legacy of Thor,” has whipped Marvel fans into a speculative storm, wondering if the God of Thunder’s eyeing the exit or just reminiscing on his 15-year MCU run. The two-minute tribute, packed with clips from his four Thor films, four Avengers gigs, and behind-the-scenes warmth, lands just as Avengers: Doomsday (hitting December 18, 2026) ramps up, fueling talk of a farewell. Its heartfelt vibe and curious timing have social media talking with takes like “Thor’s definitely dying” or “This smells like a goodbye,” even as Hemsworth teases “Next up, Doomsday!”
Samsung’s Galaxy S25 Edge has landed, rocking a razor-thin 5.8mm frame that makes it the slimmest phone in the company’s arsenal. At just 163 grams, with a titanium-boosted chassis and Corning Gorilla Glass Ceramic 2, it’s a masterclass in premium build. But can this sleek stunner survive the torture chamber of JerryRigEverything’s durability gauntlet? YouTube’s Zack Nelson, the maestro of stress tests, puts the S25 Edge through his brutal paces to see if its svelte design can take a beating.

Staring at the sun’s always been a risky game—its dazzling glare hides a million-degree chaos zone called the corona, only peeking out during rare total eclipses. For ages, scientists have wrestled with Earth’s pesky atmosphere to glimpse this fiery crown in detail. Now, a crew from the U.S. National Science Foundation’s National Solar Observatory (NSO) and the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT) has nailed it, dropping the clearest images and videos ever of the sun’s corona, showcasing its wild beauty in jaw-dropping detail.
Electric vehicles are everywhere, zipping through city streets with quiet confidence, but charging them remains a puzzle. Home chargers work for those with garages, and fast-charging stations dot highways, but what about city dwellers parked on busy streets? Rheinmetall, a German company known more for tanks than tech, has a clever answer: a charger built right into the curb. After a year-long pilot in Cologne, Germany, this unassuming innovation is ready to reshape how we power EVs in urban jungles.

Skateboarding icon Tony Hawk, who’s been flipping gravity the bird since the ‘80s, is now shredding the audio scene with a killer collab. Skullcandy, the brand that’s all about raw, street-ready sound, has joined forces with Bose to drop the METHOD 360 ANC earbuds, and Hawk’s hyping them as the real deal, calling them “legit – affordably killer sound.”
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.
