Arcade floors once filled with the clatter of joysticks as players guided a barbarian, a sorceress, and a dwarf across fantasy landscapes filled with beasts and bandits. SEGA’s 1989 side-scrolling fighter Golden Axe delivered pure power fantasy in short, intense bursts. Now those same characters are returning in a full animated series that puts their personalities under closer scrutiny while keeping the monster-smashing spirit intact.
A retired military hauler once tasked with moving troops and supplies now carries a double bed, a Miele oven, and a bathroom most studio apartments would envy. Sitting on Cars & Bids right now is this ACELA MONTERRA GL 4×4 finished by Krug Expedition, a fully sorted expedition truck whose current asking range still sits below many 2026 Porsche 911 configurations while the auction runs.
Bambu Lab packed its most approachable machine into a footprint that fits on a crowded workbench and still delivers results that used to require far more patience and money. The A1 Mini, priced at $224.10 (was $249), reaches first-time owners fully assembled, already squared, and loaded with automatic routines that handle the tedious setup steps older printers forced users to master by hand. Unbox it, remove a few shipping ties, plug in power and Wi-Fi, and the machine begins calibrating itself. Bed leveling, vibration compensation, nozzle pressure checks, and Z-offset all happen without paper tests or manual adjustments. Most people reach a successful first print inside twenty minutes.
Genesis just showed the world its first full-size electric SUV, the GV90, and the doors alone are enough to stop traffic. On the range-topping Neolun version, the rear doors open backward while the fronts swing forward. A dual-motion hinge lets the rear doors slide out a short distance first, then swing wide. When both pairs stand open, the B-pillar vanishes from view. Genesis calls the arrangement the Neolun Arch Gate and claims it is the first coach-door system that can open and close each door on its own. The result is a single, unbroken opening that feels closer to stepping into a private lounge than climbing into a conventional three-row SUV.
Researchers at MIT have taken a common plant surface microbe and turned colonies of it into working switches. Those switches link up through chemical messages so the whole arrangement can carry out basic math and route information the way a simple circuit does. The work, published in Nature Chemical Biology, rests on just five engineered strains of Pantoea agglomerans. Two act as the transistors. Three serve as relays that pass the signal along. Arrange the same five pieces in different patterns on a slab of agar and the circuit does something new.
