The International Space Station (ISS), located high above the Earth, has been used to demonstrate how strange things behave when gravity is no longer pulling them downward. Recently, several astronauts captured a shot inside the Destiny lab module of a group of ball bearings floating around a larger one. They’re floating in a thick liquid that keeps the metal spheres stable, and they respond to very subtle vibrations in a way that can’t be replicated on the ground.

Boston Dynamics Atlas Spot Holidays 2025
Boston Dynamics continues their annual tradition of unique videos that somehow manage to combine cutting-edge robotics with genuine holiday spirit. The business has just released a new clip for 2025 titled “Happy Holidays from Boston Dynamics | 2025,” and it just works. This time, they gathered together their cutting edge humanoid robot, Atlas 2.0, and the quadruped Spot.

MKBHD Journey Inside Apple M5 Chip
Marques Brownlee, or MKBHD, takes us on a mind-bending visual voyage into the world of diminishing scales in his most recent video. Using some very clever animations, he takes us through a step-by-step reduction in his size, demonstrating how incredibly small modern computer parts have become. Every snap of his fingers transports him down another dimension, making everyday objects appear like enormous vistas.

Veritasium Faster than Light Quantum Mechanics
Derek Muller begins his new Veritasium video with a basic question on what happens if the sun suddenly vanishes. That’s the big question because Earth would just keep orbiting for around eight minutes, or the time it takes for light to reach us. Sir Isaac Newton believed that gravity was an immediate force that works over space, but Albert Einstein’s general relativity changed that. He demonstrated that gravitational changes propagate at the speed of light through ripples in space-time. This law keeps the universe in order and prevents all kinds of paradoxical situations from occurring.

Retro gaming handhelds used to be the excitement of the hunt, with people scouring store shelves to discover which new models were available. People nowadays have taken it a step further by designing their own from the ground up, printing cases at home and assembling parts that can be simply obtained online. The Zeroboy XP is one such project that stands out because to its incredibly clean design.

NASA ISS Crew Christmas in Space 2025
On Christmas Day, seven astronauts aboard the ISS were in orbit high above the Earth, racing around the planet no fewer than 16 times at an incredible 17,500 miles per hour, while everyone else was down below opening presents and spending time with family and friends. Commander Mike Fincke led the Expedition 74 crew in creating a touching video message that was sent back down to loved ones, mission control staff, and families all around the world.
