This artist used AI to show what Paris would look like as a giant water park ahead of the 2024 Olympics. We can see a giant water slide in front of the Eiffel Tower and then a massive pool party of sorts near the famed Basilique du Sacré-Cœur de Montmartre.
NASA’s Curiosity Mars rover drove over a rock in the Gediz Vallis channel on May 30 and discovered yellow sulfur crystals inside. This odorless elemental sulfur only forms in a narrow range of conditions that scientists haven’t associated with the history of this location.
Thermonator can set things on fire, while VERO is a vacuum-equipped robot dog designed to clean up beaches, factories, and more. The current quadruped robot prototype is capable of collecting cigarette butts autonomously, the second most common undisposed waste worldwide, across terrains that are hard to reach for wheeled and tracked robots.
The 14.2″ MacBook Pro with the M3 Pro chip is the perfect travel companion, and you can get one today for $1,699 shipped, originally $1,999. This processor is built on the industry-leading 3-nanometer technology, while the GPU also brings new rendering features to Apple silicon, including hardware-accelerated mesh shading for greater capability.

Microsoft Designer is now available on iOS and Android platforms, enabling users to bring their most creative ideas to life in seconds with the help of generative AI. These tools can also be found in Microsoft Photos, enabling you to erase objects, remove backgrounds, auto crop, make adjustments, apply filters, markup, or even add text without leaving your flow.
The Lamborghini Temerario is expected to make its official debut during Monterey Car Week, but several car spotters have caught glimpses of various prototypes driving on public roads, including this one. It’s rumored to be powered by a twin-turbocharged V8 engine, paired with three electric motors, that generate a combined 887+ hp.
NASA’s Apollo 11 Lunar Module Eagle touched down on July 20, 1969 and commander Neil Armstrong became the first person to step onto the Moon’s surface 6 hours and 39 minutes later. The astronauts actually separated the spacecraft from the Saturn V’s third stage and traveled for three days before entering lunar orbit.
Disney researchers designed and built a bipedal robot that can traverse unstructured terrain, like the many ramps and steps found in theme parks. This project aims to unify expressive, artist-directed motions and robust dynamic mobility for legged robots.
It’s no submersible PC, but Hydrus, an autonomous underwater drone, combines a 4K camera, dynamic lighting and AI image processing to deliver high quality georeferenced footage. Fast movements can be captured using its 60fps recording mode, thus enhancing machine vision capability and allowing for AI classification as well as analysis to be performed directly onboard the drone.
