Workers make their way slowly through a 58,000 square-foot facility in Hayward, California, where 1X builds its NEO humanoid robots. A new factory tour takes you through each stage of the process, from beginning to end. Over two hundred people keep the operation running, and the setup already turns out thousands of key parts each month.
Modders shrank a normal Wii motherboard to a fraction of its original size while retaining all functionality, allowing you to play games exactly like the original. Tito from Macho Nacho Productions just posted a detailed look at the Nintendo Kawaii project.
NASA’s Curiosity rover captured some incredible 360-degree images from the foothills of Mount Sharp deep inside Gale Crater. It was all stitched together from 1,031 separate photos taken between November 9th and December 7th, 2025. What a sight that is, as the dirt out there forms low ridges resembling massive spiderwebs. Water used to seep through fractures in the bedrock, leaving minerals that are significantly more resistant to erosion than the surrounding rocks.
Summer heat hits us like a ton of bricks, and before you know it, everyone is looking for something cold to drink. The Ninja SLUSHi, priced at $259 (was $350), fulfills that call by transforming liquids into the perfect frozen delight in the comfort of your own home without the mess.
In 1891, Gabriel Lippmann made a breakthrough in color recording. Instead of relying on added chemicals or substances, he took advantage of light waves’ intrinsic behavior. It’s no wonder that this revolutionary achievement earned him the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1908. For years, scientists had been attempting to understand natural color photography, with typical methods including either tedious hand coloring or layering filters on images. Lippmann, on the other hand, was not having it, and came up with the brilliant concept of using interference to capture colors exactly as they were in the picture.
Greenhill Forge runs a rural workshop focused on hands-on projects for smallholding life. Years spent building an axial flux permanent magnet generator gave him the perfect foundation for a new challenge. Cold water needed reliable heating off the grid, and fuel or grid power carried too many hassles. He turned those existing rotors into the heart of a device that creates heat through nothing more than motion and magnetic fields.
Gamers everywhere just gained a cleaner path to play on their Windows 11 machines. Microsoft started pushing out Xbox Mode on April 30 in select markets, with the update spreading to more users over the coming weeks. This full-screen interface draws straight from the console playbook yet runs on everything from laptops and desktops to tablets and handhelds. Players flip into it when they want games front and center and slip back to the regular desktop whenever they need to check email or open another app.
Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory gathered around a special 26-foot vacuum chamber in February of last year to witness a prototype engine fire five times in a row. The temperature within that device skyrocketed, exceeding 5,000 degrees Fahrenheit, with a center tungsten electrode burning a brilliant white and an outer nozzle spewing out an astounding crimson stream of lithium plasma into the void of space.
Hikers and tourists frequently find themselves cut off from friends and family as soon as they venture into the great outdoors, but Meshtastic puts this isolation into perspective with a dead simple system that allows radios to simply talk to one another.

Racing fans hold fond memories of one particular Porsche from decades ago. In the 1980 season a customer 935 K3 from Dick Barbour Racing hit the circuits wrapped in bright rainbow colors and the Apple Computer logo. That machine competed at major events including the 24 Hours of Le Mans and left a lasting impression wherever it appeared.
