The Creative Channel showed us the jet bicycle they built, which is just a regular bike with a very unique makeover. Instead of a plain old electric motor, four high-speed ducted fans, sometimes known as EDF units among model enthusiasts, conduct the pushing. They are going at a blazing 75,000 RPM, which is quite fast to say the least.
Figure AI has just released Helix 02, a revolutionary neural network that enables a humanoid robot to move from its head to its toes. With a single AI system in command, Helix 02 handles everything from going into a room to precisely grabbing objects, as well as maintaining balance while juggling difficult tasks, all based on what the robot sees through its cameras, feels through its touch sensors, and understands about its joints.
Bando do Gato has just published three mind-blowing movies that give Donkey Kong Country, the 1994 Super Nintendo classic, a huge facelift while retaining every ounce of its spirit. These side-by-side comparisons show the original pixel graphics alongside these amazing AI-enhanced renderings of the same scenes, and it’s a mix of nostalgia and astonishment.
When it comes to noise-cancelling earbuds in 2026, Apple’s AirPods Pro 3 stand out, especially at $199 (previously $249). What truly makes them special is their noise cancellation, as Apple was able to more than quadruple the efficacy of the AirPods Pro 2, blocking out significantly more of the undesirable sound that comes from low rumbles of engines and higher-pitched distractions like people conversing or that awful office hum.
No, this isn’t the rumored Cybervan, but rather the Russo-Balt F200, a full-size electric van built from unpainted stainless steel with a sharp, angular form clearly influenced by the Cybertruck. We’ve all been waiting for a Tesla van for years, but until now, there has been nothing. Now, a Russian entrepreneur has stepped in to create a near-miss that should fill the void.
Keeping up with the endless stream of research papers just got a little easier thanks to Prism, OpenAI’s new tool that changes the game for scientists. This free workspace integrates writing, editing, collaboration, and even literature searches into a single, cloud-based location. No more juggling several programs for LaTeX editing and other tasks; everything now lives together, powered by OpenAI’s latest innovation, GPT-5.2, which has significantly improved its math and scientific reasoning compared to previous releases.
Walt Disney Imagineering recently highlighted one of their most game-changing innovations: trackless ride systems. “Imagineer That!” delves further into Mickey & Minnie’s Runaway Railway, explaining how these vehicles move from zero to spin and groove with no visible tracks. The ride is incredibly effortless, despite the fact that below it is like a well tuned orchestra of perfection and unlimited potential waiting to be composed.
A team of researchers at Fudan University in Shanghai has developed a smart computer chip that has been inserted directly into a single fiber smaller than a human hair. These fiber integrated circuits (FICs) have managed to pack a lot of processing power into something as flexible and delicate as this, making them ideal for weaving into garments or even implanting into the body.
Firefighters race into blazing buildings, tunnels, and industrial sites, where they are all too familiar with the deadly heat, choking smoke, and hidden dangers that lurk around every corner, ready to strike. On top of the usual challenges, conventional drones simply can’t handle the extreme conditions of a fire, as they tend to fail or overheat almost immediately A team from Switzerland’s Empa research labs had a different idea…FireDrone.
