Patients within MRI scanners have a difficult time to begin with. You have the continuous thump of the machine while they lie still for what seems like an eternity. Headphones are supposed to help pass the time and block out some of the noise, but standard issue designs just don’t cut it. The common restriction is no magnets or cables near the equipment, so technicians simply pipe the audio through plastic tubes, resulting in a faint and muffled sound.
Aviation enthusiasts now have direct access to the planes that once transformed the way people traveled across oceans and countries. The LEGO company has just launched its new Icons entry, the Douglas DC-3 Pan Am Airliner (set 11378), and every detail transports builders back to the 1930s, when air travel still held a certain mystique.
Astronomers have combined some incredible data from the Hubble and Webb telescopes to get a clear picture of the center of Messier 101, the Pinwheel Galaxy. They’ve managed to create a single, extremely sharp image of the galaxy’s core section, which explains why this place is known as the Pinwheel Galaxy. Right in the center, there’s a bright yellow bulge, which is completely surrounded by those meandering streams of dust and gas that are lit up in some very vibrant colors – hues of orange and brown, with scattered pink and blue patches throughout.
Minecraft fans can now plan their next 2027 family outing with confidence, as a brand-new section is set to open at Chessington World of Adventures Resort in Greater London. Next year, they’ll be able to celebrate the New Year in style when the new section, simply called Minecraft World, debuts, marking the first time the game has completely invested in a big theme park.
Prop Department begins with a 1988 Ford Festiva, a small vehicle with a single wheelbase that screams to be laughed at. He took a bold step in and decided to take that already tiny base and shrink it even more, all while maintaining the idea that this thing had to be road-worthy, and manage to squeeze through tight spaces that a normal car would never even come close to making it through.
Drive along a rough coastal road, and the StabiX 250UC camper just continues rolling, right to the water’s edge. Instead than stopping or scrambling to load supplies into a second boat, the driver simply keeps going, tires gripping the wet beach and driving straight into the waves. The movable legs perform their job and lift those wheels clear, then the main outboard takes over and you’re gliding along.
This drone, priced at $149 after clipping the on-page $50 off coupon (was $249), weighs only 135 grams and fits neatly into almost any backpack or pocket, making it light enough to carry without drawing attention. The DJI Neo’s frame is around five inches across and manages to fit all of the necessary components for smooth flights and sharp 4K filming with minimum (or none at all) trouble.
Summers in Florida are terrible, forcing people to get creative in order to stay cool without breaking the bank or overloading the electricity grid. Hyperspace Pirate took on the problem and came up with a clever mechanism that absorbs solar energy throughout the day and stores it as ice for use when cooling is required, bingo.
