Handheld gaming PCs continue to appear in a variety of designs, which is what makes them so exciting…from ultra slim tablets that fit easily into your pocket to bulkier machines designed to keep you on the couch all-day. The 3D One, the latest model from Abxylute, is a unique blend of a tablet-style device similar to a Microsoft Surface Pro but with controllers that can be snapped on and off at will. It runs full Windows games and can display them to in 3D without the need for special glasses.

For five years, NASA’s Perseverance Mars rover has been kicking up red dust around Jezero Crater, cataloging everything from ancient riverbeds to those weird polka-dotted rocks you see everywhere. But during a routine checkup last month, the six-wheeled rover found something that didn’t belong. A single boulder called Phippsaksla poked out of the cracked bedrock like an unwanted guest at a family reunion. This 31-inch wide rock caught the rover’s cameras with its sharp edges and pockmarked surface, implying it came from farther away from those rusty Martian plains than you’d think.

For years, astronomers have recognized NGC 1068 as a prime example of a spiral galaxy with a secret engine at its core. This barred spiral, located in the constellation Cetus, is roughly 50 million light-years away and measures 100,000 light-years across. Its arms curve out from a bright center bar. A supermassive black hole resides in the core, weighing around 4 million solar masses, or twice the mass of our own Milky Way. That black hole isn’t quiet, as it powers an active galactic core that emits radiation in all directions.

Yaku Zeg, aka Jakub Zegzulka, has a feature that could change how we use our iPhones. His idea is the Lock Screen Mirror. It solves a common problem: the time consuming process of checking yourself out with the front camera. That currently involves unlocking the iPhone, launching the camera app, and switching to the front-facing camera, a seemingly excessive number of steps for such a simple task. Zegzulka’s solution is straightforward: a long press on the camera icon on the lock screen displays a mirror-like view from the front camera, allowing you to quickly check your hair, teeth, or overall appearance without having to browse through multiple screens.

Luke Maximo Bell and his father Mike spent months in a makeshift workshop building a drone that would rewrite the rules of airspeed. On June 22, 2025, the Peregreen 3 crossed the 360.4 mph barrier in Dubai’s Al Qudra desert, setting a new Guinness World Record for the fastest battery-powered remote controlled quadcopter. Outpacing the previous year’s milestone of 347 established by a Swiss team, it was a hard-fought victory that required seven crashes and a run of devastating setbacks to secure.

Late last week, Jeep officially revealed the all-new 2026 Recon, an all-electric SUV designed to transport its owner through dirt, bouncing over boulders, and splashing over streams without breaking a sweat. Production begins early next year at their Toluca plant in Mexico, with delivery to buyers in the United States and Canada starting in early 2026.

Amazon is known for sneaking everyday essentials into its lineup that end up exceeding expectations, and their Basics range of over-ear headphones with active noise cancellation is a prime example. Right now you can pick them up for just $24.99, down from $79.99, and you get a seriously impressive 20 hours of entertainment out of them if you turn on the noise cancellation. That jumps to 35 hours if you don’t bother with the cancellation.

Ryan Gosling floats through space as stars flash past like lightning bugs on a hot summer night. This film is an adaptation of Andy Weir’s 2021 novel Project Hail Mary and will be released in US theaters on March 20, 2026. Gosling plays Ryland Grace, a middle school science teacher who is dragged from his classroom and forced to take the riskiest gamble of his life.

DJI has finally released the Osmo Action 6, an action camera designed for everyday adventures. The base kit costs $379 and is available today through DJI’s website and select stores, ready to capture the attention of bikers, divers, and anybody looking for clear footage on the go.
