Companies have spent years showing off car tires that never go flat. Michelin and others roll out concept designs built from polymer webs that support the load without a single molecule of air. Those prototypes look sharp in tech demos, but almost never reach actual cars. Mountain bikes face a harder version of the same problem. A sharp rock or thorn can end a ride in seconds. Sealant inside modern tubeless tires already stops most punctures, yet the dream of a tire that simply cannot lose pressure still pulls people in. Berm Peak, the popular mountain-bike YouTuber known for building and testing unusual gear, decided the only way to get a real airless mountain-bike tire was to make one himself.

Crews in Jeddah have pushed the Jeddah Tower, previously known as the JEC Tower, past another hard-won mark. The structure now stands 430 meters high with 107 floors finished, a clear signal that the long-stalled project has regained serious momentum. Roughly 570 meters of concrete and steel still need to rise before the tower reaches its planned height of more than one kilometer. When that day arrives, it will become the first building on Earth to cross that threshold and will take the title of world’s tallest from Dubai’s Burj Khalifa.

After drifting aimlessly for more than a year and a half, a discarded SpaceX Falcon 9 upper stage finally ran out of empty space on Wednesday. The four-ton cylinder, roughly the size of a school bus and more than 40 feet long, slammed into the Moon at 5,400 miles per hour near Einstein Crater on the sunlit western limb.

Allen Millyard’s one-of-a-kind masterpiece, a bright red motorcycle powered by a full eight-liter Dodge Viper V10, sold at H&H Classics on July 22 for a final price of £149,500. When fees and premiums are included in, the total comes to almost $201,500. The hammer dropped for £130,000, or around $175,000, right in the middle of the pre-sale estimate.

Samsung took a hard look at how people actually use big foldable screens and decided the tall, narrow shape everyone had gotten used to was not the full story. The Galaxy Z Fold8, priced at $1,900 with $350 Amazon GC, arrives with a shorter, wider body that feels closer to a passport than a phone book, and that single change unlocks a far better experience for videos, games, and everything in between.
