Caviar returned to its favorite Apple relic and sealed a scrap of Steve Jobs’ black turtleneck inside the company’s first foldable phone. Only nine iPhone Duo Jobs Editions will leave the workshop. Each one costs at least $15,990, close to eight times the $1,999 starting price of a regular 256GB Duo.
Kia rolled out the PV7 this week at IAA Transportation 2026 in Hannover as the second all-electric model in its Platform Beyond Vehicle family, a step up from the smaller PV5 that went on sale last year. This one targets the midsize light-commercial segment that fleets actually live in, with a blunt one-box shape, short overhangs, a visor-like dark band wrapping the windshield, thin daytime running lights that climb the A-pillars, and chunky wheel arches that give the sides more presence than a typical delivery box. Passenger and Cargo versions share the same Long shell for now, with Compact, high-roof, chassis-cab, and conversion bodies promised later as Kia works toward 23 variants.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has released one of its largest public views yet, a near-infrared mosaic of IC 348, a star-forming region 1,000 light-years away in Perseus. Cold molecular hydrogen in that cloud is still collapsing into new stars, and Webb’s NIRCam turned the scene into a wide, crowded field of young suns, leftover dust, and objects so small they sit uncomfortably close to the planet side of the ledger.
Most homes collect dust, crumbs, and pet hair faster than anyone wants to admit. Roborock’s Q7 M5, priced at $149.98 (was $230), is all around vacuum-and-mop combo aimed at that daily drift, pairing 10,000 Pa of HyperForce suction with a detachable mop pad so floors get a pass without you dragging out a stick vac after dinner.
After a botched turbine test on the night of April 26, 1986, operators at Chernobyl’s Unit 4 disabled the remaining safeties and let the bottom of the RBMK core run free. A steam explosion flipped the reactor lid. Fuel, zirconium cladding, steel, graphite, sand, and concrete liquefied, burned through two meters of reinforced floor, and poured through steam vents and cable holes into corridor 217/2. There the flow froze into a wrinkled two-ton lump of black ceramic that crews later nicknamed the Elephant’s Foot.
