Electric motorcycles have grown in popularity over the years, offering the quiet operation and rapid power you’d expect. To be honest, most models simply lack the range to keep up with longer trips when compared to fire-breathing gas-powered bikes, but Verge Motorcycles of Finland intends to change that with the release of their new TS Pro. This bike is powered by a solid-state battery that charges at an incredible rate, resulting in some serious game-changing competition.

Samsung strolled into CES 2026 with a TV that immediately grabs your attention, and rightfully so. Their new 130-inch Micro RGB TV, the R95H model, is the single largest display of its kind ever created. The moment you enter the exhibition area, you can’t help but perform a double take as you see the monster of a screen measuring over 10 feet diagonally and filling a whole wall.
LEGO is kicking off 2026 with set 11371, Shopping Street, a 3,456-piece masterpiece of a set that has recently been introduced to the Icons Modular Buildings Collection and is priced at $249.99. This model is currently available for purchase and built on a regular 32×32 baseplate, but it breaks away from the norm by including a fully asymmetrical arrangement that connects seamlessly on both sides.
Bill Whitaker walks into the Hyundai auto plant south of Savannah, Georgia and a familiar face is already on the assembly line. Atlas, the Boston Dynamics humanoid robot, is no longer limited to controlled demos. You watch as this 5’9” 200 pound machine takes on real world manufacturing work for the first time.
DJI’s Osmo Action 4 Standard Combo, priced at $209 (was $299), gives newer models from GoPro and Insta360 a run for their money, which still cost more than $350. The Action 4’s appeal stems from the fact that it features a 1/1.3 inch sensor, which is larger than what the GoPro Hero 13 Black and Hero 12 use, yet the Osmo still manages to pull in more light, making low-light shots much clearer.
It came as a surprise when Punkt, a Swiss company, unveiled the MC03 earlier than usual ahead of CES 2026. The MC03 is a minimalist smartphone that allows you to go about your daily life while maintaining your right to ultimate privacy. It won’t break the bank, as this one costs $699. Don’t get too excited; the MC03 will be available in Europe by late January, but for North America fans, it arrives later this spring.
8BitDo has built a reputation over the years for producing top-notch gaming peripherals, but their latest creation, the FlipPad, looks set to genuinely shake things up in the world of mobile gaming. Although the FlipPad wont be officially unveiled until CES 2026, we’ve managed to sneak a peek at this brand new flip-style gamepad.
A grid of small mirrors stands there, waiting for light to hit them. Then, in perfect harmony, each mirror tilts and swivels around its own axis. Reflected rays move across a neighboring wall or floor. Lines, forms, and full-fledged animations appear to hover in midair when light spots combine to form them. Time Sink Studio created the Living Mirror, which transforms ordinary sunlight or a spotlight into programmed doodling.
Pour-over coffee is the way to go for many people; it’s a clean, flavorful cup that hits the spot in a way that automatic drip coffee can’t. The whole point is that slowly dripping water over fresh grounds brings out nuances and subtleties that an automatic coffee machine will rinse right down the drain. However, standing there waiting for the water to flow with a gooseneck kettle is about the most tedious thing you can imagine.

Deep within Yunlu Wetland Park in Shundes, south China, there’s a building that blends in with the trees and water, making it difficult to see from a distance, despite being right across from an island where thousands of egrets have made their home. Studio Link-Arc completed this museum a year ago, resulting in a space that serves as both a learning center for all things wetland as well as a great place to observe local wildlife.
