A 1999 Nissan Skyline GT-R (R34) V-Spec, in the form of an extremely rare Tommykaira R-Z edition, is about to hit the auction block in Japan. This particular example has only 20,191 kilometers on the odometer, with a mere 2,000 of those added over the previous 15 years due to some extremely light use by its long-time owner.
The expression “lightning in a bottle” has long been linked with poets and visionaries. Yet, one creator has really gotten it off, using a particle accelerator and a clear two-inch acrylic cylinder to generate the image of lightning: branching electric patterns frozen in a tube, glowing with captured energy.
The DJI Osmo 360, priced at $356.29 (was $549.99) is currently the gold standard among 360-degree cameras. The device was released this summer, and its results outperform rivals such as the Insta360 X5 and GoPro Max 2 in a variety of critical areas. For starters, its dual square sensors provide true 1-inch 360-degree imaging, a first in the category.

All these years after NVIDIA originally debuted the RTX 3080 Ti in 2021, a few prototype samples of unreleased variants have begun to appear in used listings online. These are essentially engineering samples, or pre-production hardware, that were created to test designs before deciding what to mass produce. One of them has piqued people’s interest because it features 20GB of GDDR6X RAM instead of the usual 12GB.
This new image of Arp 4 captured by NASA/ESA’s Hubble Space Telescope appears to have been created for a screen, doesn’t it? The way the galaxies align provides a flawless optical illusion that tricks the eye into sensing intimacy where none exists. It sits in the constellation Cetus, also known as the Whale, a peaceful region of sky far from the crowded Milky Way.
Christopher Nolan is diving into new territory with an adaptation of The Odyssey, bringing Odysseus’ ten-year struggle to get home after the Trojan War to the big screen. Matt Damon stars as a man torn between duty to his men and a strong desire to return to his family. The drama’s grandeur is set against a backdrop of immense oceans and unknown coastlines, with any decision made by Odysseus making the difference between life or death.
Matthew Lim, a designer with an eye for the strange, has spent a lot of time figuring out how to incorporate the traditional art of origami into the world of 3D printed objects. His most recent video showcases a variety of printed pieces that fold elegantly, retain their shapes, and appear to be full of mechanical possibilities.
Unitree’s decision to build a separate app store for its G1 humanoid robot is a significant development in the field of robotics. For G1 owners who already own one of these compact robots, which stand at a modest 4 feet 3 inches tall and weighs a reasonable 80 pounds, movement routines can now be downloaded directly to smartphones via a mobile app.
On a clear, sunny, yet slightly cloudy afternoon in Hollister, California, Wisk Aero’s latest aircraft took off for the first time. The date was December 16th, 2025, and the moment of truth finally arrived at 12:26 pm local time. Engineers and test pilots gazed in astonishment as the Generation 6 eVTOL rose vertically, hovered steadily as desired, and performed a few basic maneuvers before landing again. The flight barely lasted slightly more than 30 seconds, but the sensation of relief and years of hard effort was almost palpable.
