Google Nano Banana Pro Gemini 3
Google just launched Nano Banana Pro this morning, and its unique approach to image production is already making waves. Consider it a more robust, user-friendly version of its image editing / generation tools, the kind that achieves as close to ‘human-like’ perfection as possible without actually being alive. This new function has been stealthily introduced into Google’s Gemini app and a few other major areas in Google’s portfolio, but it is the type of development that will take many off guard.

James Webb Space Telescope Wolf-Rayet Star Dust Shell APEP
Astronomers have long been searching for the faint lights of dying stars, those huge, short-lived fireballs that blaze brightly before fading away into the galaxy’s dark corners. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has now given us a look inside one such system, Apep, a trio of stars 8,000 light years away in a long, agonizing waltz. This mid-infrared image is raw and unprocessed, showing four shells of carbon dust spiraling outward in a tangled mess like an unraveled rope.

3D-Printed Mini Bowling Lane
Danny Lum spent more than a year attempting to make a completely insane idea into reality. He had an idea for a mini bowling lane that he could simply set up on his kitchen table, with just as many features as the real thing, including pins that arranged themselves after each roll. What began as a peaceful little side project during those long evenings at home quickly grew into something far larger than he had anticipated.

2026 Porsche Cayenne Electric
Porsche revealed the 2026 Cayenne Electric lineup this week, bringing their typical blend of speed and utility to the world of battery-powered automobiles. There are currently two options: the base Cayenne Electric and the Cayenne Turbo Electric. Both share an Audi-sourced electric platform, but Porsche engineers have expanded the wheelbase out by five inches to accommodate the wider frame, resulting in extra internal space, particularly for passengers in the backseat. Expect delivery of this new model in the United States to begin in late summer 2026.

SnackSync PC Pasta Cooking Computer
Engineer James Bruton likes to create everyday machines that would only exist in an alternate reality. His latest creation, the SnackSync PC, takes a standard gaming computer and turns it into a pasta cooker. It watches your game for those inevitable pauses, like when a level loads or a match ends, and gets dinner started in the background. By the time you catch your breath, a pot of steaming carbonara is ready, complete with a spork to dig in.

Abxylute 3D One Handheld PC
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.

NASA Perseverance Mars Rover Rock Meteorite Jezero Crater
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.
