Losing access to a Google account can feel like the digital equivalent of locking yourself out of the house with the keys still inside. Emails, photos, documents, and calendars suddenly sit just out of reach. Google has spent years adding recovery options for exactly these moments, and today it rolled out another one that relies on a short video of your face.
Solarky Mobility Technologies has put a small four-seat electric car on the road that can gather useful driving distance simply by sitting outside. The SunV measures just 3,150 mm long and 1,491 mm wide, with a wheelbase of 2,070 mm and 190 mm of ground clearance. Its empty weight sits around 660 kg thanks to an aluminum chassis and plastic body panels. That light construction lets a modest 15 kW rear motor and 85 Nm of torque push the car to 80 km/h while returning a claimed 151 km on a full charge of its 10.2 kWh LFP battery pack under the NEDC cycle.
Airlines from Bahrain and Japan just threw their weight behind a plane that looks nothing like the ones filling today’s skies. At the Farnborough Air Show this week, Gulf Air signed a letter of intent for an undisclosed number of JetZero Z4 aircraft, locking in preferential delivery slots for the early 2030s. Japan Airlines followed with a formal support agreement that puts its operational teams inside the design process from the start.
Sixteen million light-years away, in the constellation Canes Venatici, sits a spiral galaxy that refuses to look ordinary. NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory recently delivered a composite view of Messier 94, also catalogued as NGC 4736, that layers high-energy X-rays over a ground-based optical photograph. The result shows a bright central region wrapped in a tight ring of intense star formation, with the whole structure set against a softer outer disk that stretches farther than early observers realized.
Samsung now sells two book-style foldables side by side. The regular Galaxy Z Fold8 starts at $1,899.99. The Z Fold8 Ultra opens at $2,099.99 for the 256GB model and climbs to $2,699.99 for 1TB. That $200 jump lands the Ultra in rare air for a phone that still has to fold in half. The question is simple: does the extra money buy enough to matter?
