Bigme built the HiBreak Dual 2 around a simple mechanical solution to a familiar problem. Regular smartphones deliver color, speed, and apps but wear out eyes during long reading sessions. Dedicated e-readers protect vision and sip power yet lack cameras, video, and quick multitasking. This device carries both screen types in one slab so owners turn it over instead of juggling separate gadgets.
Boston Dynamics has released a new video from its offices that shows three humanoid robots executing a Viking Row in rhythm. The video shows the robots in a wide open workplace with plenty of natural light coming in through the tall windows and many Boston Dynamics employees scattered about, joining in on the row from the floor and other nearby spots.
Curiosity had been working its way down the Gediz Vallis channel on the flank of Mount Sharp for months. The rover’s wheels left fresh tracks in the loose soil and scattered stones as it hunted for clues about the planet’s ancient past. On May 30, 2024, during the 4,200th Martian day of the mission, one of those wheels rolled over a rock that looked no different from thousands of others nearby. The one-ton machine pressed down, and the stone gave way with a quiet crack that no one on Earth witnessed in real time.
China pulled off a clean recovery of a rocket booster during an actual trip to orbit on July 10, and it did so with a system no other country has tried before. The Long March 10B lifted off from the Hainan commercial space launch site carrying a satellite. Roughly six minutes after the upper stage separated and continued upward, the first-stage booster flipped around, fired its engines to slow down, and settled onto a floating platform anchored offshore.
Certification came through in spring 2026 for something pilots of small planes have wanted for decades. Shark Aero’s Shark 600 now carries the first active turbulence-cancelling system approved for a light aircraft. The optional setup cuts the jarring effects of rough air by more than 80 percent, according to the developers. A 600-kilogram-class machine suddenly behaves as if it carries the mass and stability of something far heavier.
Builders who follow space sets have another strong option arriving soon from the LEGO Icons line. Set 11382 comprises a detailed model of the Hubble Space Telescope, which rewards meticulous building and makes an excellent display piece once completed. This 1,252-piece kit is intended for adults and costs $139.99. It will be released on August 1st, with the finished model measuring over 12.5 inches tall, 15 inches long, and 15 inches wide with the aperture door open.
Storage prices keep rising, and portable options often force awkward choices between size, speed, and practical daily use. Verbatim built the 1TB Pocket SSD, priced at $179.99 (was $299.99), to sidestep those compromises with a design centered on actual carry habits rather than spec-sheet bragging rights.
Pocket-sized digital assistants once defined a certain era of personal tech. People carried compact devices that handled notes, calendars, and quick writing without the endless stream of notifications that define phones today. PocketMage aims to bring that focused experience back in a fresh clamshell package built around e-ink and a physical keyboard.
Details that surfaced today from Chinese regulatory filings and posts by longtime leaker Ice Universe point to a meaningful jump in battery capacity for the upcoming iPhone 18 Pro Max. The device could ship with a 5,567mAh cell in its U.S. version. That figure sits nearly 500mAh above the capacity of the iPhone 17 Pro Max and marks one of the largest single-year gains Apple has targeted in recent memory.
Sony ended nearly a decade of silence on its RX10 series this week by introducing the fifth-generation model. The RX10 V keeps the format that made the camera line popular among travelers, wildlife watchers, and sports shooters while adding meaningful upgrades where they count most.
