KUKA turned one of their robotic arms into a horse riding simulator of sorts. Well, it’s actually called the Hirob, or a rehabilitation robot developed by Intelligent Motion. This company focuses on robotic therapy solutions, and used a KUKA robotic arm to simulate horse movements for hippotherapy.
NASA’s sonification of black holes turns space data into sounds to show different parts of black holes and their surroundings. This uses info from telescopes like NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), and others to make three cosmic soundscapes.
Water droplets are being used in neat ways for chemical reactions, especially in microfluidics and droplet chemistry. They work like microreactors, as droplets can sit in a liquid they don’t blend with or be guided on surfaces with techniques like electrowetting. In the videos you’ll see, a scientist adds small bits of chemicals to a water droplet, letting them blend together inside.
The Samsung Galaxy S25 has taken over The View in Brussels as part of a promotional event tied to the Galaxy S25 series launch. From May 3 to May 18, 2025, the company is sponsoring free rides on this attraction at Place Poelaert, Brussels, which normally costs €10 per ride.
An E-Ink smartphone like the Mudita Kompakt may not be for everyone, and the same can be said for Evertop, a portable, open-source project that emulates an IBM PC XT with an 80186 processor and 1MB RAM, capable of running 1980s operating systems like DOS, Minix, and even Windows up to version 3.0.
Your eyes aren’t playing tricks, the McMurtry Speirling, an electric hypercar, made headlines by driving upside down at its Gloucestershire headquarters. This trick worked because of its special fan system that pushes air down, making over 4,400 pounds of suction—more than twice what the car weighs—so it can cling to surfaces even when it’s not moving.
People recently noticed a strange triangle-shaped tower on Google Maps near Area 51, a super-secret military base in Nevada, about a 90-minute drive from Las Vegas. Because it looks odd and is in such a hidden, mysterious place, folks are curious about what this building could be.

No, this isn’t a real wormhole that can transport you to another galaxy located millions of light-years away, just a fascinating science experiment conducted by researchers from the University of Alaska Fairbanks.
Former Mythbusters host Adam Savage goes hands-on with a screen-used Mr. Fusion DeLorean time machine prop. This fictional power source was introduced at the end of Back to the Future and prominently featured in Part II and Part III, designed to convert household waste into the 1.21 gigawatts needed to power the DeLorean’s time circuits.
Sure, Facebook AI can emulate your handwriting, but nothing can beat the real thing, that is unless, you’re spending a fortune on the Hancept Zero MK2. Touted as “the world’s only card-sized pen that transforms,” this foldable pen is just 2mm thick when flat—about the thickness of two stacked credit cards—making it slim enough to slip into a wallet.
