Tamura Lumitime Clock Turns 1970s Mains Power Into Glowing Seven Segment Numbers With Gears and Contacts Alone

Japanese company Tamura Electric sold the Lumitime as a stylish desk or wall clock throughout the mid to late 1970s, giving buyers the futuristic look of digital numerals when affordable LED and LCD panels were still dim, tiny, or simply not ready for living rooms. Mark Furneaux opened one of these machines and found no […]

Moto G Stylus (2025) Turns a Budget Flagship Phone Into a Daily Note Taker You Can Live With

Motorola still sells the only widely available Android phone in this price range that keeps a real pen tucked in the frame, and the Moto G Stylus (2025), priced at $279.99 (was $400), uses that old idea as the excuse for a much sharper everyday phone. You get a 6.7-inch pOLED panel, IP68 sealing, 68W […]

Last Cheater Standing Turns CrunchLabs Into Mark Rober’s Casino Where Engineers Build Devices to Beat the House

Former NASA engineer Mark Rober filled his CrunchLabs warehouse with blackjack, poker, craps, and a roulette wheel, then invited a room of makers and YouTube builders to play for $10,000 destined for charity. Cheating was allowed. Getting caught was not. If a device showed up on camera or in a pit boss’s hand, it left […]

Dusklight Patch 2.0.0 Turns Zelda Twilight Princess Into a Native Port You Can Mod and Randomize

TwilitRealm shipped Dusklight 2.0.0 earlier this week, and the build is the first time this unofficial Twilight Princess port feels finished as a platform rather than a careful reconstruction. Dusklight is a reverse-engineered reimplementation of the 2006 GameCube and Wii adventure, grown out of the zeldaret/tp decompilation and the Aurora framework. You still supply your […]

Fingers as Legs, ETH Zurich Turns a Store Bought WUJI Hand Into a Walking Addams Family Extra

Amirhossein Kazemipour, Hehui Zheng, and Robert Katzschmann of ETH Zurich’s Soft Robotics Lab began with a commercial WUJI right hand with five fingers designed for grabbing. They put a Raspberry Pi, an IMU, and a battery to its back, resulting in a package weighing 818 grams and operating without a cable. Twenty powered joints remained […]

Street Fighter’s Wearable Guile Hair Popcorn Bucket Turns AMC Concessions Into a Flat Top You Can Snack From

Cody Rhodes posted the Street Fighter clip yesterday and immediately made the whole thing look inevitable. He wears a tall blond plastic flattop on his head, the exact silhouette Guile has carried since the early Street Fighter games, and talks about it the way old luxury car ads used to talk about leather and wind […]

General Atomics’ Mojave STOL Turns a Korean Tank Trail Into a Runway

North of Seoul on September 16, a 29-foot uncrewed aircraft left a conventional Army runway, joined air operations over a live-fire range, then settled onto a rough maneuver trail normally reserved for tanks and artillery. Ground-station pilots sent it rolling again. It lifted off in less than 200 meters, resumed the sortie, and flew back […]

Japanese Airports Get Pocket Tips, a Compression Machine That Turns Airport Clothes Into Palm-Sized Cubes

Photo credit: SoraNews24Pocket Tips looks like an ATM and works like a one-minute clothes press. SJOY, a Tokyo apparel startup founded in 2019, built the machine so travelers fold garments into a mold, set them inside, press a button, and take back a compact cube as small as one seventh the original bulk. A thin […]

Future Motion Turns a Onewheel XR Classic Into a Self-Balancing Track Cart

Future Motion’s Santa Cruz shop looks out on the Pacific. About thirty feet from the door sits a stretch of abandoned railroad Kyle Doerksen had been staring at for years. In September 2026 he pulled a bone-stock XR Classic off the shelf and decided that line was going to carry a Onewheel. The plan was […]

SPIFFI Turns Every Microscope Frame Into a Super-Resolution Movie of Living Cells

Living cells refuse to pose. Mitochondria pinch apart and fuse back together in seconds. Microtubules slide, overlap, and rearrange. Ordinary light microscopes smear those events once details fall below roughly 200 nanometers, the natural limit set by how light waves spread. Older super-resolution methods beat that blur by stacking hundreds or thousands of frames and […]
