Imagine a battery that never needs charging, one that quietly powers a device for centuries. Thanks to researchers at the University of Bristol and the UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA), this once sci-fi concept is inching closer to reality. At the center of this innovation is carbon-14, a mildly radioactive isotope with a half-life of approximately 5,700 years. That means it decays slowly very slowly offering a virtually uninterrupted power source over millennia.

YouTube has long been a playground for creators who love to experiment, but one inventor is playing with fire, or rather, with intensely focused beams of light. Known online as Styropyro, chemist and laser enthusiast Drake Anthony has taken his passion for DIY science to a new level by creating a 250-watt handheld laser. This device is roughly 50,000 times more powerful than a typical laser pointer. The contraption, showcased in a recent video, is as fascinating as it is legally questionable.

Soft-bodied robots, with their adaptability and gentle touch, promise exciting applications across fields like medicine, exploration, and disaster recovery. But despite their potential, these squishy machines have mostly been confined to lab-scale experiments. Now, a team of Scottish researchers from the University of Edinburgh is aiming to change that.

When Tesla finally launched its Full Self-Driving (FSD) platform in China earlier this year, it wasn’t just a product rollout it was a milestone. For the first time, U.S. and Chinese autonomous vehicle firms were thrust into direct competition on Chinese soil. Moreover, Tesla’s FSD debut in China marked a long-awaited opportunity for Chinese EV manufacturers to test their self-driving tech head-to-head against a global leader.

It was the ultimate expression of air superiority, a sleek, silent, supersonic ghost that ruled the skies with unmatched stealth and speed. The Lockheed Martin F-22 Raptor, with its bird-of-prey namesake, was the crown jewel of American airpower. So why did the U.S. scrap it? In 2009, despite being hailed as the most advanced fighter jet ever built, the U.S. Department of Defense halted production of the F-22 after manufacturing just 186 aircraft, a far cry from the original 750 planned.

Once upon a time, sailing across the Atlantic was a sailor’s badge of honor, so much so that many inked anchor tattoos to commemorate the feat. Today, with jets crisscrossing oceans in hours, that voyage has lost its mythos. Modern crossings mostly belong to cruise ships, cargo vessels, and private yachts. Ocean liners designed for speed and stamina in rough seas are nearly extinct, with the Queen Mary II standing as a lone standard-bearer.
