Sign up to see the future, today Can’t-miss innovations from the bleeding edge of science and tech The pyramids in Egypt have long been a fixation for conspiracy theorists, who like to claim they were constructed by “ancient astronauts” that visited the Earth thousands of years ago to construct the epic monuments. So it shouldn’t come to much surprise that a pyramid-like shape on the surface of Mars is whipping the alien truther community into a frenzy. In a post, self-proclaimed “Mars disclosure journalist” Brian Dobbs showed off what appears to be a fairly symmetrical “three-sided pyramid the size of…

Believe it or not, most customers don’t actually spend time reading their build sheet when ordering a car, or dive into the features available to them when they purchase a new vehicle. In what came as a shock to this car nerd, my fiancé didn’t even know our family car had gesture controls in the infotainment system until she accidentally used them on a road trip. Whether you’re as in tune with your options list as I am or not, your car might have some incredibly useful features that you’re not even aware of, and they very well could be…
Carbon Nanofibers in Dry-Coated Batteries (21.8% Energy Density Gain) is described by Jordan at the Limiting Factor. A new University of Chicago paper (published March 2026) demonstrates a simple but powerful tweak to dry-electrode cathode design that delivers a 21.8% increase in usable energy density while maintaining excellent cycle life. The breakthrough relies entirely on Tesla’s dry electrode coating process (the only commercial-scale dry-coating technology currently available) combined with vapor-grown carbon nanofibers (VGCF) or similar string-like carbon materials replacing traditional carbon-black particles.
