We’ve come across video after video of humanoid robots performing backflips, delivering punches — and even a clip of a robot kicking the CEO of its maker squarely in the chest. Don’t get us wrong, the aerobatics on display are impressive — but it’s not hugely practical, since it’s not like we’re being swarmed by waves of armed bad guys on a daily basis. Fortunately, not every robotics maker is doubling down on martial arts. Case in point, California-based company Figure recently introduced the second iteration of its humanoid robot AI software, called Helix 02. In a video released this…

For a while now, we’ve known that streaming was becoming the dominant way people watch TV; in 2025, streaming accounted for almost 45% of streaming, more than broadcast and cable viewership combined, according to Nielsen.

While NASA is working with U.S. aviation to explore commercial supersonic technologies, the agency is also looking forward to an even faster era of flight – one of vehicles that can fly hypersonic, or five times the speed of sound. And to further that vision, NASA has issued two awards for studies into vehicle concepts. Some types of vehicles – such as rockets – achieve hypersonic speeds by carrying supplies of oxygen to allow their fuel to burn, instead of using the surrounding air. In contrast, NASA’s Hypersonic Technology Project works to advance “airbreathing,” reusable hypersonic aircraft, which take in air as they fly, allowing for much longer sustained cruising at hypersonic speeds. …
Up in my loft, I have an Atari 2600 games console, which launched all the way back in 1977. Occasionally, I’ll bring it down and put on a few games. It’s always fun to make the kids play ET (launched in December 1982), struggling to comprehend how this could be considered a game (to be fair, that was the opinion at the time).
