The next humanoid robot might not have a head. It might not have legs. It might even sit on a wheeled base and fold down like a deck chair. But, as Genesis AI puts it, "humanoid robots don't need to look human." That explains the look of Eno, the new robot from the French startup backed by former Google CEO Eric Schmidt. Genesis says Eno is designed "around human capability" rather than human appearance and is intended as a fully "general-purpose" robot rather than a machine built around a single task, like folding laundry. One part is still very human though: its hands, which the company says are designed to "exactly match the form and fu …

As simple of a concept flow batteries are, the used chemicals can still be somewhat problematic in the context of a school experiment. To this end [Markus Bindhammer] decided to implement a flow battery version that uses compounds from green tea for its electrolyte, based on a German research paper from 2016. These organic flow batteries can use gallic acid, pyrogallol as well as the polyphenols in green tea, making them rather safe even in the hands of more careless students. The demonstrated flow battery uses a carbon electrode with activated carbon around it to increase surface area, a platinum wire electrode, and a graphite foil as as third electrode.
In the paper a silver electrode is also used, along...

Des chercheurs de l'université de Californie à San Diego, épaulés par Google, viennent de prouver un truc contre-intuitif : un Pixel mis au rebut il y a trois ans tient encore tête à un serveur professionnel sur certains calculs, au point qu'on peut en assembler un vrai data center au lieu de le foutre à la poubelle.

Une fois l'appareil ouvert, les chercheurs retirent tout ce qui ne sert plus, l'écran, la batterie au lithium, les caméras et la coque, jusqu'à ne garder que la carte mère et sa puce, ce qu'on appelle un SoC, le processeur qui faisait tourner Android avant qu'on le bascule sur une distribution Linux des plus classiques.

J’avais déjà parlé des piles CR2032 de Duracell, qui sont recouvertes de Bitrex (benzoate de dénatonium). Cette protection contre l’ingestion rendait les piles incompatibles avec les AirTags, ce qui a poussé Duracell à modifier ses piles. Energizer ne pouvait évidemment pas uniquement copier ce point, et la société a donc proposé des piles CR2032 avec une triple protection contre l’ingestion. Je n’ai pas encore trouvé d’Ultimate Child Shield, mais j’ai une version qui a la protection Colour Alert+. Les nouvelles piles ont donc trois protections. D’abord du benzoate de dénatonium, comme chez Duracell. C’est un composé extrêmement amer qui va pousser un enfant à recracher la pile,...

Depuis les premières élections européennes au suffrage universel en 1979, la participation électorale dans l'Union européenne est passée de près de 62% à seulement 50% environ en 2024. C'est près d'un électeur européen sur deux qui ne se rend plus aux urnes. Le décrochage démocratique est profondément marqué entre 1979 et 2014 : en trente-cinq ans, la participation chute de près de 20 points de pourcentage, atteignant son record le plus bas en 2014 avec plus de 56% d'abstention. Le phénomène n'est cependant pas uniforme selon les pays. Certains États comme la Belgique ou le Luxembourg maintiennent des taux de participation supérieurs à 85 %, où le vote est obligatoire.

Ever since the early web, people have been streaming video with inexpensive webcams, and since the advent of the Raspberry Pi and its dedicated camera slot we’ve really seen how easy it can be to build security cameras or any other webcam and get it online quickly. But these cameras notably lack defensive capabilities if anyone tries to break into an area they shouldn’t be, and [John] added some features to this webcam to help defend his garage.
The webcam itself is a custom build, mounted on a custom-built tilt-and-pan mount that lets it freely rotate to view any location in the garage. Some custom software running on a Raspberry Pi lets it operate in autonomous mode or be controlled manually from an...

If you’ve ever taken a close look at a vacuum tube, you’ll have seen the seals around the pins that keep everything air-tight while providing the the device’s electrical contacts. As [maurycyz] finds out, it’s not an easy process to get right.
The problem is one of both chemistry and thermal expansion, as while a good seal can be made between glass and red copper oxide, it remains very difficult indeed to stop the glass cracking on cooldown due to differing thermal expansion properties. We’re led through a variety of experiments including surface treatments and flattening the metal to a sheet, with varying pros and cons. The most successful seal on the page comes from very thin tungsten wire, though...

Music hums quietly through libraries, dorm rooms, and late-night study sessions. For many students, it feels like a natural partner to reading. A new study from Edith Cowan University offers a closer look at this habit and challenges a long-standing belief. Music does not affect everyone the same way, and its impact depends on the person listening. The research, led by Dr Lindsey Cooke, surveyed more than 220 university students. It explored how often they listen to music while reading and why they choose to do so. The results show a nearly even divide. About 54 percent reported regularly listening to music while studying, while 46 percent preferred silence. This split suggests there is no single best way to...

Fire leaves behind a simple story when it is fresh. Ash settles, bones blacken, wood chars. Over a million years later, that story becomes much harder to read. In South Africa’s Wonderwerk Cave, researchers now say some of the oldest traces of fire linked to early humans reach back between 1.07 and 1.79 million years. That pushes the timeline deeper into the Early Acheulean and strengthens the case that hominins were not merely encountering wildfire on the landscape. They were likely bringing it into the cave and sustaining it there. The new evidence comes from Wonderwerk Cave in the Kalahari Desert, a site that has already played a central role in debates over early fire use. Earlier work there had...

The basics of producing a stereophotograph of real life places were well-established by the time the View-Master arrived, but producing images of imaginary scenes was a bit more involved. [View Master Travels and Peter Dibble] took a look at how the fairy tale and media tie-in reels may have been made.
Staring with simple dioramas, View-Master eventually developed an entire team to work on fairy tales. One of the most influential members was sculptor [Florence Thomas]. She was instrumental in updating many of the original fairy tale reels from small scale miniatures to 1/6 scale dioramas for the scenes. Unfortunately, the department was eventually cut and all the original miniatures thrown away.

“Rice is a staple agricultural resource for over half the global population. Using the data-modeling methods, which account for major biophysical processes and all major environmental and management factors, our study shows that rice production for 2006–2015 has increased by almost 2-fold since the 1960s, despite growing concerns about climate change and other extreme climate event risks. Management practices through the expansion of irrigated and non-irrigated cropping harvested areas and the increased rates of N fertilizer and manure application have helped to maintain higher production rates since the 1960s… Accounting for the effects of management factors, the total production increased by 76%.

Its Football Fever Study, launched for the 2026 FIFA World Cup, is recruiting supporters of all national teams to track how match events affect heart rate and stress levels. The project uses smartwatch data to follow what happens during games, then compares those bodily changes with what is unfolding on the pitch. The appeal is broad by design. Anyone using a device from one of 13 supported brands can take part. The study records heart rate, stress, movement and sleep automatically through the watch, and the researchers say the data are collected...

A dark point inside a beam of light should not be much of a traveler. Yet in a new experiment, some of those points appeared to move faster than light itself, darting through a wave field before blinking out of existence. The feat did not involve particles, signals, or any loophole in Einstein’s theory. What the team tracked were optical phase singularities, tiny places where the amplitude of a light wave falls to zero. They are points of complete darkness inside a structured field of light, and because they carry neither mass nor information, their apparent motion can exceed light speed without violating relativity. That distinction is the heart of a study led by researchers at the Technion-Israel Institute...
