[Clough42] has started a new CNC control cabinet build, and uses it as an opportunity to demonstrate why he models the whole thing out in CAD before ordering parts or physically building anything. One may wonder why to bother, and the simple answer is to ensure there are no surprises or waste. [Clough42] has built plenty of these cabinets and there’s always something that isn’t as expected.
Modeling out an entire cabinet sounds like it should be easy, because today one can obtain 3D models for components from industrial suppliers with ease. In practice, it’s a process fraught with little gotchas.
For example, a STEP file of a component can lack convenient geometric snap points. An enclosure will be a...

Nearly two years after the last update to Boox's smartphone-sized black-and-white e-reader, the company announced the Palma 3 with a sleek redesign, new functionality, and a handful of other small updates that may justify its significant price bump depending on how you plan to use it. While the Palma 2 launched in 2024 for $279.99, the Palma 3 will be $339.99 and is expected to be "available soon."
The most obvious upgrade for the Palma 3 is the hardware itself. It still features the same 6.13-inch, 300ppi E Ink Carta screen as its predecessor (which is now quite a few years old), but it's wrapped in a new anodized aluminum frame with a pap …

Canon announced the second-generation of its EOS R8 with a new retro-inspired redesign and the addition of in-body stabilization. That feature was one of the most notable omissions from the original R8 that launched in 2023 as a smaller, cheaper, and more accessible alternative to the Canon R6 Mark II for photographers wanting a larger full-frame shooter. While the new EOS R8 Mark II is slightly heavier than its predecessor at 1.2 pounds thanks to the additional stabilization functionality, it's lighter and cheaper than last year's EOS R6 Mark III.
The Canon EOS R8 Mark II is expected to be available sometime in late October for $1,899 for …

Poll data released Tuesday by the New York Times and Siena University confirms what we've already been seeing, and what politicians are responding to - AI and data centers are incredibly unpopular. Asked if they support or oppose the construction of data centers to power AI tech, 61 percent of the 1,503 likely voters surveyed in early September (ahead of the recent AI safety slowdown discussion) said they were opposed, with only 14 percent saying they strongly support. The split was about even among 2024 Donald Trump voters, at 49 percent support to 45 percent oppose, while people who had voted for Kamala Harris or who didn't vote leaned opp …

Human stem cell-derived V2a spinal interneurons survived transplantation into injured rats, connected with the animals’ own nerve circuits and strengthened breathing-related muscle activity when the respiratory system was stressed. Three-quarters of treated rats handled low-oxygen or high-carbon-dioxide challenges without difficulty, while most untreated injured animals showed signs of respiratory failure. The work remains a proof of principle rather than a treatment for people, but it suggests precisely engineered neurons may eventually help rebuild specific spinal circuits lost after injury. A spinal cord injury can steal movement, feeling and independence in a single moment. When damage happens in the...

Sometimes a hacker has a specific sort of problem, and uses the tools they have to solve it in a way that just might be helpful to someone else. That’s the case with [Matvey Kukuy]’s Coffee Steam Dryer (V2), which performs the very specific job of safely swallowing up expelled steam and water from an espresso machine’s steam wand.
Steam purges into the top inlet and passes through expansion chambers, dragging cool air along with it, until it exits safely.
Steam wands are used to froth milk into a velvety texture, and some machines require purging the wand before using it for best results. Where does the resulting jet of steam and spatter of superhot water droplets go? Not the machine’s problem....

Two years ago, social psychologist Jonathan Haidt released his New York Times bestseller The Anxious Generation. The book posits that the rise of social media and smartphone use is largely to blame for the prominent decline in teen mental health since 2010. It quickly became a central rallying cry of the social media backlash. Haidt has been credited with helping inspire Australia's nationwide teen social media ban. He has joined forces with bereaved parents who are fighting tech companies in court. His name comes up unprompted in conversations with people in power who say his book opened their eyes to an online crisis. Haidt's theory has …

A flightless snail-eating beetle in Japan has evolved different body shapes not only across islands, but also between regions of the same large island. Slender beetles are better suited to reaching into large snail shells, while stout beetles can crush smaller shells, linking body shape to local prey. The results suggest that geographic distance and environmental differences within large islands can promote adaptive divergence even without ocean barriers. A beetle does not need an ocean between populations for evolution to send them in different directions. Across Japan, a flightless snail predator has developed distinct body forms even within the same large island. Researchers studying Carabus blaptoides...

After previously adopting a big Sony Trinitron CRT TV that had been trying to hitch a ride along the side of a road in Italy for at least six years, [Happychoice] didn’t give up on trying to fix it, with the second part showing the TV being more or less fully fixed up.
In the first part of this mini-series, the TV had been salvaged and had most of the dirt as well as local flora and fauna evicted before an attempt was made to fix it. Unfortunately despite the insides looking remarkably clean and intact considering its use as a road-side ornament, that video ended with the controller refusing to power up due to issues with the power supply.
In this sequel we get to see what six years of weather exposure means...

The site of the Chornobyl Nuclear Power Plant (ChNPP) remains a unique location, as what’s left of the No. 4 reactor is the only place in the world where you can find significant amounts of what is called corium. An amalgamation of nuclear fuel, fuel rod cladding and whatever materials like concrete that the molten mass came into contact with, Soviet scientists initially struggled to make sense of this material, leading them to even have it shot at to get samples.
In this video documentary by [That Chernobyl Guy] these struggles by scientists both in and outside the USSR to comprehend this wholly new material are detailed. Much like trinitite – created by a US nuclear weapons test – these are...

A modified Zika vaccine protected mice almost entirely through virus-killing CD8 T cells when its antibodies failed to neutralize mature virus effectively. The T-cell protection worked shortly after vaccination but disappeared by 12 weeks, while a vaccine that activated both antibodies and T cells remained protective. The experiments show that altering a viral protein to reduce antibody-dependent enhancement can unintentionally disrupt vaccine-particle maturation and weaken lasting immunity. A vaccine tweak meant to reduce a dangerous antibody problem did something unexpected in mice. It shifted protection against Zika virus almost entirely onto CD8-positive T cells, which controlled infection well at first...

Summary: Overpopulation fears date back to ancient Greece, when the Trojan War was portrayed as Zeus’s solution to excessive population. Though understandable in a preindustrial world, such anxieties became outdated as technology expanded humanity’s productive capacity. Yet Malthusian ideas still shape policies and environmental rhetoric despite improving technology and falling fertility rates. The Odyssey is giving today’s moviegoing audiences a glimpse into the myths of the distant past, but one of the most surprising ideas in the Homeric tradition feels decidedly modern: overpopulation. In Greek mythology, the Trojan War was a deadly conflict that Zeus orchestrated to fight human...

“Definium Therapeutics has scored a third straight phase 3 win for its LSD formula, with the psychedelic significantly alleviating anxiety symptoms and setting up an FDA filing next year. While the Panorama trial did compare Definium’s DT120 ODT to placebo, the study also pitted the 100 μg dose against a 50 μg dose, which is meant to still be psychoactive but not produce any therapeutic benefit. Panorama enrolled 245 patients. DT120 easily trounced placebo as it did in the phase 3 Voyage trial a month ago, reducing scores on the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A) by 9.8 points at week 12 after treatment compared to 4.7 points for the placebo. This 5.1-point difference between the 100 μg dose and...

“Migrants sent $728.6 billion home to families in low and middle-income countries in 2025, nearly double the amount recorded a decade earlier, according to a new report from the UN’s International Fund for Agricultural Development (IFAD). These transfers, known as remittances, grew by 94 per cent between 2016 and 2025, far outpacing the 28 per cent increase in the number of migrants from those countries. The gap shows that growth is not simply the result of more people migrating: on average, migrants abroad are sending larger amounts home. Some 220 million migrants and people from the diaspora support an estimated 1.1 billion relatives.” From United Nations.

When we talk about programming in “bare metal,” it basically means writing software that runs right on the hardware with no operating system or abstraction layers in between. This gives the program the most direct possible access to peripherals and memory, with the tradeoff being that you don’t get the protection and ancillary features that come with an OS.
Sylvain Huet came down to Hackaday Europe 2026 to talk about making bare metal easy. Not just by ignoring operating systems and ever-bloating dependencies, but by rethinking the way we approach software development and by building a transparent platform from the ground up.

Researchers have assembled Unite, the largest internally consistent Type Ia supernova Hubble diagram yet, combining 2,884 likely exploding white dwarf stars observed across decades of surveys. When Unite is combined with measurements of baryon acoustic oscillations and the cosmic microwave background, the results favor a model in which dark energy changes over cosmic time rather than remaining a fixed cosmological constant. The evidence is intriguing rather than decisive. Frequentist tests give a 3.1 to 3.3 sigma preference for evolving dark energy, while Bayesian model comparison finds only weak support, and the researchers caution that systematic uncertainties complicate simple significance claims.

Humans use an unusually consistent heel-first walking style, while chimpanzees switch between heel and midfoot landings and become even less likely to heel-strike when walking on two legs. Experiments found that forcing people to walk with midfoot strikes increased metabolic energy costs by about 26% to 41%, showing why heel-first walking could have helped human ancestors travel farther. That efficiency came with a trade-off. Human heel strikes generated much higher impact forces and loading rates, suggesting later hominins needed stronger heels and larger lower-limb joints to make long-distance walking safe. Walking feels so automatic that one of its most unusual features is easy to overlook. With almost...

L'équipe derrière suyu , l'émulateur Nintendo Switch né des cendres de yuzu , a publié le début septembre une dernière version de son logiciel, puis a fermé le dépôt sur un ultime commit intitulé "FINAL". Et cette version d'adieu embarque un truc que j'ai trouvé intéressant. C'est un mode baptisé Recompiler, qui change totalement la façon dont le code du jeu est "traduit".
D'habitude, un émulateur traduit les instructions ARM de la console en instructions x86 au fur et à mesure que le jeu tourne. C'est ce qu'on appelle un JIT. Alors que là, le mode Recompiler fait le boulot à l'avance en prenant le code ARM64 du jeu et en le convertissant en code C.
