The end of the Ford F-150 Lightning was also the start of a new era for the automaker. After failing to capture the market with the electric version of its popular F-Series truck, Ford is going back to the drawing board with its Universal Electric Vehicle Platform. The first offering will be a $30,000 electric truck, engineered for efficiency and also — perhaps most importantly — profitability. The truck will be revealed in 2027, but Ford plans on building a whole family of low-cost electric vehicles at its Kentucky assembly plant. The heavily camouflaged truck has already been spotted out in the wild, with observers noting that it seems even smaller than the Maverick. Success isn’t guaranteed. Ford has...

A little over a month ago, we featured a project from [Igor] who built 64 bits of DRAM from scratch using discrete components. Jokes about memory pricing aside, he did have a use case for such a small amount of memory — he is using it in a custom-built drum machine. But featuring the memory build and not the drum machine was perhaps putting the cart before the horse, so in this video, [Igor] shows off the construction of each part of his impressive 16- or 64-step sequence drum machine.
This isn’t Igor’s first drum machine, either, although his previous build was a bit more limited. It had fewer steps in the sequence and didn’t quite have the range of his newer model. The upgraded version can play more...

Tradition oblige, Andy Burnham a été reçu par le roi Charles III au palais de Buckingham, qui l'a chargé de former un gouvernement. Après cette audience, l'ancien maire du Grand Manchester est devenu le septième Premier ministre britannique en dix ans. Il succède à Keir Starmer, poussé à la démission par son impopularité et les pressions croissantes au sein du Parti travailliste. Le nouveau chef du gouvernement a promis de faire de son arrivée un "disjoncteur" pour le Royaume-Uni et de permettre au pays de retrouver une certaine stabilité. Une promesse ambitieuse dans un pays où les mandats des Premiers ministres se sont considérablement raccourcis depuis le vote en faveur de la sortie de...

Uranium pollution has lingered in soil and water for decades, often long after mining operations have ended. In many places, the metal remains dissolved in groundwater, posing risks to ecosystems and human health. A new study suggests that microscopic life may hold a surprising solution, turning a dangerous contaminant into a stable compound that could remain locked away for years. Researchers from Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf, working with Wismut GmbH and scientists at the University of Granada, have shown that naturally occurring bacteria can transform dissolved uranium into a stable chemical form. Their findings reveal a previously unknown pathway that could reshape how contaminated environments are...

A judge partially granted the request from a dozen state attorneys general to temporarily place the $110 billion merger of Paramount and Warner Bros. Discovery on hold, as reported by Variety and Reuters. US District Judge Araceli Martínez-Olguín said that based on the new company's market share, "the Court is persuaded that it can presume the proposed merger is likely to violate antitrust laws," and that the states showed "irreparable harm" could occur without a temporary restraining order.

There was once a race to put out cameras with ever higher numbers of megapixels to snare customers eager to take the highest quality digital photos. These days, we know that things like optics, processing, and finer qualities of an image sensor are all very important beyond pure resolution. But, for a time, companies behaved as if megapixels mattered over all else.
But what if you could go farther—shooting not millions, but billions of pixels in a single image? That’s precisely what [Yannick Richter] came to Hackaday Europe to talk about, covering his Project Gigapixel build. More Pixels

Welcome to the “what is a photo” debate, Adobe. | Image: Adobe Adobe's experimental camera app has taken an unexpected turn. After Project Indigo was launched last year to provide a "more natural (SLR-like) look" for iPhone photography, the Indigo camera app is now being updated with a suite of generative AI tools. And the change doesn't rely upon Adobe's own Firefly AI models.
Adobe describes the new "AI Playground" tooling suite as an experiment and says there's a button that allows users to opt out and continue using the app as before. Free access to the suite with no sign-on requirement is being tested with a small percentage of Indigo users over the next few weeks. "Our goal is to learn how people...

Artificial tissues can mimic muscle, liver, kidney and skin, but they still face a basic survival problem: cells need blood vessels. Without a dense vascular network, oxygen and nutrients cannot reach deep into engineered tissue, and waste cannot escape. MIT engineers have now shown that mechanical stretching can help solve that problem. By repeatedly pulling on a lab-grown vessel, they increased the growth of new capillary-like sprouts and guided the direction those sprouts followed. The work, reported in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, introduces a vessel-on-a-chip platform that uses magnets to apply controlled strain inside a three-dimensional tissue model. The system lets researchers...

Medical care in space has long faced a quiet but serious limitation. For more than 40 years, astronauts relied on ultrasound as their only imaging tool. While useful, it cannot answer every question when something goes wrong. Now, a new study shows a major step forward. Crew members aboard a commercial spaceflight have captured the first diagnostic X-rays in orbit. The results suggest that a simple, portable device could transform how health and safety are managed in space. A Longstanding Gap In Space Medicine Space travel places the human body under strain. Bones weaken, fluids shift, and injuries become harder to diagnose. As missions grow longer, risks increase. Ultrasound has served as the main imaging...

Since the first V2 rocket sailed above the Kármán line back in 1944 and right up until the modern era, the trajectory of most space-bound rockets was more or less the same: after expending their propellants they would either crash into some desolate steppe or plunge into the ocean. In either event, the rocket was disposable. The important bit up top might go on to explore the stars or send a human crew off on their mission, but the booster rocket that lifted the spacecraft out of the atmosphere was always going to be sacrificed for the cause.
But in the 1970s NASA had a wild idea: what if we didn’t smash a brand-new rocket valued at millions of dollars into the ocean every time we wanted to put something...

A man paralyzed from the shoulders down can now bring his hands to his face, grasp a cup and feel pressure on his wrist. A brain and spinal cord system helped restore abilities once considered exceedingly difficult to recover. The experimental “double neural bypass” combines brain implants, electrical stimulation, artificial intelligence and a wearable hand device. It reads the man’s intention to move, activates his own muscles and sends touch information back to his brain. Some improvements continued when stimulation stopped. That result suggests the system could act as both an assistive device and a rehabilitation tool, according to research published in Nature Medicine. The trial involved a...

Finding another planet outside of our solar system that can comfortably be called ‘Earth-like’ is one of those discoveries that — if confirmed — would be a major event. The complication here is that with every exoplanet that we discover through observations, determining the type of planet is hard enough, never mind figuring out whether it has an atmosphere, much less what’s in that atmosphere. This makes a recent report on LHS 1140 b rather exciting, as it strongly suggests that this super-Earth may have something close to an Earth-like atmosphere.
In the paper by [Collin Cherubim] and others in Science, the findings of helium occasionally escaping from its atmosphere have led to considerable...

Earlier this month, Vietnam’s Ministry of Public Security announced it had dismantled the network behind the high-profile HiAnime piracy ring. While the associated site already closed its doors in March, the action is vital for Vietnam since the U.S. Trade Representative (USTR) recently classified it as “Priority Foreign Country,” because of its lacking anti-piracy enforcement.
Last month, USTR formally started a Section 301 investigation which opened the door to potential trade sanctions. As part of this process, stakeholders were requested to provide input on Vietnam’s alleged shortcomings. This includes the piracy challenges and concerns, which are highlighted as the primary concern.
