The CeiliX InfinityCranes by CeiliX Technology GmbH makes it simple and easy to move large items around an industrial space, without taking up floor space that could be used for other purposes.

The Open University's Animal-Computer Interaction Laboratory has developed the Dogosophy Button — a large wireless switch designed specifically for dogs to operate with their nose or paw. Trained service dogs can use it to control lights, fans, kettles, and other plugged-in appliances, helping people with mobility disabilities, visual impairments, or other conditions live more independently. The name comes from "dog-centered design philosophy" — the idea that instead of adapting human technology for animals, the device was built from the ground up around how dogs naturally interact with the world. The button pairs wirelessly with a receiver in about 30 seconds and works from up to 40 meters away. It's currently available in the UK for £80. #ServiceDogs# #AssistiveTechnology# #Design# #Innovation#

A forgotten Bitcoin wallet from college. Eleven years of failed recovery attempts. Claude found the answer not by cracking encryption, but by finding an old wallet file buried in forgotten college computer data. Do you have any old hard drives sitting around that might be worth checking? #Bitcoin# #Claude# #AI#

Figure AI's humanoid robots — powered by the Helix-02 neural network — just completed a full 8-hour autonomous shift sorting packages in a factory. The company live-streamed the humanoid's sorting tasks which ran for over 14 hours. Multi-robot coordination with automatic swap-outs when batteries run low. Is this hat the future of factory work looks like? #FigureAI# #Helix02# #HumanoidRobots# #Robotics# #FactoryAutomation# #AIRobotics# #FutureOfWork# #Autonomous#

Submarines are getting quieter, smarter, and harder to detect. The US Navy just budgeted $152 million to build a weapon that can reach them from further away — before they get close enough to matter. #AntiSubmarine# #USNavy# #UnderwaterWarfare#

Scientists built an underwater robot that uses sound and vision to find hidden coral reef biodiversity hotspots. #CoralReef# #UnderwaterRobot# #MarineConservation#

At least a dozen CEOs have accompanied US President Donald Trump to China. Tesla CEO Elon Musk was spotted posing for pictures with Apple CEO Tim Cook at the Chinese state banquet in Beijing. Musk and Cook are part of the delegation of American CEOs who joined President Trump on his trip to China for the historic summit. #TrumpChina# #TrumpXiSummit# #ElonMusk# #TimCook# #USChinaRelations#

Trump's delegation landed in Beijing under a digital lockdown — personal phones left behind, stripped-down devices only, operating under the assumption that anything brought into China could be compromised. Federal guidelines warn against plugging into unknown USB ports, where experts say compromised hardware could potentially extract data or install malicious software — a tactic known as "juice jacking." The precautions extend to the CEO delegation traveling with the president, including Elon Musk, Jensen Huang, Tim Cook, Kelly Ortberg, Cristiano Amon, and Larry Fink. Inside the Great Hall of the People, Trump and Xi held what the White House described as a "good meeting." The two leaders agreed to frame their relationship as "constructive, strategic and stable" — a new positioning intended to guide ties for the next three years. Xi said China's door to US businesses "will only open wider" and called for expanded cooperation in trade, health, agriculture, and military communication. But he also issued a stark warning on Taiwan: "If handled poorly, the two countries will have clashes and even conflicts, pushing the entire relationship into a very dangerous situation." Markets reacted cautiously — China's yuan hit a three-year high while stocks pulled back, with investors waiting for concrete outcomes. Trump and Xi could meet at least twice more in 2026 — at APEC in Shenzhen and the G20 in Miami. #Trump# #Xi# #Beijing# #USChina# #Diplomacy#

Over Lake Maracaibo where the Catatumbo River pours in, the sky turns into a constant electric show — lightning flashes up to 140–160 nights per year and can strike 16–40 times per minute, making this place the highest‑density lightning hotspot on Earth. Scientists think the region’s bowl‑like geography and collision of warm, moist Caribbean air with cool mountain winds keeps the storms firing night after night, almost like a natural strobe light over the water. #CatatumboLightning# #LightningLake# #LakeMaracaibo# #Venezuela# #ViralScience#

In 1996, McDonald’s teamed up with Swiss airline Crossair and tour operator Hotelplan to turn a McDonnell Douglas MD‑83 into a flying McDonald’s restaurant. The jet — nicknamed the “McPlane” or “Flying Ketchup” — was painted red and yellow inside and out, with 161 branded seats and menus featuring burgers, nuggets, milkshakes, and soft drinks served at altitude. It flew leisure routes from Basel to Mediterranean holiday spots as a bold marketing experiment well before “viral campaigns” were a thing. Fries weren’t on the menu due to safety and preparation limits in the air, and after a short run the aircraft was repainted and returned to normal service. If you could take a “McPlane” flight today, what meal would you order first? #McDonalds# #McPlane# #FlyingRestaurant# #MarketingHistory#
