It's been over a century since the original concept of the monorail train from the 1903 Gyro-Monorail project was introduced, but few have attempted to replicate it—until now. A YouTuber known as “HyperspacePirate” has built a working miniature model of the monorail train, demonstrating its ability to stay upright using Control Moment Gyroscopes (CMGs). Unlike traditional methods that rely on…
According to the US Geological Survey, China produces about 98% of the world's gallium and 60% of the germanium. The bans and subsequent export regulations have underlined Beijing's influence over the supply chain of critical minerals worldwide. These semiconductor metals, namely gallium and germanium, are utilized extensively in semiconductors, communications…

Humanoid robots dominated the five-…
Onsemi introduced its latest generation of silicon and silicon carbide hybrid Power Integrated Modules (PIMs), designed to boost power output in utility-scale solar string inverters and energy storage systems (ESS). Packaged in the innovative F5BP design, these new modules offer increased power density and efficiency, enabling solar inverters to deliver up to 350kW…
In the fast-paced world of portable electronics, a new project, Pilet, has captured the attention of tech enthusiasts and makers alike. Based on the newly released Raspberry Pi 5, this modular mini-computer is designed for versatility and portability. With a 7-hour battery life and support for a wide range of modules, it’s still in development but promises an exciting launch soon.…
After a few days of release, a crucial bug was discovered for the RP2350 microcontroller. The Raspberry Pi Foundation released their new and improved in-house designed microcontroller RP2350 along with their new Raspberry Pi Pico 2 development board featuring the same SoC a few days back. Raspberry Pi has confirmed that the bug causes pins to freeze outputting 2.15V when configured as inputs…
A brief 20-second video on Twitter (X) provided a first look at this groundbreaking AI training supercluster, located within Tesla's expansive 10-million-square-foot Giga Texas facility in Austin. The Cortex cluster is composed of 100,000 Nvidia H100/H200 GPUs, some of the most powerful GPUs available, crucial for training large language models (LLMs) such as OpenAI'…
The Unitree G1 Humanoid Robot stands 4 feet tall and weighs roughly 77 pounds (35 kilograms) and equipped with 23 degrees of freedom, allowing it to perform a range of complex movements, from jumping, turning and climbing stairs. Additionally, it can get up from a reclining posture and even fold into a compact size for convenient transport, making it versatile for…
TT Electronics has unveiled the TAA 240-27C, a high-performance 12V/24V dual output power supply. Equipped with a range of advanced features such as a high MTBF (Mean Time Between Failures) and thermal management capabilities, the TAA 240-27C is ideal for critical applications such as wireless communications, automatic ordering kiosks, ATM machines, and vending…
According to Neuralink, the patient, named Alex, did not experience thread retraction unlike the first patient, and was discharged from Barrow Neurological Institute. He can now play video games and is learning 3D design software - just by thinking about it.
