Tech blogger 神奇阿宇 from Hubei, China, built a working hoverboard.
Electric, with 10 brushless motors pushing over 30kg of thrust each—enough to lift 4 people—and peak current hitting 2,000 amps.
2 STEPX Neo phones as the board's brain. One inside the board reads posture data in real time; the other on his wrist feeds AI voice prompts through his earbuds—"Weight's shifting left!" "Bend your right knee!"
After 10+ days of brutal training and AI-assisted correction, he achieved man-machine sync.

A young Chinese neurotechnology company wiped out U.S. smart prosthetic firms that had boasted about their "advanced prosthetics" for years.
BrainCo’s bionic hand weighs just 383 grams, delivers more than 50N of grip force, interprets neural and muscle signals, and lets users grasp, type, drink, exercise and control the hand almost intuitively.
Western companies made smart prosthetics look like futuristic luxury hardware.
China is turning them into something lighter, stronger, more practical and increasingly manufacturable.
The real disruption is not that China made a better demo.
It is that China is industrializing what others kept presenting as the future.
America marketed the future.
China put it on an arm.

A ROBOT CLEARS A HOUSE FASTER THAN AN ASSAULT TEAM AND MAKES 0 MISTAKES
Look at the caption at the bottom of the frame, not at the machine. Test CQB-18. Headshot evaluation. That is the name of the exercise, printed by whoever runs the range.
Clearing rooms is the hardest thing infantry does. A room is decided in about 2 seconds, a team of 4 has to move as 1 body, and most of the training is not about shooting. It is about not shooting the wrong person.
Every mistake in a house comes from a nervous system. Tunnel vision. Hearing that drops out after the first shot indoors because a rifle fired inside 4 walls is deafening. A pulse at 160 and hands that will not stay still. Entire doctrines exist to work around those 4 problems.
A machine has none of them, and that changes the aiming point. Armies train center mass because the chest is the only thing a shaking human can reliably hit. Take the human out and the point of aim moves up about 30 centimetres, permanently.
Which quietly deletes the most important thing a soldier wears. Plates stop rifle rounds in the chest, and 10 kilograms of armour has been worth carrying for 60 years for exactly 1 reason: everybody was shooting at the chest.
Body armour was always a bet that the shooter is human.

Pulsar Fusion has achieved first plasma in its Sunbird fusion rocket exhaust system at its Bletchley facility in the UK.
The milestone marks a key step toward developing its planned fusion propulsion technology.
Sunbird aims to enable much faster travel through deep space than conventional rocket propulsion.
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
Pulsar reported first plasma (krypton, no fusion) in March 2026 ground exhaust test. Video is CGI, not the actual brief lab footage.

China Is Bringing Robot Culture to Russia
Yandex robots have become part of daily life in St. Petersburg. The city has around 350 robots that have completed more than 173,000 deliveries, with plans to increase the number to 20,000 robots by the end of 2027.

ETH Zurich researchers trained a robotic hand to use its five fingers as legs for untethered locomotion, with onboard power, sensing, and computation.
Reinforcement-learning policies enable the system to crawl, steer, recover from falls, and adapt its locomotion across 14 indoor and outdoor surfaces, including carpet, tile, asphalt, grass, and gravel.
The hand can also perform keyboard presses while supporting its own weight and use overhead visual feedback to push objects toward target locations.

$65,000 ROBOT AND IT JUST GLITCHED IN PUBLIC
This humanoid was calmly riding the escalator when something clearly went wrong. For a few seconds, it looked completely confused, making people around it stop and watch.
And that’s the crazy part: this isn’t some cheap toy. This robot reportedly costs around $65,000.
We’re getting closer to a world where humanoid robots are walking around public spaces, but moments like this show how far they still have to go before they can handle every unexpected situation like a human.

166,000 neurons from a dead fruit fly now hunt drones from a bedroom desk.
A white drone the size of a palm lifts off the carpet, and a black 3D-printed turret on the desk swings after it, with the fly's brain working its 2 stepper motors, 1 camera and 2 barrels through a nest of rainbow wires on a breadboard.
That brain sits in the top-left corner of the screen and flares every time the drone jerks.
A Patriot interceptor costs about $4 million, and armies are firing them at drones worth a fraction of that.
This brain is smaller than a poppy seed, and Google put it online for free 2 weeks ago.
Then someone gave it a job it was built for.
Most of a fly's brain exists to see motion, and this brain is male, and male flies spend their lives chasing whatever moves.
The drone climbs past the ceiling fan and the crosshair climbs with it, then drops when it drops.
For 18 seconds it never loses the drone.
In the last shot the drone flies home to the guy holding the controller, and the crosshair follows it right onto his chest.
It spent its whole life dodging swatters. Now it's the one aiming.

China isn’t building giant ships simply for show — the “Hua Rui Long” is a clear example of that.
This Chinese semi-submersible heavy-lift vessel, with a deadweight of more than 80,000 tons, represents a different kind of maritime capability. Its massive deck can be submerged deep underwater, allowing huge ships and offshore structures to float over it before being lifted and transported over long distances.
The Hua Rui Long is far more than a heavy-transport ship. It combines maritime salvage, offshore oil and gas transportation, wreck recovery, and the ability to handle cargoes that would be virtually impossible for conventional vessels to move.
What stands out is that China is not simply building giant commercial ships; it is developing an integrated maritime engineering capability spanning salvage, energy, transportation, and offshore construction.
