Google introduced Google Pics, a new design tool for Workspace users that combines Gemini with its Nano Banana image model to generate and edit 'professional-grade' visuals. It launches as both a standalone app and an integration inside Docs and Slides, with Drive support coming soon, letting users select objects or text within images and edit them via prompts.
United Airlines has introduced an app feature allowing travelers who were rebooked onto a later flight to add themselves to standby lists for up to three earlier flights heading to the same destination. The app tracks all three flights and alerts travelers by text when a seat becomes available, letting them decide whether to switch without losing their confirmed rebooked seat until they choose to.
Dyson has unveiled the CameraJet, a $499 toothbrush that uses a tiny built-in camera and an AI system called Gap Optical Targeting to spot gaps between teeth in real time. The device then fires a targeted burst of mouthrinse into those gaps to dislodge plaque, while an accompanying app shows coverage maps and brushing feedback without storing any images. The product is the result of a six-year collaboration between hundreds of Dyson engineers and dental professionals, including researchers at the National University of Singapore.
Shelly has introduced its first security camera, priced at $49.99 and available in black or white through its online store and resellers. The wired, USB-C-powered camera offers 1080p video with a 110-degree horizontal and 70-degree vertical field of view, night vision, local microSD storage, and smart home automation triggers via other Shelly devices, all without requiring a paid plan.
NASA currently has no confirmed new lander or rover missions to Mars, marking the first such gap in over three decades. Instead, the agency is prioritizing SkyFall, a trio of helicopters slated to launch as early as 2028 alongside the nuclear-powered Space Reactor-1 'Freedom' mission, which will test electric propulsion using the repurposed core of the canceled Gateway station. JPL is partnering with AeroVironment, the team behind the Ingenuity helicopter, to build the new aircraft, which will be slightly heavier and carry upgraded rotors.
Logistics firm OneRail has launched OmniStar, a platform built with Nvidia's AI software that helps retailers quickly select the most efficient delivery option for each order.

They support a wide range of audio codecs including aptX Lossless and offer both wired and USB-C lossless playback.

Modern smart thermostats, including the Ecobee Premium and Google Nest models, now include built-in humidity sensors that continuously track moisture levels inside a home. Users can check these readings remotely through apps like Google Home and Alexa, and some devices let owners set custom alerts that trigger when humidity crosses a set threshold.
Dyson has introduced the CameraJet, an electric toothbrush that combines bristles with an integrated water flosser guided by a tiny embedded camera. The camera captures 28 images per second to detect gaps between teeth and fires a cone-shaped jet of rinse into them within 100 milliseconds, using a machine-learning model trained on roughly 470,000 dental images gathered over six years of development.
