Roborock was the first company to market to offer a robot vacuum with a mechanical arm to help you sort items, with the Roborock Saros Z70 making a strong impression on us when we tested it. We liked its capabilities (despite some bugs) and it earned a spot on our list of best robot vacuums, with the caveat that the hefty $2,600 price tag put it out of reach for most people. In a recent interview with CNBC, Quan Gang, president of Roborock, suggested that robot vacuums with arms won’t stay this

Anduril, Blue Origin to study how to transport cargo from orbit to Earth for the Pentagon

techcrunch.com Aria Alamalhodaei 2025-11-03 17:11:37

Blue Origin and Anduril have landed new study contracts with the U.S. Air Force to explore how their technology, including rockets, could move military cargo around the world. The contracts under the Air Force’s Rocket Cargo program are relatively small — Blue Origin’s comes in at $1.37 million and Anduril’s at $1 million. But they could be the first steps in revolutionizing how the Pentagon transports cargo. Study contracts like these are also a strong signal as to which players will later c

Celebrating 50 years of The Rocky Horror Picture Show

When The Rocky Horror Picture Show premiered in 1975, no one could have dreamed that it would become the longest-running theatrical release film in history. But that's what happened. Thanks to a killer soundtrack, campy humor, and a devoted cult following, Rocky Horror is still a mainstay of midnight movie culture. In honor of its 50th anniversary, Disney/20th Century Studios is releasing a newly restored 4K HDR version in October, along with deluxe special editions on DVD and Blu-ray. And the f

SpaceX is continuing with final preparations for the 10th full-scale test flight of the company's enormous Starship rocket after receiving launch approval Friday from the Federal Aviation Administration. Engineers completed a final test of Starship's propulsion system with a so-called "spin prime" test Wednesday at the launch site in South Texas. Ground crews then rolled the ship back to a nearby hangar for engine inspections, touchups to its heat shield, and a handful of other chores to ready

How old is the earliest trace of life on Earth?

The question of when life began on Earth is as old as human culture. “It's one of these fundamental human questions: When did life appear on Earth?” said Professor Martin Whitehouse of the Swedish Museum of Natural History. So when some apparently biological carbon was dated to at least 3.95 billion years ago—making it the oldest remains of life on Earth—the claim sparked interest and skepticism in equal measure, as Ars Technica reported in 2017.
