Watch a Reconstructed 250-Year-Old Robotic Painting Bring a Fiery Mount Vesuvius Back to Life

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2026-01-25 23:35:10

Sir William Hamilton was the British ambassador to the court of Naples and Sicily from 1765 to 1800, as well as a passionate volcanologist. During his time in Italy he must have seen Mount Vesuvius erupt a number of times—certainly enough to leave a lasting impression. So much so that in 1775 he designed a rotating device that, with mechanical movement and light, could bring to life the fiery magma depicted in Pietro Fabris’ 1771 watercolor, “Night view of a current of lava.” While experts aren

A hot potato: Google says that unlike rival Apple, it has not received a demand from the UK government to build a backdoor in its encrypted services. The tech giant had refused to answer a US Senator's question on the matter, but it has since confirmed it is not subject to a similar order as Apple.

Josh Hawley Wants to Send Out Rebate Checks So Americans Can ‘Benefit’ From Trump’s Tariffs

President Trump’s tariffs have generated around 20 billion dollars in revenue for the U.S. government, although it’s worth noting that a vast majority of this wealth has been derived from import duties on American businesses. In other words, Americans are paying the federal government (many critics have noted that tariffs are just taxes by another name) for the pleasure of doing business with foreign exporters.
