Russia Tests Hypersonic Missile at NATO’s Doorstep—and Shares the Video

wired.com Javier Carbajal 2025-09-30 22:49:20

On Sunday, Russia released images of its launch of a 3M22 Zircon hypersonic missile from a frigate in the Barents Sea, in the Arctic Ocean, near NATO borders. The launch comes against a backdrop of rising tensions with the West, just days after several Russian drones violated the airspace of North Atlantic Treaty Organization member countries Poland and Romania. The Zircon test is part of the Zapad 2025 joint maneuvers with Belarus, a week of military exercises aimed at assessing defensive and

The Robot Vacuum’s Next Humble Trick: Climbing Stairs

gizmodo.com Wes Davis 2025-10-13 03:30:34

Stair-climbing robot vacuums are actually about to be a reality, sort of. That’s courtesy of a little baby trend at IFA 2025 of robot vacuums slipping into something more climbable—a little caddy that carries them upstairs when it’s time to move floors, then waits to carry them back down when they’re done. The first one we encountered was the Eufy MarsWalker. Then, it turned out that Dreame had one, too, using almost the exact same approach, only it’s weirdly much scarier-looking. Both have a s

wired.com Nicole Kinning 2025-10-12 22:33:00

As a new parent myself, I can tell you unequivocally that when babies become mobile, the world becomes their playground. Coffee tables become climbing gyms, cabinets become treasure troves, and phone chargers become rope toys. Babyproofing your home isn’t about bubble-wrapping your life; it’s about thinking like a young mind and getting one step ahead of curiosity. We’re here to help: This guide will help you spot hidden dangers, make smart fixes, and provide a safe space for little ones to expl

Eufy’s Got a Little Stair-Climbing Mech Suit for Its Robot Vacuums

gizmodo.com Wes Davis 2025-10-16 18:58:08

Robot vacuums that can climb stairs are now officially a thing if IFA 2025 is any indication. At the Berlin tech show, Eufy announced the MarsWalker, a dang stair-climbing mech suit that your robot vacuum can wear. And Eufy plans to release it in the spring of next year, with pricing to be announced later. Robot vacuum owners have been waiting years for a couple of things: a robot that actually does what you want with no compromises (we’re not there yet) and the ability for them to actually get

Eufy’s Marswalker Is the First Robot Vacuum Designed to Climb a Full Flight of Stairs

cnet.com See Full Bio 2025-10-17 16:30:00

Stairs are the enemy of robot vacuums everywhere. There isn’t currently a single robot vacuum on the market that can climb a flight of stairs without human assistance. Even the best robot vacuums we recommend for their ability to cross obstacles, like the Dreame X50 Ultra and Roborock Saros Z70, can only handle thresholds between two and three inches. Eufy’s Marswalker may be the first robot vacuum to truly be able to tackle this problem. It’s a robot vacuum that looks a bit like a wheeled Mars

FirstClub bucks India’s speed obsession, quickly triples valuation to $120M with premium approach

techcrunch.com Jagmeet Singh 2025-10-18 10:21:08

While quick commerce in India has become synonymous with 10-minute deliveries — and the hottest play for startups and investors — FirstClub is taking a slower, more curated route. Yet just three months after launching its app, the 8-month-old startup has tripled its valuation. At a post-money valuation of $120 million, the Bengaluru-based startup has raised $23 million in a Series A round (comprising more than 90% equity and the rest in debt) co-led by returning investors Accel and RTP Global.

Yes, ‘Alien: Earth’ Is Actually Going There With the Xenomorphs

gizmodo.com Germain Lussier 2025-10-30 10:30:00

When Alien: Earth started, the main novelty was the idea of seeing an alien on Earth. Now, a few episodes in, we’ve seen that and things have moved along. Then it became about the idea of scientists actually studying these legendary creatures, a moment the franchise always hinted at but never fully got around to. In those ways and more, Alien: Earth was doing things the movies could never, and had never, done. But with its fourth episode, creator Noah Hawley and his team have taken that notion t

'Ten Martini' Proof Uses Number Theory to Explain Quantum Fractals

news.ycombinator.com Lyndie Chiou 2025-11-02 03:23:18

But in some ways, the proof was a bit unsatisfying. Jitomirskaya and Avila had used a method that only applied to certain irrational values of alpha. By combining it with an intermediate proof that came before it, they could say the problem was solved. But this combined proof wasn’t elegant. It was a patchwork quilt, each square stitched out of distinct arguments. Moreover, the proofs only settled the conjecture as it was originally stated, which involved making simplifying assumptions about th

The Big EV Tax Credit Mystery

If you’re thinking about buying an electric vehicle, brace yourself: the federal tax credits that offer up to $7,500 off new EVs and $4,000 off used ones could change as soon as September 30. But here’s the real issue: Nobody knows for sure what happens next. Carmakers, consumers, and even some dealerships have been operating under the belief that a signed contract before September 30 locks in the credit. But now, some automakers are quietly admitting that the IRS has not finalized that rule.
