Most comets, including the well-known Halley's, loop through our solar system like cosmic time capsules that formed alongside our Sun and planets around 4.5 billion years ago. But every now and then, something far stranger streaks across the sky; an interstellar nomad, either forged in alien star systems or eternally drifting unclaimed through the void.

It may sound like a plot twist out of a science fiction novel, but researchers have detected mysterious radio signals coming from beneath the Antarctic ice that appear to be inconsistent with the standard models of particle physics.

China controls about 90% of the entire global supply of rare earth magnets, including their mining and refining. That means that most of the neodymium, dysprosium, and terbium that end up in EV motors, drones, wind turbines and even smartphones ... well, depending on supply and demand or even geopolitical landscape, China basically makes the rules.

At first blush, the new Knaus Boxtime camper van appears to be a concept, not only because Knaus refers to it as the "camper van of the future" but also because it's loaded with envelope-pushing features like a transforming wet/dry bathroom and weight-saving materials. As it turns out, though, the future is now. Knaus has prepared no less than four different variants of the smart, stylish Boxtime camper van family for forthcoming launch.

When you think of ceiling cranes, you'd generally think of large steel I-beam girder systems that weigh a million pounds and could probably hoist the concrete foundation right out from under the building. CeiliX, however, has invented an elegant omnidirectional system called the InifnityCrane Skyrunner.

If you're into swimming and swim gear, you're probably way ahead of us on this one. Canadian tech firm Form has launched an update to its Smart Swim 2 goggles, which track your performance and heart rate in the water, and show you those stats in a head-up display. The latest version is now more durable, thanks to the inclusion of damage-resistant Gorilla Glass.

What if you could inject a drug into a "problem area" – like abdominal fat – that could kill off fat cells and reduce fat stores in that localized spot? That's what a novel drug from Taiwan's Caliway Pharmaceuticals offers, the world's very first injection that triggers programmed fat-cell death in a targeted area, like the belly or the thighs.

It's no secret that we're big camera nerds here at DPReview, and it probably won't surprise you that this passion doesn't just exist during work hours. Our various social media algorithms have picked up on this fact, and often show us some cool things that other creators have made. Since it's the weekend, we thought it'd be fun to share some of the better videos we've seen with our audience.
A review of I'm Back FilmLate last year, the oddly-named I'm Back announced that it was finally ready to start shipping the Film, a... well, film-shaped canister that it promises will turn traditional 35mm film cameras into digital ones by slotting into the film spool and putting a Four Thirds sensor behind the shutter. The company wasn't able to provide us a review unit for the launch, but apparently, YouTuber Clint Basinger, known as LGR, had backed the Kickstarter for it and received the I'm Back Film kit in January.
While he's most famous for reviewing retro computers and games, he goes fairly in-depth on how it works. The results are... well, you should watch the whole video to get all the nuance, but they're frankly not good. He wasn't able to get it to fit in a wide array of film cameras, and wound up having a pretty serious issue with image quality.
While LGR's review is solid, we'd definitely still be willing to give it a try ourselves. If anyone from I'm Back is reading this, you know where to find us.
Even more details on the unorthodox cinematography for 28 Years LaterWe've covered how Danny Boyle's new movie, 28 Years Later, was shot using iPhones a few times on this site, but Sony Pictures Entertainment has just released a new video on the matter that we think is very worthwhile. In it, Boyle and longtime collaborator Anthony Dod Mantle discuss using drones to help make sure the landscapes in the movie actually looked untouched, why they decided to make the movie with a smartphone and some of the increasingly complicated rigs they used to turn the iPhone into a movie camera.
It's the latest example of a trend where movie studios are releasing videos of filmmakers doing deep dives on their craft. We'd very much like to see this continue – maybe we can get one for the next Christopher Nolan movie, which will reportedly be the first feature-length blockbuster shot on IMAX film cameras.
A monster DIY batteryWe've all probably wished our cameras' batteries lasted just a bit longer at some point, whether because we were planning a marathon shoot or were left fishing around for a power lead or charger by a dead battery. YouTuber Evan Monsoma apparently also felt this way, but instead of just complaining about it or buying a commercially available video battery, he decided to take the DIY approach, using mostly materials he already had on hand.
For him, this meant getting a 20V battery made for power tools to work with his Sony a6600, and building an enclosure to contain all the circuitry and mount the battery to the camera. The results are impressive: he says he got over 15 hours of video recording with a 5 Amp hour battery, compared to the mere 3 hours with the stock battery.
This should probably go without saying, but don't try this one at home. It's all good fun to watch someone who (seemingly) knows what they're doing take this on as a project, but this is a concept probably best left as a "Evan did it so you don't have to."
Proving that you can't keep a good technology down, Reaction Engines' Synergetic Air-Breathing Rocket Engine (SABRE) has a new lease on life after a British-led consortium announced Invictus, a new program to build a Mach 5+ spaceplane.

Though my mind tells me I'm able, my aging body often reminds me that I'm not. Even though I'm a regular ebiker, I've recently been tempted by the stability and ease that e-trikes offer. Some impress with power, others with unique features, and then there are those boasting attractive price points. The Cerana T2 most definitely rides in the last bike lane.

This week, Sony announced the RX1R III out of the blue. Its next-generation full-frame photographer's compact features the same 60.2MP sensor found in cameras like the a7R V and a7CR, with a fixed 35mm F2 lens.
The team sat down to discuss the camera, its eye-watering price in the US and how our readers and the internet as a whole have reacted to the announcement.
If you're looking for more on the RX1R III, check out our everything you need to know article and our comparison between it and Sony's small, high-resolution ILC, the a7CR.
Most people imagine a heart attack as a dramatic clutch-the-chest collapse. But a new study shows the common mental image of heart attack symptoms rarely reflects reality, and that misunderstanding could cost precious minutes when it matters most.

Think of your gut like that one nosy neighbor; it’s always collecting data, and it knows things. While everyone poops, not everyone follows a regular schedule. And apparently, your gut is keeping score. Skip a few too many flushes, and your friendly fiber-loving microbes turn into moody rebels, fermenting proteins and brewing up toxins like it’s a wild party in the colon. Not exactly the guest list you want.

Humans love quirks. For example, eyebrow slashes, pup scarves, or TikTok moves with no practical use. Most of us don't invent these things. We see them, we copy them. Voilà: instant trend.

YASA is on a tear to demonstrate its technical prowess in flat, compact axial flux motor technology. As we've seen repeatedly in the past, good things happen when the British e-machine specialist sets its sights on the record books. Hot off of showing what its motors can do inside a hunk of exotic Mercedes super-hardware, it's teasing how its next generation of motors will redefine expectations all over again. One of its prototype motors smashed the unofficial power density world record, pulling supercar levels of output from a flat, 29-pound (13.1-kg) disc package.
