The Japanese companies will test the G1 robot and Walker E robot from Chinese companies Unitree Robotics and UBTECH Robotics, according to The Asia Business Daily. Humanoid robots still typically cost tens of thousands of dollars per unit despite Chinese robotics manufacturers scaling up mass production, although the Unitree G1 robot costs as low as $13,500 for the baseline model. A new video from an apparently staged demonstration in an aircraft hangar shows one of the humanoid robots tottering up to a large, metal cargo container and making a vague pushing gesture. But the cargo container only begins to move…
Drilling has begun at Pe’ Sla, a sacred site in South Dakota, following the U.S. Forest Service’s decision to permit exploratory sites — despite the land falling under federal protection. Authorizing mining activity in this sacred place is a direct attack on protected Indigenous lands and the fundamental right to religious freedom. It also threatens ecosystems and waterways, and could cause permanent environmental degradation.At least two drill pads are now operating on tribal lands within the 2-mile (3.2 kilometers) buffer zone promised to be protected by the Forest Service and tribes. This should ring alarm bells everywhere, because it means…
It’s been a slow couple of months for Arc Raiders. New content has slowed to a trickle while player complaints keep piling up. That should all hopefully change with Riven Tides, the extraction shooter’s biggest update ever. It goes live on April 28. Here’s what it includes. The main additions are a new map and a hulking new Arc Turbine enemy that floats in the sky. The map is set along a coastline and includes a resort and a dockyard to scavenge through. Tennis courts and lavish ballrooms lie abandoned and dilapidated as seagulls circle overhead. The collision of breezy vacationing…
“If there’s somebody harassing them with a drone, then I think there’s other ways that can be dealt with,” he said. The FAA advisory is also potentially problematic because it still creates a “chilling effect to dissuade people from taking photos and videos, particularly of immigration enforcement agents, from the air,” said Sophia Cope, a senior staff attorney at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Like the earlier notice, the new advisory warns that federal agents can seize, damage, or destroy drones “deemed to pose a credible safety or security threat to covered mobile assets.” Kaleidoscope of Love performance art captured by…

Birds have spread their wings the world over, but they first took flight at least 150 million years ago, during the dinosaur age.In his new book “The Story of Birds: A New History from Their Dinosaur Origins to the Present” (Mariner Books, 2026), Steve Brusatte, who is a paleontologist at the University of Edinburgh in Scotland, takes readers on a wild ride from the oldest known bird, Archaeopteryx from Jurassic Germany, through the eras, explaining how two-legged theropod dinosaurs evolved into the more than 10,000 species of birds alive today.Around 66 million years ago, some of these small, winged creatures…
The uproar is over a Kimmel joke during a skit in which he pretended to deliver a roast at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner. “Our first lady, Melania, is here… So beautiful, Mrs. Trump, you have a glow like an expectant widow,” Kimmel said. Kimmel also suggested in his pretend roast that Trump and his wife were introduced to each other by Jeffrey Epstein.

Over the weekend, several reports started popping up online about a newly implemented DRM (Digital Rights Management) system on PlayStation 5 and PlayStation 4 consoles. According to those who have been testing the DRM tech over the past few days, those who are running the latest PS4 and PS5 firmware updates now have to connect their systems to the internet every 30 days to verify the licenses for their latest digital purchases. Kotaku covered this story on April 25, and back then, people were understandably upset. However, in the past three days, the story has developed somewhat, though Sony still…
Deadly threat These bacteria have a large arsenal of molecular munitions, including various toxins, that all help the bacteria hijack cells, siphon nutrients, degrade structural proteins, break down tissue linings, make blood vessels leaky, fuel destructive inflammation, suppress immune defenses, and generally lay waste to their victims. The overall mortality rate of V. vulnificus infections is about 35 percent. But for anyone infected who also has an immunocompromising condition or a liver condition, mortality reaches 50–60 percent. Likewise, for those who develop sepsis—a life-threatening reaction to an infection—mortality is also about 50 percent. For patients like the man in this…
An extreme drought that has gripped the Southeast for months helped fuel two large, destructive, human-caused wildland fires in southern Georgia in April 2026. The Pineland Road and Highway 82 fires together burned more than 50,000 acres (20,000 hectares) as of April 28, according to the Georgia Forestry Commission. Satellite images of the fires captured by Landsat 8 show charred forests and residential areas in and around Atkinson (above) and Fruitland (below). The images are false color (bands 7-5-4), in which burned areas appear gray and vegetated areas green. The infrared signatures of actively burning fire fronts are orange. By…
