Following a concept world premiere in 2022 and a track demo at Le Mans a couple months ago, the Alpine Alpenglow is back, this time serving as a spectacular highlight of the 2024 Paris Motor Show. Alpine has equipped the latest Alpenglow with an all-new “Hy6” twin-turbo V6 engine developed from the ground up to run on hydrogen. The Hy6 doubles the power of the last Alpenglow so the new car not only looks like an extreme track-only supercar, it performs and sounds like one, too.

Alpine originally revealed the Alpenglow at the 2022 Paris Motor Show as a blueprint for its more sustainable sporting future. The concept appeared loosely derived from the extreme styling of the student-crafted A4810 Alpine had shown earlier that year, and came to Paris with the promise of a hydrogen-engine-based drive system of undisclosed size and layout.

The concept continued along as a stunning but mysterious piece of event jewelry right up until this past May, when Alpine officially turned concept car into “rolling laboratory” for a dynamic track debut at the 6 Hours of Spa-Francorchamps and, a month later, Le Mans. Ahead of those demonstration runs, the French automaker finally threw some tender red meat to the starved gearhead masses, confirming a 340-hp 2.0-liter turbo-four hydrogen combustion engine powering the wheels.

I’ve highlighted the top three technologies that I believe will dominate and reshape the e-commerce industry in 2025.

Would you be comfortable having Optimus in your home? Share your thoughts in the comments.

At Tesla’s We, Robot Cybercab event, Elon Musk unveiled a surprising appearance by Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus. A group of these robots walked alongside the reveal of the new Robovan. Optimus bots were shown in a video performing daily tasks such as delivering packages and watering plants, with Musk emphasizing that these robots could soon do nearly anything—from walking your dog to babysitting kids. With a long-term price between $20,000 to $30,000, Musk claims that Optimus could be Tesla’s biggest product yet, eventually transforming civilization.

Watch as the Honey Badger legged robot from MAB Robotics demonstrates its underwater locomotion capabilities. Designed for extreme environments, this innovative robot showcases robust movement across submerged terrain, pushing the boundaries of legged robotics. Perfect for inspection and maintenance in flooded or challenging areas, the Honey Badger is a leap forward in autonomous robotics.

A quantum degeneracy named after a Chinese yo-yo boosts the magnetization lifetime of a short chain of magnetic iron atoms by a factor of 1000.

Theorists have developed a model to explain how a protein structure keeps its position while being buffeted by currents.

Overlapping two 3D lattices with a relative twist opens the door to synthesizing crystals with diverse symmetries that showcase nontrivial band structures and novel properties.

When two identical periodic lattices overlap in space, with one twisted at an angle relative to the other, they form moiré lattices. The best-known examples are formed from stacked and rotated 2D sheets. These structures can possess fascinating properties not seen in their component layers. Twisted bilayer graphene, for example, can exhibit superconductor and Mott insulator behavior [1, 2]. Ce Wang of Tongji University in China and his colleagues now propose how to construct a 3D moiré lattice using two cubic optical lattices hosting ultracold atoms [3]. The researchers mathematically describe how two simple periodic structures, twisted relative to each other, can lead to 3D optical moiré patterns (Fig. 1). The result is a crystal-like structure with emergent properties that differ from those of the underlying simple lattices.

Far beneath the lush landscape of southern China, a sprawling subterranean laboratory aims to be the world’s first to crack a deep scientific enigma.

Inaction on the water crisis could put more than half of the world’s food production at risk by 2050, experts warned in a major report published Thursday.
