1. One thing that helps
UK scientists just cracked a 70-year problem: how to generate unlimited electricity from seawater with zero emissions and no radioactive waste. It's called fusion power – the same process that makes the sun shine. The catch? You need to contain plasma at 100 million degrees Celsius (hotter than the sun's core) without melting everything around it.
The U.K. Atomic Energy Authority successfully used magnets to hold that plasma in place using magnetic fields, like an invisible bottle that never touches the super-heated fuel. They're stable, they're proven, and they're ready for commercial power plants.
Your kids might plug into power plants that run on seawater instead of coal, gas, or uranium. And it's not 30 years away anymore – it's happening now.
2. One to be wary of
Your boss just called. Except it wasn't your boss.
A Hong Kong finance worker approved a $25 million transfer after a video call with his CFO and colleagues. Everyone looked right, sounded right. Except every single person was an AI-generated deepfake.
Scammers are now using your and your colleagues’ digital footprint to clone your voices and faces. They use it for real-time video calls that are nearly impossible to detect. The sense of urgency in these calls might pressure you to transfer money right away. But wait, take a moment to verify the request!
How do you protect yourself? Establish a family "safe word" for emergencies. Never approve financial transactions based solely on video calls. And if your CEO calls for an urgent wire transfer? Hang up on them (awkward, but less awkward than losing $25 million) and then call them back on their known number to verify.
3. One to amaze
It parks like a car, flies like a plane, and laughs at traffic jams. It’s the AirCar!
After 30 years of development, Slovakia's Klein Vision is delivering actual flying cars in early 2026. Not sci-fi concepts. Not prototypes. Real, certified, you-can-buy-one flying cars.
Push a button and the wings unfold, the tail extends, and your steering wheel becomes a flight yoke. It can reach speeds of up to 200 km/h on the road and cruise at 249 km/h in the air. You can fill it up at any gas station and fly up to 1,000 kilometres on a single tank.
In car mode, the AirCar is more or less similar in dimensions to a Mercedes S-Class. So after a day of adventure on both land and sky, you can quietly park it in your garage.
And if that’s not enough adventure, they're working on an amphibious version too!
