The Troy of the Iliad and Odyssey isn't lost to time—its ruins can still be visited today. While the site on the northwestern tip of Türkiye actually bears the remains of nine different cities that rose and fell over the ages, two are believed to be connected with Homer's epic. Here, visitors can discover well‑preserved Late Bronze Age ruins exactly as they were found, and visit the nearby museum, complete with a replica horse.

NASA is helping shape the future of air taxis by studying what makes passengers feel comfortable in flight.

At NASA Armstrong, volunteers experienced virtual “rough rides” so researchers could see how sudden tilts, shifts, and rotations feel from a passenger’s perspective.

Their feedback is guiding new air taxi models that link aircraft motion to comfort and willingness to fly, supporting safer, smoother designs for tomorrow’s air mobility.

It took nearly a year of burnt components and crashed test flights. But Canadian engineer John Tse finally built a quadcopter into the canopy of an umbrella.

He wired a Raspberry Pi to a depth camera. The lens locks onto his head and the drone moves exactly where he walks. The umbrella is terrible in heavy wind. The battery life is short. The exposed propellers are a massive safety hazard if it loses signal. It is entirely impractical. But he never has to hold an umbrella again.

Scientists in China have developed experimental contact lenses that let people see near-infrared light, which is normally invisible to the human eye. The technology could one day provide a lightweight alternative to bulky night-vision goggles.

The soft lenses contain tiny nanoparticles that convert near-infrared light into visible light. They work without batteries or built-in electronics.

In laboratory tests, mice and human volunteers could detect flashing near-infrared light while wearing the lenses. Researchers also found the effect was stronger with eyes closed because near-infrared light passes through eyelids more easily than visible light.

The technology is still in the experimental stage and has important limits. The lenses cannot see in complete darkness, detect body heat like thermal cameras, or replace traditional night-vision devices. They only work with near-infrared light sources under controlled conditions.

Researchers believe the lenses could eventually be used for search and rescue, medical imaging, secure communications, and helping people with some types of color vision deficiency. More testing is needed before they are available to the public.

The research was published in the peer-reviewed journal Cell.
