The new plane just announced the SR-72 would fly twice as fast—so fast that at top speed, the very air entering its engines will be moving as fast as an SR-71. Keeping combustion and thrust going under such conditions is like lighting a cigar in a hurricane. The SR-72’s planned ability to go from a standing start to Mach 6 and back again is a hat trick no one has been able to pull off. Mach 6 is 3,600 miles per hour.

In the beginning, there was Adam. We’re not talking about the supernatural alleged first human, but rather the first machine to fully automate the scientific process and make a discovery on its own. Adam looks nothing like a human. It resembles a big box about the size of an office cubicle. It’s equipped with robotic arms, incubators, a freezer, cameras, and other parts to help it do work. Everything it needs to conduct its research is there, including a brain.

California-based tech company Hyperion has unveiled the Hyperion XP-1, a hydrogen fuel cell-powered hypercar with an advertised 1,000-mile range and a top speed of 221 mph. It can launch from 0 to 60 mph in just 2.2 seconds.
