Can bamboo be any better or stronger than industrial steel and even titanium alloy? Yes, according to a research team in Hong Kong. They’ve created a "super bamboo" material: engineered at the microscopic level to develop an ultra-dense structure. The result? Dramatically improved strength and toughness, they sat.
This super bamboo could one day show up in high-end furniture, or even aerospace applications.

SpaceX officially went public on June 9, becoming the biggest IPO by market cap. Elon Musk has also become the first trillionaire in human history. Meanwhile, driven by inflation and market optimism, the U.S. stock market is flashing 70% bear-market signals, raising fears that the tech sector could face another 2000-style dot-com bubble.
"The 'most powerful public AI models' Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5 launched on June 9. Just 3 days later, Trump’s government blocked them via export restrictions: banned for non-US citizens as the models are 'too powerful’. Anthropic can’t immediately verify all qualified users under the restriction, so they have to pull the models temporarily. Some say it’s retaliation to the Anthropic for their refusing to militarize AI before.

#youropinion The UK government recently announced plans to ban children under 16 from using social media, including features like livestreaming and chatting with strangers. They also want to set the minimum age for AI emotional chatbots at 18.
The move has sparked a debate: critics say it violates citizens’ freedom of media access, while many parents support it, arguing it helps protect their children from online risks, harmful temptations, and negative value influence.
From Sophia, the first robot citizen launched 9 years ago, to AheadForm's latest emotional interaction robot Origin F1, their lifelike facial expressions are showing us a different future for humanoid robots. Probably in the near future, robot caregivers, nannies, and "waifus" in animation could become a reality.
Tired of your devices dying after just a few hours? China's new carbon-silicon batteries is going to replace lithium-ion and spark a phone battery revolution with significantly more energy storage. However, this breakthrough comes with serious supply chain and transportation safety challenges.
Agentic AI OpenClaw triggered a nationwide hype wave in China earlier this year. But just months later, it virtually disappeared from media’s headlines. Once the excitement faded, people started raising serious concerns about data privacy and cybersecurity risks behind. Did anyone say OpenClaw was bound to become the next DeepSeek?
#didyouknow In China, anthropomorphic AI pet videos are becoming a hot new trend in AI filmmaking. The creators typically own pets themselves. They feed their daily footage like interactions and routines, into AI models for training, then design humanized scenarios: pets working jobs in Zootopia, cooking meals, or performing short skits. Starting from everyday moments, these clips deliver a fresh experience of animals behaving like humans.
As discussed in our latest video, unique personal experiences and creative storytelling are keys for standout creators in a competitive filmmaking era when AI makes it possible for anyone to produce movies.
