As NASA gears up to send four astronauts on a crewed flight around the moon in the imminent Artemis II mission, Axiom Space is carefully preparing its AxEMU spacesuit for the highly anticipated endeavor that will follow. Artemis III, which NASA is targeting for no earlier than 2027, will land astronauts on the lunar surface for the first time since 1972. Axiom Space has been tasked by NASA to build the next-generation spacesuit that will allow the two as-yet-unnamed astronauts to safely walk on the surface of Earth’s natural satellite.

There’s an unsaid rule about giving people some context before adding them to a WhatsApp group, especially if it’s a large group with active members. Until now, you had to do that task manually, acting like a chatbot and summarizing everything in your own words, or by sharing screenshots. However, an upcoming WhatsApp update could help you with this. The Meta-owned messaging platform is testing a new feature called “group chat history sharing” (via a WABetaInfo report). As the name suggests, the feature lets a WhatsApp user (likely the admin) share the chat history (up to 100 messages sent within…

In what is one of the most important developments in the Chinese auto industry, Xiaomi’s SU7 has outsold Tesla’s Model 3 in 2025. The information comes from the China Passenger Car Association (via scmp.com). The Chinese smartphone maker delivered 258,164 units of its first EV. Meanwhile, Tesla sold only 200,361 Model 3s, marking the first time since Tesla’s Chinese launch that another brand has overtaken it in the world’s largest EV market. Xiaomi’s formula for success There are quite a few reasons behind this. First, Xiaomi has undercut the Model 3’s pricing by around 9% (CNY 235,500 vs. CNY 215,900…

This week on You Asked, we tackle some of the most common TV buying questions right now, from choosing between LG and Samsung’s latest OLEDs to which brands handle upscaling best. We also dig into whether Dolby Vision 2 is a reason to hold off on a new TV purchase, or if today’s high-end sets are already good enough.

It is rare to see a mobile game that actually surprises us with its control scheme anymore. Usually, we are stuck tapping glass, tilting the screen, or maybe folding the device if you have the budget for it. But a new web-based experiment called Charchery has thrown all of that out the window. It turns your physical charging cable into the controller. The concept is as simple as it is destructive: you plug your charger into the phone to nock an arrow, and you physically yank it out to fire. It is undeniably clever, bizarre, and almost certainly a terrible…

It is becoming increasingly clear that the mundane habits of our daily lives – like sending a quick voice note to a friend – might soon hold the key to understanding our mental health. According to fascinating new research published on January 21, 2026, in PLOS Mental Health, a new medical AI model has proven it can detect major depressive disorder with startling accuracy, just by listening to short WhatsApp audio recordings. The study, led by researchers in Brazil including Victor H. O. Otani from the Santa Casa de São Paulo School of Medical Sciences, found that their AI could…

The transition to electric vehicles has always had one major stumbling block for car enthusiasts: the sound. Or rather, the lack of it. For decades, the soul of a performance car has been tied to the noise it makes—the intake gasp, the exhaust crackle, the mechanical symphony of pistons and valves. Now, as BMW prepares to launch its first-ever fully electric M3, the company is tackling this problem head-on, and their solution is surprisingly old-school. Instead of trying to invent a new “sound of the future” filled with abstract spaceship hums and digital warbles, BMW’s Motorsport division is digging into…
