How are frontal airbags shrunk down so that they fit in your steering wheel? It's actually a complex combination of human skill and machine precision. #frontalairbags #packed #steeringwheels
Meet the swimming pool where you can breathe underwater. The pool is actually an art installation by Argentinian artist Leandro Ehlich. It uses a layer of water to separate two breathable spaces and create its illusion. #swimmingpool #breatheunderwater #artinstallation
Zuckerberg took to Instagram on Tuesday to share his thoughts on the Vision Pro, which he tried out for himself. He compared it to Meta’s Quest 3, the latest version of the popular standalone VR headset. He filmed the video using the Quest 3’s video passthrough feature, which lets users see the real world in color through the headset’s cameras. #zuckerberg#instagram#tuesday#visionpro#meta #quest3#standalone#vr#headset#videopassthrough#realworld#color #cameras

Modern farming depends on technology to speed up harvests and maximize yield. This machine makes fast work of grain harvesting. The use of technology should lead to surplus produce - and a reduction in the price. #modernfarming#technology#speedupharvests
This product, made by Skyted, a company based in Toulouse, France, allows private conversations to be held confidentially. Inside this mask, resonators used to reduce the sound of aircraft engines are used. In this way, conversations at normal volume cannot be heard from outside. #skyted #toulouse #france #privateconversations
Airbus, a global leader in aviation innovation, is pioneering the path to sustainable air travel with its remarkable progress in hydrogen-powered flight. In a historic achievement in late 2023, Airbus successfully activated its first ZEROe engine fuel cell, delivering a powerful 1.2 megawatts of clean energy. This breakthrough marks a significant milestone on Airbus's mission to introduce a hydrogen-propelled commercial aircraft by 2035. #Airbus #HydrogenPower #SustainableTravel
Ukraine is stepping up its energy game in a big way. They're planning to build not one, but four new nuclear reactors this year. That's right, four! The action kicks off in Summer or Autumn. #nuclearpower #energyexpansion #cleanenergy
