French startup Kilow showed a prototype off-road electric car La Bagnole.

The car weighs only 283 kg, has a rear-wheel drive, a steel chassis and a double wishbone suspension, and it takes no more than a couple of hours to fully charge it from a conventional outlet. The creators themselves position the car as a toy for adults - it even comes in a stylized box. In Europe, you can drive an electric car in the basic configuration without a license, since the maximum speed does not exceed 45 km/h. For a more powerful version that develops 80 km / h, rights are already needed. In the first case, the power reserve is up to 70 km, in the second - up to 140 km. The guys plan to start selling in early 2023. Price - from 9990 euros.

An edible drone has been created in Switzerland as part of the RoboFood program.

The device, consisting of rice wafers, is designed to be sent one way to people in difficult situations. So at least they can eat.

Caviar presented a series of devices that can withstand an automatic bullet.

They can also withstand a hacker attack and a "tactical strike" blast wave. The flagship of the Security series is the hardened titanium Sarcophagus, which can withstand a direct hit from a 7.62 caliber bullet and the blast from a "tactical strike". For those who are more afraid of hackers, they released a Faraday Lockbox capsule that extinguishes any electrical charge, protecting it from any signals, as well as a Faraday Shield case with the same properties, but in a case format.

The NASCAR driver used a trick from the game to advance to the next stage of the competition.

Many gamers are familiar with this trick from the NFS series and other arcade racing games - it was they who successfully used the real-life NASCAR driver Ross Chastain on the last lap - at full speed drove the turn, resting sideways on the fences. This allowed him to go from 10th position to 5th, securing a place in the new stage of the championship. Moreover, Chastain set the fastest lap time by 2.5 seconds.

The super-heavy Falcon Heavy rocket made its first flight in three years.

SpaceX has launched the Falcon Heavy for the first time in three years as part of the USSF-44 mission for the US Space Force. At least two satellites have been put into geostationary orbit. The side boosters landed after launch, and the central unit did not return to land in a controlled manner this time.

A sugar beet farmer found a 2,500-year-old golden belt in his crop.

He immediately took the artifact to specialists, and they determined that the find used to be part of a leather belt. On first examination, the scientists assumed that the thin gold leaf was an ancient tiara, but upon re-analysis, they realized that it was too oblong to rest on anyone's head. The length of the artifact is 49 centimeters, and the width is nine. It weighs 56.5 grams. The share of gold in it is 84%. The alloy from which the belt is made also includes silver, copper and other trace elements.

In the United States presented the concept of the tank of the future.

In the United States, the concept of the AbramsX tank of the future with artificial intelligence was presented. The most important novelty of the tank of the future is the unmanned turret. It has an automatic loading system. This made it possible to reduce the tank crew from four to three people, placing them in the tank hull. The tank is equipped with a distributed aperture camera system (DAS), which allows the crew to have a 360-degree view. AbramsX weighs 60 tons. According to the creators, the tank has AI systems for detecting enemies. So far, this is a concept, so serial samples can be drastically different.

According to the Chinese press, TSMC is building a 1nm chip manufacturing facility.

To understand the scale, 1 nm is a billionth of a meter. The size of a single red blood cell in our blood is 7,000 nanometers. And the thickness of a human hair is from 50 to 100 thousand nanometers.

Today, November 1, the potentially dangerous asteroid RM4 will approach the Earth.

Its size is about 500 meters, and it moves at a speed of 68 times the speed of sound. Fortunately, the probability of a collision by scientists is estimated as zero.

Breath analyzers are a thing of the past.

Drunk driving will now be determined by neural networks. In Vietnam, they trained an algorithm that identifies drunk people with 93% accuracy. All you need is a camera in the infrared range.

The longest train in the world.

In Switzerland, the longest train in the world passed - it consists of 100 cars with a total length of 1910 meters. The previous record was set in 1991, when the length of the train was 1732 meters. He will travel through the Alps - along one of the most picturesque routes.

XPeng showed the "correct" flying car.

At the Tech Day event in Guangzhou, the Chinese company XPeng showcased a new version of its Aeroht flying electric car. The prototype successfully survived its first flight and passed several engine failure tests. A car capable of both driving on roads and taking off into the air. No technical specifications have yet been disclosed, as well as plans for the timing of release and the estimated cost of the commercial version.

A current of a million volts was passed through the Nokia 3310.

The result is quite expected, this nutcracker just continued to work. Our descendants will consider this phone a powerful artifact.

China launched the last module of the Tiangong orbital station into space.

The Long March-5B carrier rocket successfully launched the Mentian laboratory module into space, which became the third module of the Chinese orbital station. This is the last module of the basic configuration of the station, it can be expanded in the future.

Traces of an ancient coastline have been found on Mars.

Scientists from the University of Pennsylvania have found traces of a coastline on Mars that are about 3.5 billion years old. This proves that there used to be an ocean on the planet. Its outlines were revealed thanks to topographic maps. On Mars, it was possible to see more than 6500 km of ridges that form 20 systems. These are the deltas of the former Martian rivers and underwater channels - the remnants of the coastline. The data that scientists have received shows that once the ocean level rose on Mars, which means there was a warm and humid climate.

The designer came up with a strange folding origami mouse

Hong Kong designer Horace Lam has designed an unusual origami mouse that can be folded flat. The Air.0 weighs 40 grams and is 4.5 to 10 mm thick when unfolded. Air.0 is equipped with two standard mechanical keys and a touchpad between them, replacing the scroll wheel. The mouse is covered with waterproof artificial leather, on the lower faces there are plastic pads that provide sliding on surfaces. The mouse is wireless and is equipped with a 500 mAh battery, which should be enough for 3 months of work. Air.0 plans to sell for $69

Ornocopter

Engineers from Beihang University in China launched an ornocopter into the air. Ornocopter, a drone that flies by flapping its wings, has set a world record among analogues for the duration of the flight. The span of the mechanical wings of this exhibit is 2 meters, and the maximum speed is 36 km/h. It weighs 1.6 kilograms. The mechanical bird stayed in the air for 1 hour 31 minutes and 4.98 seconds. For comparison: the flight time of analogues did not exceed 30 minutes. Project manager Zhzhao Longfei believes that this type of drone will be useful for exploring Mars. In addition, it can be used to simulate innovative aircraft and scare away birds near airports.

TV set with a postage stamp.

Created a postage stamp-sized TV that works like a full-sized device. While all gadgets are only getting bigger, TinyCircuits decided to make a difference and create the smallest TV in the world. TinyTV Mini is the size of a postage stamp. It plays video for 1 hour. It has 2 audio and video control wheels and a tiny remote control.

Italian farmers attached two pairs of wheels to the tractor, which raise it higher.

The iPhone 15 Pro may come out without mechanical buttons at all.

Well-known insider Ming-Chi Kuo said that Apple plans to ditch the volume and lock buttons. Instead, there will be tactile buttons with vibration from the Taptic Engine, which will simulate the feeling of pressing. This assumption is based on Apple's increased interest in Taptic Engine suppliers.
