07.01.2026
Eureka III

A California company built a seabed mining drone that hovers above the ocean floor instead of crawling it, picking up battery metals one nodule at a time with 16 arms, and leaving nearly a third behind on purpose, the ones with living things attached

07.01.2026
Copenhagen Atomics thorium reactor module

A Danish company is building a thorium reactor that fits in a shipping container and runs on the nuclear waste other reactors leave behind, turning material that needs storing for 100,000 years into waste that lasts 300, and wants to build one a day like a car

07.01.2026
Pulsar Helium Minnesota

A gas well in northern Minnesota holds some of the richest helium-3 ever measured on Earth, rich enough to rival lunar soil, and two US federal labs ran the gas blind and landed on the same number, an isotope so rare a single liter costs more than a car
