Axiom Space has teamed up again with @Prada to introduce the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG), the innermost layer within the #AxEMU spacesuit that is designed to protect astronauts from the elements when they explore the lunar surface for the first time in more than 50 years.
The LCVG collaboration draws on Prada's expertise in engineered knitting and innovative design concepts, resulting in a next-generation garment that maintains cooling and ventilation while enhancing comfort during up to eight-hour spacewalks.
Collaborating with industry pioneers like Prada allows us to combine our technical expertise with leaders across different sectors, fostering innovation and teamwork to deliver advanced technologies that will return America to the Moon.

Ahead of humanity’s return to the lunar surface, Axiom Space and Prada unveiled the Liquid Cooling and Ventilation Garment (LCVG) designed to be worn by astronauts inside the Axiom Extravehicular Mobility Unit (AxEMU) spacesuit.
The LCVG collaboration draws on Prada's expertise in design, patternmaking, and advanced materials, resulting in a next-generation garment developed through advanced 3D modeling techniques that maintain cooling and ventilation while enhancing comfort during up to eight-hour spacewalks.

My daughter was just screaming in her bedroom and I thought someone died.. or at least a big spider. But no, @NASA just dropped this banger trailer.
Kids are excited about space again 🚀
Grocery prices are rising faster than wages, so we’re launching 5 municipal grocery stores with lower prices.
But people can't benefit from resources they don't know about. We need expert branding for New York's city-owned grocery stores to properly serve New Yorkers.
Help spread the word: We're accepting design proposals at https://t.co/I2dfbUIpq5 until June 30, 2026 at 4:30 PM ET.
I am an indie dev working on an anatomy pose reference app for artists.
- Create custom poses
- Customize the lighting
- Switch between various anatomy models
Would you use this for drawing? It is call HAELE 3D - Pose Studio Max.
“I think when the creative person ends, he continues in the next existence. I’m a person who believes this life isn’t the be-all and end-all of everything. A spiritual person doesn’t feel like that.” –S.R. (2009) 2/2
Color has RGB. Sound has MP3. We just gave smell its own system.
Today, we’re announcing Sense1, the first model to map activation across all ~400 scent receptors simultaneously.
THIS GUY TURNED AN OLD SMARTWATCH INTO A DIGITAL SHIFT KNOB FOR HIS 2001 AUDI AND THEN MADE IT EVEN CRAZIER
instead of throwing away an old TicWatch, he 3D printed a custom housing and mounted it on his gear stick
he vibe coded a custom WearOS app that uses the watch's built in accelerometer and gyroscope to read the physical angle of the shift stick and display which gear you're in
the hardest part was driving on hills. going uphill would throw off the angle readings and show random gears. he had to build dynamic calibration into the algorithm so it could adjust in real time
his car is a 2001 audi B5. the old communication protocol is so limited for gear data that building his own accelerometer app was actually easier than pulling from the car's computer
then he went further
he vibe coded an invisible touch spotify controller into the same shift knob
swipe up on the knob to skip a track. swipe down to go back. tap to pause. all using the watch's touch screen while your hand is already on the shifter
no extra buttons, no phone mount, no looking away from the road. your hand is on the shift knob anyway so the controls are right where you need them
the watch also shows whatever is playing via bluetooth between gear changes
3D printed the enclosure, vibe coded the app, and turned e-waste into the coolest car mod on the internet
It's time for interfaces to break out of flat land.
Lately, I have been experimenting with spatial experiences supported by foundational gestures.
Truly feels magical.
i just generated an image in the style of a Monet painting using AI
please describe, in as much detail as possible, what makes this inferior to a real Monet painting
Okay folks, this qualifies as BREAKING NEWS!
Harold “Sonny” White, the warp drive pioneer behind NASA’s EagleWorks Lab, just stepped out of stealth with Casimir Inc. to unveil MicroSPARC: the first battery free chip to harvest continuous electrical power straight from the quantum vacuum via the Casimir force.
The 5 mm × 5 mm device uses millions of custom microscale Casimir cavities fabricated on a substrate. Inside each cavity, two fixed conductive walls create a region of negative vacuum pressure (the well known Casimir effect). Stationary micropillars anchored in the middle act as antennas. Electrons from the cavity walls then quantum tunnel to the pillars because the interior is a lower energy “quieter” zone — and the probability of tunneling back is orders of magnitude lower. This one way “quantum ratchet” flow generates a measurable DC current with no external power source or moving parts.
Prototypes already fabricated at university nanofab facilities (Texas A&M AggieFab, MIT.nano) have been tested in RF-shielded, low noise chambers for weeks. The team reports outputs ranging from millivolts to volts at picoamp to microamp levels using precision electrometers and Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy. Target performance for the first commercial chip: ~1.5 V at 25 µA (≈40 µW continuous). Stacking and scaling could reach milliwatts or even watts per device.
Initial applications are ultra low power: always on IoT sensors, wearables, and medical implants. Longer term roadmap includes trickle charging phones, powering small electronics, and eventually grid independent homes or EVs. Commercialization is targeted for 2028, starting at ~$100/W before dropping toward $10/W.
White ties the work directly to his earlier theoretical paper on emergent quantization from a dynamic vacuum and sees it as a practical power source for the deep-space missions he’s long championed.
Extraordinary claims require extraordinary evidence, and independent scientists have so far declined public comment. But if the engineering scales as hoped, MicroSPARC would represent a genuine paradigm shift: continuous, maintenance free power drawn from the fabric of spacetime itself.
A bold leap from warp-drive theory into real hardware. Progress (and vacuum-powered chips) marches on.
