Polk Audio, a company known for putting out quality performance audio equipment, recently announced a more general lifestyle audio product line called Polk Audio Designs. One of the first items to be released under this new brand is the MiDock10.

The Polk Audio MiDock10 is a portable iPod speaker system which comes in a black finish and measures 6”x 16”x4”. It can be powered by either eight C batteries or an included 12v power adapter. The MiDock 10 is capable of charging any dockable iPod which is slid into one of three included docking cradle adapters. It can also connect to a computer through the iPod’s USB cable so one can update their docked iPod’s content through iTunes.

As far as audio features go, the Polk Audio MiDock10 sports two 3.25-inch full range drivers which are vented through a side-firing flared port for better output and bass response. This portable iPod speaker system also has a built-in headphone jack so one can have more of a private audio experience as well as offering up an auxiliary input for connecting other music sources such as a portable CD player.

In addition to having portable power via the C batteries, the MiDock10 provides a few other portability features to make on-the-go enjoyment of your iPod possible. Stylish side handles on each end of the speaker system provide for a better grasp as you carry your financial investment around. An included credit-card sized remote control also provides you control of both the MiDock10 as well as your iPod.

More information on the Polk Audio MiDock10, which is priced at around $150 and available now, can be found at Polk Audio’s Web site.

This spinning drone hides in plain sight using a visual illusion
This drone doesn't turn invisible. It tricks your brain into thinking it has.
Phantom Twist

For decades, engineers have chased the dream of an invisible drone. The usual approaches have involved transparent materials, camouflage coatings, or complex optical systems that bend light around an object. Researchers at Northwestern University decided to take a completely different route. Instead of hiding the drone itself, they chose to fool the human eye.

The result is Phantom Twist, an experimental drone that spins so rapidly it almost disappears into the background. It's not technically invisible, but to anyone watching, it looks more like a faint blur than a flying machine.

For most of us, knitting brings to mind sweaters, scarves, and perhaps an ambitious grandmother determined to make winter more fashionable. Researchers at Harvard University, however, have a far more futuristic vision. They've transformed ordinary knitted fabric into a programmable material capable of changing shape, acting as an electrical switch, sensing movement, and potentially forming the foundation of tomorrow's wearable technology.

The research, published in Advanced Functional Materials by scientists at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS), demonstrates how machine-knitted textiles can "snap" between multiple stable shapes without relying on motors or rigid mechanical parts.

Starlink V5 is here, and it’s lighter, smarter, and far more efficient
The next-generation satellite internet kit promises improved efficiency while maintaining high-speed connectivity.
Starlink V4 vs V5

Not every hardware upgrade needs to be about speed. With Starlink V5, SpaceX is betting that a lighter design and lower power consumption matter just as much. The company has officially introduced its next-generation Starlink V5 kit, featuring a smaller and lighter design with significantly improved power efficiency.
