In a game-changing move, Toyota has introduced a hydrogen-powered engine that emits only water v***r — a clean alternative that challenges the dominance of battery-electric vehicles (EVs).

Unlike traditional EVs, this engine runs on hydrogen created through electrolysis, eliminating the need for lithium, rare earth minerals, and large-scale charging infrastructure. It’s a leap toward sustainable mobility that could redefine the future of clean transportation.

With this innovation, Toyota isn’t just joining the EV race — it’s rewriting the rules.

Chinese Surgeon Performs World’s First Transcontinental Telesurgery

In a groundbreaking medical milestone, Dr. Zhang Xu successfully performed cancer surgery on a patient in Beijing—while operating remotely from Rome. Using a 5G-powered surgical robot, the procedure achieved near-instant responsiveness, with just a 135-millisecond delay.

Conducted live during a global medical conference, the operation marks the world’s first transcontinental telesurgery, showcasing the transformative potential of real-time, cross-border medical care.

This success demonstrates a future where distance is no longer a barrier in life-saving procedures.

In 2020, Two Men Made an “Earth Sandwich” — Literally

In a playful feat of global coordination, two men—one in New Zealand and the other in Spain—created what they dubbed an “Earth Sandwich.” Using precise latitude and longitude coordinates, they each placed a slice of bread at exactly opposite points on the globe at the same time.

With 12,724 kilometers of Earth between them, the stunt turned the planet itself into the ultimate sandwich—equal parts humor and geographic precision.🤣

Philippine Scientists Turn Volcanic Ash Into Radiation Shield

In a groundbreaking study, researchers from Ateneo de Manila University and the National University–Mall of Asia Campus have developed a sustainable radiation shielding material using ash from the Taal Volcano.

The ash’s naturally high iron content enables it to absorb harmful X-rays and gamma rays, making it an effective, low-cost alternative to traditional shielding materials like concrete and lead. The resulting geopolymer mortar is not only lighter and more eco-friendly, but also leverages an abundant local resource often seen as disaster waste.

This innovation offers a scalable solution for use in hospitals, nuclear facilities, and industrial settings—transforming volcanic byproducts into tools for public safety and environmental resilience.

In a market long dominated by hybrid technology and cautious about the transition to full electrification, one Japanese startup is making headlines with an unorthodox approach.

KG Motors, a Tokyo-based EV startup, has unveiled the “mibot”, a compact, single-seat electric vehicle priced at just $7,000. Despite Japan’s relatively slow EV adoption rate compared to global trends, the company has already secured 3,300 pre-orders, with deliveries scheduled for March 2027. Remarkably, this figure surpasses the total number of EVs sold by Toyota in Japan throughout 2024 — a notable milestone in the country’s automotive landscape.

Designed for Urban Realities
The mibot was created with Japan’s urban infrastructure in mind. With increasingly congested cities and narrow streets, the demand for compact, efficient vehicles is growing. The mibot offers:

A 62-mile range suitable for daily commutes

A top speed of 37 mph, ideal for city driving

Air conditioning and a small trunk, meeting essential urban needs

A five-hour charge time via a standard household outlet — eliminating the need for special charging infrastructure

Its minimalistic design and focus on cost-efficiency have positioned it as a practical alternative to both traditional gas-powered vehicles and more expensive electric options.

A New Category in Mobility
While EV pe*******on in Japan remains limited — due in part to infrastructure challenges and strong consumer preference for hybrids — KG Motors is tapping into an underserved niche: affordable, ultra-compact electric vehicles. The mibot addresses key barriers to entry for EV ownership: price, accessibility, and charging convenience.

The startup’s success also contrasts with trends in Western markets, where micro-EVs tend to be priced significantly higher and often cater to premium segments. KG Motors is showing that low-cost innovation and mass-market accessibility can coexist — particularly in cities where space is at a premium.

The Road Ahead
With deliveries not scheduled until 2027, much will depend on the company’s ability to scale production, meet safety and regulatory standards, and maintain cost efficiency. However, the early response suggests strong domestic demand for a new category of vehicle — one that bridges the gap between scooters and full-sized cars.

KG Motors may not be competing head-to-head with Japan’s automotive giants just yet, but it is clearly carving out a compelling position in the evolving landscape of urban mobility.
