This is a timelapse of a 3D printer platform built by Youtuber multipoleguy that adds an additional two axes (not golden though) to a typical 3-axis printer’s movement, allowing prints “with up to a 70º overhang in all directions, reducing the need for support structures.” That’s something.

Developed by Shinichi Furuya and associates at the Sony Computer Science Laboratories in Tokyo, this exoskeletal hand was originally designed to help train the muscles of those with limited use of their digits. Well now they’ve discovered it can also help take accomplished pianists to the next level. Heck yeah,

This is a video of pet octopus Marty (who I believe is an Octopus bimaculatus, aka Verrill’s two-spot octopus) opening a closed jar just moments after being exposed to one for the first time. That’s impressive. How we knew to turn it is beyond me, and certainly beyond my roommate,

Note: SOUND ON. This is a clip of Instagram user vilalaseroficial using a powerful burning laser to clean the oxidation and tarnish off an old pendant crucifix. I saw Jesus move! The sounds it makes are equally miraculous. Per a commenter, “that’s the sound of the laser vaporizing a thin
