Six February science gems you almost missed, from smart underwear to brainy Doom

A six-story science roundup highlights Edison’s revived nickel‑iron battery for rapid recharge (but lower energy density), a star in Andromeda that collapsed directly into a black hole without a supernova, a snap-on ‘smart underwear’ sensor that tracks daily fart frequency, simulations explaining how Kuiper Belt contact binaries form, AI-assisted work proposing a possible ancient Roman board game called Ludos Coriovalli, and DishBrain’s neurons learning to play Doom with a Python-friendly interface.

Even Realities G2: Subtle, Lightweight AR Glasses Push Boundaries at CES 2026

At CES 2026, the Even Realities G2 smart glasses emerge as a refined upgrade over the G1, with 75% larger displays powered by Even HAO 2.0 optics for a brighter, steadier HUD inside near-normal prescription frames. They weigh about 36g, use a titanium-magnesium frame with a stronger stem, and offer a customizable Dashboard controlled by back-of-stem gestures or the new R1 ring. Key perks include real-time translation and improved note-taking gestures, while the Conversate feature showed issues on the showroom floor. Navigation uses a built-in geomagnetic sensor (not yet compatible with Google Maps) and health data is currently limited to the R1 ring. Priced at $599 with optional sunglasses clips and prescription options, the G2 positions itself as the most subtle—and capable—smart glasses available today.
