Robot exoskeleton boosts Grand Canyon endurance, not a miracle

Robot exoskeleton boosts Grand Canyon endurance, not a miracle

A reviewer tests the Hypershell X Ultra S exoskeleton on a Grand Canyon hike, finding it extends endurance and reduces fatigue enough to finish a two‑mile rim hike and about 12,000 steps without using his cane, but it’s not a cure for disability or a superhero device. The app‑controlled, ~5‑pound unit uses a back‑mounted battery with motors at the hips, offers modes like Eco/Hyper/Transparent/Fitness, and claims ~30 km (18.6 miles) of range with a spare battery. Real‑world results vary by terrain and fitness, and the device is pricey (about $1,999 for the X Ultra S).

Verstappen's Nurburgring bid ends with driveshaft failure

Max Verstappen and his Mercedes-AMG GT3 teammates led the Nurburgring 24 Hours by about 30 seconds with 3 hours 20 minutes remaining, but a broken driveshaft forced them off the track, ending their chance at victory; the Mercedes crew of Engel/Stolz/Schiller/Martin won, while Verstappen said he would try to return next year and soon returns to Formula 1 for the Canadian Grand Prix.

Exercise rewires the brain to boost endurance after the workout

Exercise rewires the brain to boost endurance after the workout

New Neuron-based research shows SF1 neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus stay active after exercise and are needed for endurance gains; blocking these neurons post-workout prevents improvements, suggesting brain activity after exercise helps the body adapt and use energy more efficiently—potential implications for aging, stroke recovery, and athletic performance.

Verstappen’s Mercedes Edges Ahead as Nurburgring 24 Hours Near Nine Hours

Max Verstappen, steering the Verstappen Racing Mercedes-AMG GT3, has put his team in contention for its debut Nurburgring 24 Hours win by taking a narrow lead in mixed conditions after almost nine hours. The #3 Mercedes sits about one second clear of the sister #80 AMG (Martin/Engel/Schiller/Stolz), with a tight fight behind including a Walkenhorst Aston Martin (Thiim) in third, Jens Klingmann’s Schubert BMW in fourth, and Max Hesse’s Rowe BMW rounding out the top five. Early incidents included Mirko Bortolotti’s Lamborghini puncture and Marco Mapelli’s 32-second penalty for a jump start, while Verstappen capitalized on clean laps and traffic management to extend his advantage into the night.

Canyon Endurace CF SLX 8 Di2: fast, forgiving endurance road bike at a compelling price

An aero-forward endurance road bike that doesn’t compromise comfort, the Canyon Endurace CF SLX 8 Di2 blends fast handling with long-distance compliance thanks to features like 38mm tyre clearance, a 1-piece PACE cockpit, and the VCLS aero post. At £4,299 / €4,499 it undercuts rivals while including Ultegra Di2, carbon wheels and a single-sided 4iiii power meter, plus practical down-tube storage. It’s fast, stable and forgiving on rough roads and descents, with Canyon’s build quality and customer support earning high marks; a minor Garmin insert issue was promptly resolved. A standout value for a modern aero endurance bike.

Endurance nears lunar readiness as Blue Origin advances moon lander tests

Blue Origin’s uncrewed lunar lander Endurance MK1 is moving toward a lunar mission with a busy test campaign across NASA centers and the company’s Florida facilities, including vacuum chamber testing at Johnson Space Center and radio-frequency compatibility checks at Lunar Plant 1, all in support of Artemis 3 (targeted for late 2027) which could use Blue Moon or SpaceX’s Starship for the landing; meanwhile Blue Origin’s New Glenn remains grounded while FAA investigates a separate second-stage issue.

Seven-car crash claims life during Nürburgring 24h Qualifiers

Juha Miettinen died from injuries after a seven-car crash in the early stages of the ADAC 24h Nürburgring Qualifiers. The incident caused a lengthy red flag, barrier damage, and the race was halted with no resumption or classification. The crash occurred on the third lap near Klostertal, with seven vehicles involved; the cause remains unconfirmed, though a possible oil spill has been mentioned. Messages of condolence came from peers, including Max Verstappen.

Brain’s Endurance Coach: VMH SF1 Neurons Encode Exercise Memory

A UT Southwestern study shows SF1-producing neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus encode a memory of exercise that programs and boosts endurance and metabolic benefits. Blocking these neurons prevents endurance gains, while stimulating them after training pushes past typical plateaus, suggesting the brain acts as a central mediator in exercise adaptation and offering potential therapies to simulate exercise for those with limited mobility.

Endurance Myth Revisited: New Study Reveals Structural Flaws in Shackleton's Polar Ship

Aalto University researchers combined engineering analysis with Shackleton’s diaries and letters to argue that Endurance suffered from multiple structural weaknesses, not just a flawed rudder, and was not designed for the compressive pack ice it faced; Shackleton reportedly knew of the ship’s vulnerabilities before departure, complicating the legend of the strongest polar vessel and offering a more nuanced view of the expedition without diminishing the crew's achievements.

Brain Afterburn: Exercise Rewires a Key Hypothalamic Circuit to Boost Endurance

A Neuron study in mice shows that endurance gains from repeated workouts rely on brain changes after exercise, specifically SF1 neurons in the ventromedial hypothalamus that stay active for at least an hour post-exercise; training enhances SF1 activity and the number of activated neurons, and blocking these neurons or silencing them after exercise abolishes endurance gains, indicating post-exercise brain activity is crucial for long-term adaptation and could inform strategies to help aging or mobility-impaired individuals stay active.
