Their search for Earth’s lost spices just crash-landed them into a world of trouble! đŸ’„ When the six-member crew of the Serrano wrecks their ship, Kent, C-LA, Ada, Eloy, Mod, and Nexus must race against time and some mysterious planet inhabitants to repair it and escape before becoming the main course.

Get a taste of the adventure in this trailer for Steamroller Animation’s first ever pilot episode, Spice Frontier: Escape from Veltegar.

The full “Spice Frontier: Escape from Veltegar” pilot episode is dropping on May 21, 2025.

For all of us at Steamroller Animation, the creation of independent animation projects like “Spice Frontier: Escape from Veltegar” is not merely a side quest; it’s the very lifeblood that fuels our creative spirit and drives innovation.

These projects serve as vital proving grounds, allowing our talented artists, creatives and technicians the freedom to experiment with new styles, push storytelling boundaries, and hone their skills without the constraints of external mandates.

By investing in our own intellectual property, we cultivate a culture of ownership and passion, fostering an environment where groundbreaking ideas can flourish and ultimately elevate the quality and originality we bring to all our animation work, including client-based productions.

NVIDIA CEO Jensen Huang discusses the concept of AI factories—systems that transform electricity into computational intelligence—and explains how AI represents an industrial revolution that will transform every industry, create new jobs in tech and trades, and enable advanced manufacturing through digital twins and physical AI.

Lei et al. show that HLS1 negatively regulates plant senescence and the ABS3-mediated senescence pathway by interacting with ATG8 and attenuating the ABS3-ATG8 interaction and the ability of ABS3 to promote senescence. Their study provides insights into the functional link between HLS1, ABS3, and ATG8 in plant senescence regulation.

Since the beginning of time, man has been interested in what happens after death.

Although there are numerous traditional answers to this question, it’s possible that scholars have added countless more ideas merely to provide some variation.

According to Robert Lanza, M.D., death is just a doorway to an endless number of universes. Furthermore, according to Lanza, everything that may possibly happen in our lifetime has already happened. He continues by saying that death does not exist in these situations because all of these possibilities are happening at the same time. We only connect our consciousness to our physical bodies because of the energy that flows through our brains.

Construction of what would be the world’s longest suspension bridge is scheduled to begin this year, according to the Italian government.

The bridge between the island of Sicily and the Italian mainland would cross over the Strait of Messina, a distance of 3,300 meters, though the construction has to grapple with tectonic activity that could cause earthquakes.
