You’re watching: 2025’s VOLONAUT AIRBIKE – The Jet-Powered Flying Bike That’s Actually Real!
Forget sci-fi… this is the future happening right now. The Volonaut Airbike isn’t just a concept or a CGI teaser — it’s a real, jet-powered flying bike that’s already tearing through the skies in 2025!
Unlike bulky drones with spinning blades, this beast lifts off with raw jet propulsion — no exposed rotors, no cockpit, and no nonsense. It’s built from carbon fiber and 3D-printed parts, making it ultra-light — 7x lighter than a motorcycle. The rider becomes part of the machine, steering it by body movement while a smart onboard flight computer keeps everything stable.
Created by Tomasz Patan, the genius behind Jetson ONE, the Volonaut Airbike is capable of reaching speeds up to 200 km/h (124 mph), soaring over forests, cliffs, and even deserts with mind-blowing agility.

Join cognitive scientist and AI researcher Joscha Bach in this exclusive interview on the limits, risks, and future of AI. From the potential of Artificial General Intelligence to the alignment problem and the fundamental ways AI learns differently from humans, Bach explores whether AI might one day grasp reality on a deeper level than we can. He also examines the systemic failures of institutions in tackling the climate crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, arguing that the internet’s potential for collective intelligence remains largely untapped. Might AI help us overcome these challenges, or does it merely reflect our own limitations?

PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC) told 1,500 U.S. employees on Monday that their roles were eliminated with immediate effect—about 2 percent of its national headcount. In the company-wide e-mail obtained by industry blog Going Concern, leadership cited “historically low attrition” and a need to “align the firm for the future.” Publicly, a spokesperson framed the move as a […]

An AI approach developed by researchers from the University of Sheffield and AstraZeneca, could make it easier to design proteins needed for new treatments.
In their study published in the journal Nature Machine Intelligence, Sheffield computer scientists in collaboration with AstraZeneca and the University of Southampton have developed a new machine learning framework that has shown the potential to be more accurate at inverse protein folding than existing state-of-the-art methods.
Inverse protein folding is a critical process for creating novel proteins. It is the process of identifying amino acid sequences, the building blocks of proteins, that fold into a desired 3D protein structure and enable the protein to perform specific functions.
Scientists are looking at ways to tackle Alzheimer’s and dementia from all kinds of angles, and a new study has identified the molecule hevin (or SPARCL-1) as a potential way of preventing cognitive decline.
Hevin is a protein naturally produced in the brain by cells called astrocytes. These support-worker cells look after the connections or synapses between neurons, and it’s thought that hevin plays a role in this essential work.
In this new study, researchers from the Federal University of Rio de Janeiro (UFRJ) and the University of São Paulo in Brazil boosted hevin production in the brains of both healthy mice and those with an Alzheimer’s-like disease.
You stayed up too late scrolling through your phone, answering emails or watching just one more episode. The next morning, you feel groggy and irritable. That sugary pastry or greasy breakfast sandwich suddenly looks more appealing than your usual yogurt and berries. By the afternoon, chips or candy from the break room call your name. This isn’t just about willpower. Your brain, short on rest, is nudging you toward quick, high-calorie fixes.
Cancer plasticity allows tumor cells to change their identity, evade therapies, and adapt to environmental pressures, contributing to treatment resistance and metastasis. New research is targeting this adaptability through epigenetic drugs, immune checkpoint inhibitors, and strategies to limit phenotypic switching.
