MIT researchers have developed a lightweight polymer film that is nearly impenetrable to gas molecules, raising the possibility that it could be used as a protective coating to prevent solar cells and other infrastructure from corrosion, and to slow the aging of packaged food and medicines.
The polymer, which can be applied as a film mere nanometers thick, completely repels nitrogen and other gases, as far as can be detected by laboratory equipment, the researchers found. That degree of impermeability has never been seen before in any polymer, and rivals the impermeability of molecularly-thin crystalline materials such as graphene.
“Our polymer is quite unusual. It’s obviously produced from a solution-phase polymerization reaction, but the product behaves like graphene, which is gas-impermeable because it’s a perfect crystal. However, when you examine this material, one would never confuse it with a perfect crystal,” says Michael Strano, the Carbon P.
The iOS 26.6 developer beta released earlier today brings a few animation and interface tweaks, indicating that Apple is still working on the balance between practical usability and its original vision for Liquid Glass. Here’s what’s changed.

Nintendo and Illumination have aired the first official trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. That’s not all, though! If you only watched the trailer and didn’t actually catch the Nintendo Direct, you might have missed two other scenes.
During the short presentation by Shigeru Miyamoto, Illumination’s Chris Meledandri (and the voice of Bowser, Jack Black), Mario fans got a teaser of a Rosalina and Bowser Jr. scenes. In the main trailer, Rosalina doesn’t speak, so this is technically the first scene we’ve seen of her talking.

TL;DR Using Google’s new Veo 3.1 video model, we created a breathtaking 1 minute 40 second FPV drone flight through mountain valleys, and it took just 15 minutes to generate.
Imagine soaring through alpine valleys, gliding between snowy peaks, and diving toward rivers that twist like silver ribbons below, all without leaving your desk. That’s exactly what we did using Veo 3.1, Google’s latest generative AI video model.
Our test video, a first-person drone flight across a mountain range, captures the freedom and exhilaration of flying while showcasing just how far AI video tools have come. The result is stunningly realistic: sunlight glinting off ridges, smooth motion through tight turns, and even the soft rush of wind that accompanies the journey.
What’s most incredible? The 1-minute 40-second clip took only about 15 minutes to generate … proof that we’ve entered an era where high-quality aerial cinematography is within everyone’s reach.
