The trend with E Ink devices lately has been pretty clear. For the most part, they’ve been getting bigger, with recent models like Boox’s 13.3-inch Tab X C pushing the tech firmly into tablet territory. The Picco bucks this trend: its 3.97-inch display sits in a compact body roughly the size of a playing card, weighing just 58 g (2 oz).

There’s a particular category of motorcycle that exists somewhere between a proper dirt bike and something you’d expect to find leaning against a teenager’s garage wall. The wheels are small, the proportions are compact, there’s usually no license plate in sight, and the whole thing looks like it should be considerably less terrifying than it actually is.

An axe so tiny, you could actually fit it in a pants pocket, the Axvant looks at first to be some kind of model or novelty toy. Surely it's made out of foam or wood, painted to look like a real axe? That's a negative. It is an actual axe (or tiny hatchet, at least), and while it won't be felling any spruces or processing cords of firewood, it can handle more modest tasks around camp and yard. Plus, it's actually a multitool, working as its own fire-starting kit, mallet and bottle opener.

Robots – that is, self-guided mechanisms interacting with or changing their environments – exist in the popular imagination as large, blocky, metallic beings like R2D2 or TARS from Interstellar. But the field of soft robotics offers a vast array of robotic limbs, sensors, and body types that greatly expand our understanding of what shapes a robot can manifest and what tasks it can perform.
