Do you burn through notebooks and find yourself constantly having to buy new ones? Check out Rocketbook; it might just be the answer to your problems.
Freshly launched on Indiegogo this week, the notebook is designed to be completely reusable — paper and all. Once you fill up all the pages, the Rocketbook is able to digitize all your notes and store them in the cloud, and then clear all the pages so you can write on them again.
How is such a thing possible? Well for starters, the pages of the notebook (which are just regular-ol’ paper, by the way) feature a set of seven different symbols. These symbols can be mapped to different functions, such as saving to Dropbox, Evernote, Google Docs, or even just sending the document to your email inbox. Mark one of the symbols on the page, and when you scan it with Rocketbook’s accompanying smartphone app, a digitized copy of the page will instantly be sent to the cloud storage platform of your choice. Check out the video to see it in action.
Now, here’s where it gets crazy: After you’ve scanned, digitized, and saved your notes, you can just pop Rocketbook in the microwave for 30 seconds and it’ll erase all your notes — so long as you use the right type of pen, that is. Rocketbook’s creators encourage users to write in the notebook with Pilot FriXion pens, which use a special kind of thermo-sensitive ink that turns clear when exposed to high temperatures. Rocketbook is designed to be completely microwave safe, so unlike other notebooks, it won’t melt or catch on fire when you nuke it.
Despite launching just a couple days ago, the project has already fulfilled its $20K funding goal, and has nearly a month to go before the campaign is over. You can lock down a Rocketbook of your own for a pledge of just $25, and assuming everything goes as planned, the company expects to ship the first units in July.

Talk to AI every day? New research says it might signal depression
This finding comes from a national survey of nearly 21,000 U.S. adults conducted in 2025, where participants detailed how often they interacted with generative AI tools and completed standard mental health questionnaires. Within that group, about 10% said they used AI daily, and 5% said they engaged with chatbots multiple times throughout the day. Those daily users showed higher rates of reported depressive symptoms and other negative emotional effects, such as anxiety and irritability.
You might actually be able to buy a Tesla robot in 2027
The comments follow a series of years-long development milestones. Optimus, which was originally unveiled as the Tesla Bot in 2021, has undergone multiple prototype iterations and has already been pressed into service handling simple tasks in Tesla factories. According to Musk, those internal deployments will expand in complexity later this year, helping prepare the robotics platform for broader use.
Blue Origin joins the satellite internet race with its 6 Tbps TeraWave network
According to the official announcement, Blue Origin plans to launch 5,280 low-Earth orbit satellites and 128 medium-Earth orbit satellites for the service, with the first ones set to deploy in late 2027. The low-Earth satellites will rely on RF connectivity and offer a max data transfer speed of 144 Gbps, while the medium-Earth satellites will use optical links to reach the publicized 6 Tbps speed. In comparison, SpaceX's Starlink maxes out at 400 Mbps at the moment, with future upgrades aiming for 1 Gbps.
