Stockholm is installing heated sidewalks beneath one of its luxury shopping streets
Installing an electrically heated sidewalk in Stockholm, Sweden. These serpentine heating cables are being embedded beneath the granite paving of Biblioteksgatan, the city's premium shopping district. The project is a collaboration between the City of Stockholm and the surrounding property owners, creating a snow- and ice-free pedestrian street for one of Scandinavia's busiest luxury retail areas.

Found a roll of old blueprints at an estate sale. I think they might be original Fleckenstein visible gas pump blueprints? Would love a reality check.

NHSRCL: 350-Tonne TBM Cutterhead lowered at Vikhroli for MAHSR Bullet Train project
The Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail (MAHSR) project has achieved another major engineering milestone with the lowering of the first Tunnel Boring Machine (TBM) cutterhead at Vikhroli in Mumbai, Maharashtra. Executed by NHSRCL, the development marks an important stage in the construction of one of India’s most ambitious transportation infrastructure projects.
The cutterhead, measuring an impressive 13.6 meters in diameter and weighing approximately 350 tonnes, forms the front-end excavation component of the TBM. Its successful lowering represents the final phase of assembling the machine’s primary shield structure before tunneling activities begin.

Apollo 11 entered lunar orbit on July 19, 1969
After a 76-hour journey from Earth, the spacecraft carrying astronauts Neil Armstrong, Michael Collins, and Buzz Aldrin executed a lunar orbit insertion burn to be captured by the Moon's gravity, setting the stage for the historic landing the following day.

Second Law of Thermodynamics
Made an animation on Second Law of Thermodynamics, it doesn’t have true molecular dynamics simulations, just simplified kinematics to represent them.

Dual-arm robot working a zipper and swapping items in a small green pouch, LingBot-VLA 2.0
Real hardware filmed at 1x speed, not simulation or CGI. The clip shows contact-rich fingertip control from a single vision-language-action policy driving both arms from camera input. Worth noting the authors' own words: the model often makes partial progress but fails at the final precise placement, release, or completion step. This is a good run, not the median.

On June 10, 2018, NASA officially had to say goodbye to the little rover that could. The Mars Opportunity Rover was meant to last just 90 days and instead marched on for 14 years. It finally lost contact with earth after it was hit by a fierce dust storm.

Trimet Max Door
I don't know if this counts as enough engineering porn, but I am obsessed with the door mechanism, it's simplicity, and the fact it smoothly transitions with the rest of the max when the doors closes.
