Will Boston Dynamics' acquisition by Hyundai Motor Group make it shelve a research-driven approach? The only way to find out is by looking into its past and future. Tesla’s coming to India, but—hear us out—there is more than what meets the eye. We’re also taking you to Mars (and back) to look at all the tech that makes the Perseverance Rover tick. Find out about all this and more in Unboxed’s inaugural issue.

NASA is challenging researchers to grow vascularized heart, lung, kidney, and liver and muscle tissues in outer space. And in the true spirit of tech companies turning things of fiction—such as making complex human organs in the cosmos—into reality, Techshot has started sending bioprinter prototypes to space to test and gather more data about this venture.
