This week we revealed a robot that can fly as fast as a bumblebee
This week on Dezeen, we reported on MIT's tiny, bee-sized flying robot, which could someday help with search-and-rescue missions.
Measuring four centimetres wide and weighing under one gram, the micro robot was designed to fit through tight spaces and, in the future, may be used by rescue teams or to inspect tight spaces like turbine engines.
We continued our Review of 2025 by looking at the top 10 holiday homes and top 10 staircases of the year.
We also rounded up the six most talked-about concept cars of the year, which included three vehicles informed by motoring's golden age in the 1930s.
This week also saw Ab Rogers create a colourful fold-out book that showcases the work of his father, the late Richard Rogers.
Named Richard Rogers Talking Buildings, the book aims to introduce young readers to 10 of the influential architect's key projects.
As the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) got underway in Morocco, British-Nigerian designer Yinka Ilori unveiled the Man of the Match trophies, which will be awarded to the best player in each of the tournament's 52 games.
"The concept was to design a trophy that richly celebrates and represents the 24 participating nations, but also celebrates the host Morocco," Ilori told Dezeen.
Popular projects this week included a floating timber sauna on a lake in rural Norway, an art library for Chanel in Shanghai and a "contemporary cabin" in the Brazilian forest.
