Time magazine has announced the top 300 best inventions of 2026
**Apple iPhone Duo**
The first foldable iPhone is the size of a passport when folded, and transforms into a small tablet when unfolded.
On the large screen, you can watch movies, open websites side-by-side, and simultaneously show both yourself and the surrounding events during a FaceTime call. Apple created a special nanotextured polymer coating for the display and placed more than 100 tiny parts inside the hinge. According to initial users, the crease on the screen is practically invisible.
**Dyson CameraJet**
Dyson combined an electric toothbrush and an irrigator, installing a tiny camera at the tip. It detects spaces between teeth as well as food debris, and directs the water stream to that exact spot during the cleaning process itself. Through the app, you can examine the oral cavity or send a video recording to your dentist. The battery and cleaning heads are designed to be replaceable.
**1X Neo**
Although the humanoid home robot weighs about 30 kilograms, it can lift loads heavier than 68 kilograms and carry around 25 kilograms. Neo independently brings items from other rooms, tidies up the tabletop, and helps put away groceries. For more complex tasks, such as folding clothes and unloading the dishwasher, Expert Mode is currently required: in this mode, the robot is remotely controlled by a 1X employee. During operation, the device learns and acquires skills. The price of such an assistant is $20,000.
**Adept Materials Lilypad Paint**
