China has unveiled a spheric police robot capable of pursuing criminals. The AI equipped robot can operate autonomously. It can even fall from heights. The robot is capable of confronting perpetrators, shooting nets to immobilise them until police arrive. It attacks opponents at speeds of up to 35 km/h.

Inspired by vines’ twisty tenacity, engineers have developed a robotic gripper that can snake around and lift objects. The robot can safely and stably lift a variety of heavy and fragile items; a larger version can safely lift a human out of bed.

building a mostly 3d printable, cheap and easy to build vacuform machine. i’ll upload the files when i’ve tested it the bottom frame is 3d printed and the pet sheet carrier is flat laser cut sheet metal you heat the sheet in the oven, hook up a vacuum cleaner and that’s it

Hiding out-of-sight on our produce, pipes, and even teeth are tiny bacterial cells enmeshed within a sticky web. These microbial clusters—known as biofilms—are more resistant to antibiotics and other weapons. Researchers have discovered another surprising way they survive: ejecting some of their cells as if they were escape pods jettisoned from a doomed sci-fi spaceship, researchers report. Learn more:
