Rigami Robot


Scientists from Ohio, US, have
created a new soft, flexible
robot inspired from an origami
design of a twisted tower. The
3D printed design named
TWISTER (TWISted TowEr
Robot), made of multiple
layers of triangles, hexagons
or octagons, can be used for
minimally invasive surgeries
and even taken to outer space.

Watch live as SpaceX launches its highly anticipated Falcon Heavy rocket

SUBSCRIBE to the magazine SPACE Watch live as SpaceX launches its highly anticipated Falcon Heavy rocket Oh gosh, this is really happening. By   Mary Beth Griggs   9 hours ago Falcon Heavy on the launchpad. SpaceX It’s been nearly seven years since Elon Musk first unveiled the concept for his  Falcon Heavy  rocket, the largest to launch since the  Saturn V . Saturn V's were NASA’s titans of the launchpad, propelling Apollo missions to the moon and  Skylab  into orbit. Their size and power remain unmatched, even if Tuesday's test succeeds. But the Falcon Heavy is still a long-anticipated heavy hitter. Seven years of waiting and anticipation. Two weeks(ish) since it sucessfully  test-fired  the 27 Merlin engines within its three Falcon 9 cores. And now, finally,  finally  we get to see it blast off. The first launch window opens on February 6 at 1:30...

THIS PLANE HAS KFC BUCKETS FOR WINGS AND IT FLIES REALLY WELL

The  early history of aviation  featured a bunch of fascinating ideas about how to get a craft airborne, but ultimately, it would be the Wright brothers’ design that would go on to inform most subsequent flying machines. That said, this doesn’t mean that a plane with two conventional wings is the only way to put something in the sky. There are plenty of ways to make that happen, and as YouTuber  PeterSripol  demonstrated, one of those methods involves a pair of KFC buckets ( via  Sploid ). The video above documents the process start to finish, and it begins by going to KFC and convincing the teenage employee to snag them a couple of fresh buckets. Once that was settled, he went about creating his craft out of some foam core board, some mechanical components, and, of course, the buckets. After one failed attempt, the design was revised, and sure enough, they ended up with a craft more than capable of taking a controlled flight. The reason this works is ...
