☆ This robot amputates its own limbs to survive

Yale’s gecko-inspired robot’s ability to reconfigure itself creates a soft robot that’s even more adaptable. Tan, who works on materials for soft electronics and soft robotics, says that Yale’s robot is the first self-amputating, self-reconfigurable soft robot she’s seen. “What if a soft robot is just minding its own business walking in the wild, but then some part of it is trapped under a rock?” he questioned. “How does the rest of the robot continue on to finish its mission?”Three soft robot modules join to cross a gap that’s too wide for one to bridge on its own. “We can now adapt soft robots … after the robot is underway for its tasks,” he said.

☆ Archimedes’ death ray might have worked, teen science project suggests
  + stars: | 2024-03-08 | by ( Taylor Nicioli | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +7 min
But one fabled device has left scientists speculating on its existence for hundreds of years — the death ray. For his 2022 science project, Sener recreated the Archimedes screw, a device for raising and moving water. Sener found the death ray to be one of the more intriguing devices — sometimes referred to as the heat ray. Archimedes’ death ray is more commonly speculated to have been an array of several mirrors or polished shields. Sener’s mom, Melanie, was not surprised by her son’s choice in science project.

State monopoly Indian Railways runs the fourth largest train network in the world. It transports 13 million people every day and moved nearly 1.5 billion tonnes of freight in 2022. 'GOOD SAFETY RECORD'Indian Railways maintains that safety has always been a key focus, and points to its low accident rate over the years. “Some malfunction has happened and that the inquiry will reveal,” he said, referring to Friday’s crash. “This accident brings out the need to focus more on these aspects,” he said.
