Robotic bug literally walks on water

arstechnica.com Unknown 2025-10-21 23:53:41

Robots can serve pizza, crawl over alien planets, swim like octopuses and jellyfish, cosplay as humans, and even perform surgery. But can they walk on water? Rhagobot isn’t exactly the first thing that comes to mind at the mention of a robot. Inspired by Rhagovelia water striders, semiaquatic insects also known as ripple bugs, these tiny bots can glide across rushing streams because of the robotization of an evolutionary adaptation.

The Concept C Is the All-Electric Sports Car Kickstarting Audi’s Design Future

wired.com Jason Barlow 2025-10-21 23:00:00

Car companies love a mission statement. With the arrival of the Concept C, Audi’s new one is crystal clear: “radical simplicity”. An all-electric two-seater with a retractable folding hard-top, the Concept C is a “progressive interpretation” of the company’s legacy, says Audi—and it's not hard to see the TT has factored pretty heavily in that. But as you pick your way through the messaging—key words here are precision and clarity, as well as a re-emphasis on our old friend, “Vorsprung durch Tec

Microsoft, the latest tech firm to agree to big software discounts for the US government, is digging even deeper into its bargain bin than the competition by offering a year of free Copilot access to government agencies willing to put up with its other problem products. The General Services Administration (GSA) announced its new deal with Microsoft on Tuesday, describing it as a "strategic partnership" that could save the federal government as much as $3.1 billion over the next year.

Stressed Ice Generates Electricity, Researchers Find

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-10-22 03:50:33

Don’t mess with ice. When it’s stressed, ice can get seriously sparky. Scientists have discovered that ordinary ice—the same substance found in iced coffee or the frosty sprinkle on mountaintops—is imbued with remarkable electromechanical properties. Ice is flexoelectric, so when it’s bent, stretched, or twisted, it can generate electricity, according to a Nature Physics paper published August 27. What’s more, ice’s peculiar electric properties appear to change with temperature, leading researc

Fuel supply is a bottleneck for Starship—here’s how SpaceX will get around it

If SpaceX is going to fly Starships as often as it wants to, it's going to take more than rockets and launch pads. First, there's the sprawling factory that SpaceX has constructed at its Starbase location along the Gulf Coast in South Texas. The building, known as Starfactory, is designed to produce one Starship per day. A couple of miles to the east, SpaceX has built one Starship launch pad and is preparing to activate a second one.

Scientists Pinpoint Cause of Mysterious Electrical Surges on Satellites

gizmodo.com Passant Rabie 2025-10-22 07:40:43

In 1994, two Canadian TV satellites failed within mere hours of each other. The pair was in a geostationary orbit when a major solar storm hit, resulting in electrostatic discharges that disabled their control electronics. Anik E1 and E2 are just one example of the effects of electric charge buildup on satellites, known as spacecraft environment discharge. New findings show a direct correlation between a spacecraft’s electric discharge and peaks in the flux of electrons in space, identifying hu

If Tesla was hoping that decent sales in China might boost the company's fast-diminishing profits, it was a forlorn hope. For the second month in a row, the automaker has experienced a year-on-year decrease in sales in China. According to Reuters, Tesla's sales dropped by 4 percent in August compared to the same month in 2024. That's not quite as dire as July, where it saw Chinese sales decrease by 8.4 percent.
