The device has a 1080p HD camera with LED lights at the tip. Adrian Kingsley-Hughes/ZDNET I have a number of inspection cameras, and they're fantastic for getting eyes into places that you normally can't get to.

gizmodo.com Margherita Bassi 2025-11-22 00:20:54

It looks like something straight out of a Ouija board horror movie, but frosty—researchers have figured out how to make ice move by itself. A video capturing the creepy dynamic features an ice disk melting on a metal surface etched with an asymmetrical herringbone pattern. The ice and its small puddle slowly start to move sideways before suddenly picking up speed and slingshotting across the metal plate. The researchers suggest that this sort of independent movement could one day generate power
