This New Pyramid-Like Shape Always Lands With the Same Side Up

wired.com Elise Cutts 2025-08-20 16:00:00

The original version of this story appeared in Quanta Magazine. In 360 BC, Plato envisioned the cosmos as an arrangement of five geometric shapes: flat-sided solids called polyhedra. These immediately became important objects of mathematical study. So it might be surprising that, millennia later, mysteries still surround even the simplest shape in Plato’s polyhedral universe: the tetrahedron, which has just four triangular faces.

Scientists Create Prototype of Robot Designed to Cannibalize Parts of Other Robots and Build Them Into Itself

futurism.com Unknown 2025-09-11 00:13:41

Should robots be able to cannibalize each other so they can accelerate their evolution, bringing them closer to resembling self-sufficient lifeforms capable of living independently of their human masters? Good news if your answer to that question is "yes": a team of researchers from Columbia University have built a robot that can seek out and merge with other robots to grow bigger, stronger, and adapt its abilities to its environment — perhaps one day enabling entire "robot ecologies" to blosso
