Engineers Turn Lobster Shells Into Robot Parts That Lift, Grip and Swim
Engineers have transformed discarded crustacean shells into functional biohybrid robots by softening the shell segments, adding elastomers, and attaching motors. These recycled structures can lift weight, grasp delicate items, and even propel small swimmers. The project demonstrates how food waste can become a sustainable robotics resource, though challenges remain wi...
Strongest Solar Flare of 2025 Sends High-Energy Radiation Rushing Toward Earth
A powerful X5.1 solar flare on November 11, 2025, sent high-speed protons toward Earth, producing the strongest radiation spike detected in nearly two decades. The event caused a rare ground-level enhancement, briefly raising radiation at flight altitude to ten times normal. While not dangerous this time, scientists warn larger flares could threaten avionics and commu...
