Altro che droni! Ora comandiamo i coleotteri con il joystick. Ecco a voi i Cyber-Coleotteri


Gli scienziati dell’Università del Queensland hanno presentato un’invenzione insolita che può accelerare significativamente le operazioni di ricerca e soccorso. Hanno trasformato i comuni coleotteri (Zophobas morio) in veri e propri insetti cibernetici, dotandoli di microchip miniaturizzati e di un sistema di controllo remoto.

Questi “super soccorritori” sono dotati di zaini rimovibili dotati di componenti elettronici che permettono di indirizzare gli insetti nella giusta direzione. Il controllo avviene tramite joystick simili a quelli utilizzati nei videogiochi. Grazie a questo, è possibile controllare con precisione i movimenti dei coleotteri senza danneggiarli o comprometterne la durata di vita.

L’idea di utilizzare gli insetti in compiti complessi come la rimozione di detriti da edifici crollati o da miniere non è nata per caso. Secondo il responsabile del progetto, il Dott. Tang Vo-Doan, i coleotteri possiedono già di per sé straordinarie capacità naturali. Si muovono agilmente su superfici complesse, si insinuano nelle fessure più strette e si arrampicano con sicurezza su superfici verticali, laddove le attrezzature tradizionali e persino i robot in miniatura sono impotenti.

Gli zaini sono costruiti utilizzando elettrodi che inviano segnali alle antenne del coleottero o alle sue elitre, le placche protettive rigide che ricoprono le sue ali. In questo modo, il team riesce a far muovere gli insetti nella giusta direzione. Sono già stati condotti test con successo: i coleotteri si muovono con sicurezza sia orizzontalmente che verticalmente verso l’alto e sono persino in grado di sollevare un carico aggiuntivo pari al loro peso.
Uno Zophobas morio, o tenebrione, dotato di uno zaino con microchip rimovibile che i ricercatori possono utilizzare per sollecitare i movimenti.
Sebbene alcuni test siano attualmente in corso utilizzando una fonte di alimentazione esterna, gli sviluppatori stanno già preparando prototipi migliorati con batterie compatte e telecamere miniaturizzate. Ciò consentirà non solo di monitorare i movimenti dell’insetto, ma anche di ricevere immagini in tempo reale dalla scena, fondamentale per le operazioni di soccorso.

Il team prevede di testare la nuova tecnologia in situazioni di emergenza reali nei prossimi cinque anni. Se il progetto supererà con successo le fasi di implementazione, i cyber-bug saranno in grado di ispezionare rapidamente le macerie, trovare sopravvissuti e trasmettere informazioni ai soccorritori, il che accelererà significativamente l’erogazione dei soccorsi.

Il lavoro degli scienziati dell’Università del Queensland si inserisce in una tendenza globale volta a creare tecnologie bioibride. Sviluppi simili sono già in corso in diversi Paesi. Ad esempio, gli specialisti della Nanyang Technological University di Singapore trasformano gli scarafaggi in “robot” controllati in pochi minuti, e diversi anni fa i bioingegneri hanno creato una versione cibernetica della pianta di Venere acchiappamosche, in grado di afferrare con delicatezza piccoli oggetti.

Repairing the World with LEGO (10 Photos)


What If LEGO Could Repair the World?


German artist Jan Vormann has turned the idea of fixing cracks in urban landscapes into a global movement with his Dispatchwork project. Using colorful LEGO bricks, Vormann repairs crumbling walls and structures, transforming decay into vibrant art. His playful installations, found in over 40 cities, challenge us to see imperfections as opportunities for creativity.

The colorful LEGO repair contrasts beautifully with the dark, aged stones and cobblestone pavement below, blending playful design with the textures of urban decay.

The Global Movement of LEGO Repairs


Vormann began Dispatchwork in Bocchignano, Italy, in 2007, and his project quickly spread worldwide. By filling gaps and cracks in aging buildings with LEGO bricks, his work contrasts the weathered tones of old structures with the bright colors of modern play. Some installations use just a few bricks, while others incorporate thousands, creating an eye-catching patchwork of color.

The vibrant LEGO patch fills the damaged area, contrasting sharply with the surrounding traditional bricks, while a black metal bar runs through the arch. In the background, a park with trees and people can be seen, adding an urban context to this playful intervention.

How Jan Vormann Turns Cracks Into Colorful Masterpieces


Each repair tells its own story, inviting viewers to reflect on urban decay and restoration. What makes Dispatchwork unique is its collaborative nature: passersby are often encouraged to participate, adding their own LEGO creations to the repairs. This transforms each artwork into a shared expression of creativity between the artist and the community.

LEGO Art That Inspires and Connects Communities


Jan Vormann’s project reminds us that art isn’t limited to galleries—it can be part of the everyday world. His work brings smiles to those who encounter it and sparks conversations about urban imperfections. It’s proof that even small creative gestures can leave a big impact.

La foto di un Red Sprite sopra un temporale visto dalla ISS: cos’è e cosa sappiamo su questo fenomeno

L'astronauta Nichole Ayers ha fotografato dalla ISS un Red Sprite o "Spettro Rosso", raro fenomeno atmosferico che dura pochi millisecondi. Si tratta di una scarica elettrica di colore rosso-blu che si genera sopra i forti temporali, verso la ionosfera a circa 80 km dalla Terra su cui si hanno ancora poche informazioni.

Van Morrison - Born To Sing: No Plan B (2012)


immagine

A quattro anni da Keep it Simple ultimo suo disco in studio, esce Born To Sing: No Plan B, album registrato interamente in presa diretta nel castello di Culloden in Irlanda e precisamente a Belfast sua città natale. Per questo lavoro, Morrison ha scelto e non a caso, l'etichetta jazz Blue Note. Il “suono” infatti, è prevalentemente influenzato di jazz, oltre che di soul e blues “toni” a lui sempre cari. Nel sottotitolo dell'album Born To Sing: No piano B, è indicato il potere che la musica ancora possiede per questa leggenda vivente chiamato “The Man”. Nessun Piano B infatti, è la prova concreta che non esistono secondi piani, l'assoluta convinzione per questo quasi settantenne musicista con cinquanta anni di carriera alle spalle e trentacinque dischi pubblicati, che, la musica con l'“M” maiuscola ha ancora un valore assoluto, supremo, e che, se esistono mode e modi che in qualche modo vogliono distogliere la sua vera essenza, la musica quella “vera” esiste ancora, senza se e senza ma... artesuono.blogspot.com/2014/11…

@andypiper it's the pocket pen 2.0 from Tom's studio 😀 can be configured with F,M and Semi-Flex nibs. Other cool nibs can be sold separately 😍 (architect, fude and sketching flex nibs, etc). Only downside maybe: it only takes small cartridges so no direct use of a converter possible :/ but they ship it with a cute syringe converter to fill up a small cartridge.

Ubisoft isn't the only studio that orders you to destroy your games once support ends


Ubisoft is being called out for a clause people have discovered in its licence agreement that orders owners of its games to destroy them should the studio choose to end service for those games. However, not only is the clause not new, as some have implied, but Ubisoft is far from the only studio that has it in its licence agreement.

Not only has that clause been in the Ubisoft EULA for a while, but the same sentiment can be found in EULAs you've agreed to before playing other games from an array of different studios. As highlighted by Amon274 on Reddit, the same clause can be found in the EULAs for various games on Steam, including Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and Oblivion Remastered. A Phasmophobia dev also pointed to a similar clause in multiple agreements when the game was called out for the exact same thing two years ago.

Even your copies of Baldur's Gate 3 have got to go if Larian Studios ever deems it so.
