I love the Jurassic-looking leaves of ‘living fossil’ horsetails, and I love the electric blue flowers of the various speedwells that grow in our lawns and along our grass verges, so this clump of horsetails with speedwells growing through them along the banks of the #RoyalCanal in #Maynooth caught my eye! #bloomscrolling

3 of 5 kittens in the latest batch adopted and just when feel like you're getting ahead, another feral mom with 4 more turns up.

Know anyone in Northern California looking for a new friend?

It takes a lot of networking, I see that.
Thank you so much for opening your home to foster kittens and foster mamas, in case I havent expressed my gratitude yet! 💚​ :Kitty:

Oh, a Russian Blue cat, do you have a photo of her?

It’s really hard at times, but it’s also really rewarding. Thanks for the kind words of support!

Below is her listing on our website, she’s very sweet and in a dog-free home would make a wonderful house cat. When we give her and her kittens free time while the dogs are in another room, she often comes up for pets and will even sit on your lap.

We’re still hopeful we can find a place for her!

Das Bild zeigt eine ruhige Szene am Ufer eines großen, ruhigen Sees. Der Himmel ist klar und blau mit einigen weißen Wolken, was auf einen sonnigen Tag hinweist. Im Vordergrund liegt ein Mountainbike auf dem Sandstrand, bereit für eine Fahrt. Der See erstreckt sich weit in die Ferne, umgeben von dichtem grünem Wald. Auf der anderen Seite des Sees sind einige Gebäude und Häuser zu sehen, die sich harmonisch in die Landschaft einfügen. Die Farben sind lebendig und die Atmosphäre ist friedlich und einladend.

Compliant Mechanism Shrinks Instead of Stretching


Series of purple and red mechanisms are stretched from left to right. Almost like arrows pointing right.

Intuitively, you think that everything that you stretch will pull back, but you wouldn’t expect a couple of pieces of plastic to win. Yet, researchers over at [AMOLF] have figured out a way to make a mechanism that will eventually shrink once you pull it enough.

Named “Counter-snapping instabilities”, the mechanism is made out of the main sub-components that act together to stretch a certain amount until a threshold is met. Then the units work together and contract until they’re shorter than their initial length. This is possible by using compliant joints that make up each of the units. We’ve seen a similar concept in robotics.

The picture reads "Excessive vibrations? / It tames them by itself... / ... by switching them off! Bridge undergoing harmonic oscillation about to crumble on the left and mechanisms on the right.

Potentially this may be used as a unidirectional actuator, allowing movement inch by inch. In addition, one application mentioned may be somewhat surprising: damping. If a structure or body is oscillating through a positive feedback loop it may continue till it becomes uncontrollable. If these units are used, after a certain threshold of oscillation the units will lock and retract, therefore stopping further escalation.

Made possible by the wonders of compliant mechanics, these shrinking instabilities show a clever solution to some potential niche applications. If you want to explore the exciting world of compliance further, don’t be scared to check out this easy to print blaster design!

Danish construction company Tscherning returns it's whole fleet of Teslas.

"At Tscherning, we not only decide how we drive – but also who we drive with. That’s why we’ve chosen to hand over the keys to our Tesla company cars – not because Tesla has become a bad car, but in light of Elon Musk’s political commitment and the opinions he has publicly expressed (and which are increasingly hard to overlook), we as a company have chosen to say “thank you for the ride.”
