Rolls-Royce Is Building Cockroach-Like Robots to Fix Plane Engines
Rolls-Royce believes these tiny insect-inspired robots will save engineers time by serving as their eyes and hands within the tight confines of an airplane’s engine. According to a report by The Next Web, the company plans to mount a camera on each bot to allow engineers to see what’s going on inside an engine without have to take it apart. Rolls-Royce thinks it could even train its cockroach-like robots to complete repairs.

Neutrinos Linked With Cosmic Source for the First Time
High-energy neutrinos have been traced back to a flaring supermassive black hole known as a blazar. The long-sought link opens the door to an entirely new way to study the universe.
Neutrinos, though infamously difficult to detect, offer a key advantage over observations with light: The universe is essentially opaque to electromagnetic radiation above a certain energy. High-energy neutrinos, on the other hand, zip across the cosmos unimpeded. When they are caught, the original information they carry remains intact, no matter how far they have had to travel. Scientists hope that with enough neutrinos, they’ll be able image their sources — including the most energetic events in the universe — just like we do with electromagnetic radiation.

When a neutrino travels through ice, it gives off a faint glow that can be picked up by IceCube’s photodetectors and tracked back to the area of the sky where the neutrino originated.

This Is The Fastest Rotor Humans Have Ever Built, And It's Bending Our Understanding of Physics
Scientists have created a tiny rotor that rotates at speeds of up to 60 billion revolutions a minute – the fastest-spinning human-made rotor in history, and 100,000 times faster than your average dental drill.
Scientists from NUST MISIS and colleagues from the University of Bayreuth, the University of Münster (Germany), the University of Chicago (U.S.), and Linköping University (Sweden) have created nitrides, a material previously considered impossible to obtain. More amazing, they have shown that the material can be obtained using a very simple method of direct synthesis.
