Color-changing film could give robots chameleon-like skin

A new type of ultra-thin film with an incredible ability to change color as it is twisted or bent could one day make its way onto robots to give them chameleon-like skin, or into cash as a means of verifying its authenticity.

Donkervoort releases “the world’s first 2G production supercar”

That's 2 g, as in you can wrench the steering wheel sideways at speed and the new D8 GTO JD70 will grip the road so hard it'll smoosh your face against the side windows with twice the force of gravity. It's also the most powerful Donker ever made.

Nano-motor of just 16 atoms runs at the boundary of quantum physics

Researchers at Empa and EPFL have created one of the smallest motors ever made. It’s composed of just 16 atoms, and at that tiny size it seems to function right on the boundary between classical physics and the spooky quantum realm.
