Flying Microrobots (RoboBees)
ROBOBEES
Autonomously flying microrobots with potential uses in crop pollination, search and rescue missions, surveillance, as well as high-resolution weather, climate, and environmental monitoring.
Inspired by the biology of a bee, researchers at the Wyss Institute are developing RoboBees, manmade systems that could perform myriad roles in agriculture or disaster relief. A RoboBee measure about half the size of a paper clip weighs less than one-tenth of a gram and flies using “artificial muscles” compromised of materials that contract when a voltage is applied. Additional modifications allow some models of RoboBee to transition from swimming underwater to flying, as well as “perch” on surfaces using static electricity.
The masterminding of the RoboBee was motivated by the idea to develop autonomous micro-aerial vehicles capable of self-contained, self-directed flight and of achieving coordinated behavior in large groups. To that end, the RoboBee development is broadly divided into three main components: the Body, Brain, and Colony. Body development consists of constructing robotic insects able to fly on their own with the help of a compact and seamlessly integrated power source; brain development is concerned with “smart” sensors and control electronics that mimic the eyes and antennae of a bee, and can sense and respond dynamically to the environment; the Colony’s focus is about coordinating the behavior of many independent robots so they act as an effective unit.

These have wide applications in industrial purposes.
Applications of Superconductors
The unique properties of superconductivity facilitated many great discoveries of the 20th century such as the magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) technique. Established commercial applications of superconductivity are dominated by the use of LTS materials and include:
• Magnets for Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)
• Low and high field magnets for Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR)
• Low and high field magnets for physical sciences and research
• Accelerators for high-energy physics
• Large-scale magnet demonstrators for plasma fusion reactors
• Industrial magnets for materials magnetic separation

Do you know about Aerogel ?
Aerogel, also known as frozen smoke, is world's lowest density solid, clocking in at 96% air. If you hold it in your hand, it's practically impossible to see it or feel it, but when you poke its styrofoam. The amazing thing is that it can hold up to 4000 times its own weight and can withstand a direct blast from 2 pounds of dynamite. It is also the best insulator in existence.
To know more about aerogel then google it!

Interesting facts about the human brain
Interesting facts about the human brain
- The human brain weighs 3 pounds.
- Our brain generates about 12-25 watts of electricity.This is enough to power a low wattage LED light.
- The blood vessels that are present in the brain are almost 100,000 miles in length.
- When we learn something new, the physical structure of brain changes.
- In 2015, the 4th most powerful supercomputer in the world took 40mins to simulate just one sec of the human brain activity.
- Exercise is just as good for your brain as it is for your body
