What just happened? A team of engineers at the University of Edinburgh has unveiled a new chapter in robotics: soft, four-legged robots that can walk off a 3D printer as soon as they’re made. This innovation, powered by a desktop machine called the Flex Printer, could make advanced robotics accessible to a much wider audience and spark fresh advances in fields from medicine to nuclear safety. Unlike traditional robots built from rigid materials and packed with electronics, these new devices are crafted entirely from soft plastic and move using compressed air. The absence of electronics not only simplifies the design…

Sen. Tommy Tuberville (R-Ala.) on Tuesday announced he was running for governor with the launch of his campaign website, creating an open GOP primary for his Senate seat in the process.  Tuberville, a first-term senator and longtime college football coach, told The Hill in an interview that President Trump’s presence in Washington had weighed on his mind in terms of his future. “Either way, I’m looking at where I can help the people of Alabama the most. At the end of the day, a job’s a job,” he said about the decision. “It’s like coaching — I always looked at…

It’s late at night in South Nashville, and the seventh day of a weeklong immigration sweep here. Tennessee state troopers, trailed by federal ICE agents in unmarked cars, raced down deserted streets in this predominantly Hispanic neighborhood. “Are you in Harding?

They’re trying to document and disrupt what they say is an unprecedented partnership between state troopers and ICE agents. “Yeah it’s putting a lot of fear in the community. Like, I’m having conversations with people’s families who are…

Western Europeans crafted hunting weapons out of bones from whales stranded on the Atlantic shoreline between 20,000 and 14,000 years ago, researchers report May 27 in Nature Communications. Previously excavated finds at Stone Age cave and rock–shelter sites running from northwestern Spain to southwestern France, some located as far as about 300 kilometers inland, represent the oldest known examples of whale bone tools, say archaeologist Jean-Marc Pétillon of the University of Toulouse Jean Jaurès, France, and colleagues. Implements made of whale bones in other parts of the world, such as the South Pacific islands, date to no more than several…

When women do get a diagnosis, they’re often older and have a higher body fat mass. They’re also more likely to die from diabetes-related causes, especially heart disease. And some researchers think underdiagnosis might explain part of the gap—perhaps more cases are being missed in women.To address this disparity, researchers are trying to understand more about the biological and social differences that contribute to later diagnoses and worse outcomes…
