Due to the climate crisis, lemurs are moving from trees to the ground.

Climate change is forcing the lemurs and monkeys of America and Madagascar to come down from the trees to the ground in search of water, food and shelter. So they adapt to the changed conditions, but the presence of people prevents them from using a new survival strategy. These conclusions were reached by American scientists who watched 150 thousand hours of video recordings of the behavior of 15 species of lemurs and 32 species of monkeys in 68 locations.

Clone Robotics has developed a robotic arm with 27 degrees of freedom.

The muscles of the robotic arm are made as mesh tubes, inside of which there are balls with air. An external pneumatic or hydraulic pump fills these balls, they expand, and as a result, the muscles contract in the longitudinal direction. The basis of the robotic arm is made up of artificial "bones" on articulated joints, which provide a range of motion that is as close as possible to a human one. The company now plans to create a torso with a rigid spine that will include 124 muscles in the neck, shoulders, arms, chest, and upper back.

Algae biorobots cured pneumonia in mice.

The asteroid that wiped out the dinosaurs caused a tsunami 4.5 kilometers high.

Scientists at the University of Michigan conducted the most detailed collision simulation to date. The traces of waves in 120 rock samples around the world were taken as the basis. And it was revealed that the first tsunami wave reached a height of 4.5 kilometers, and the second - 1.5. If this happened now, on Earth, too, few would have survived.

Toxic air pollutants were found in the lungs of children long before their first breath.

Scottish and Belgian scientists have for the first time found particles of atmospheric pollutants in the lungs, liver and brain of unborn babies - in the womb long before their first breath.
