This totally tubular robot doesn’t need a centralized processing system to hop around on land or swim in the water—it relies instead on air and simple physics. That and more of the best from @science.org and science in this edition of #ScienceAdviser: www.science.org/content/arti... 🧪

Closing out my second talk at the RoboSoft workshops with this: take robot joy seriously! Examples include EMFcamp, Cat Royale, and sextech hack. Fantastic bunch of people doing cool things. Feels like my brain has had a good spring clean.

Engineer and photographer Harold Edgerton was born #OTD in 1903. He pioneered various forms of high-speed photography using specialized cameras, strobe lighting, and other techniques. You’ve probably seen many of the images he created! 🧪 ⚛️ 📸 Images: MIT; H. Edgerton

The first paper of my PhD is about a strange phenomenon peculiar to ketchup bottle valves 💧🥫 You may already have experienced that annoying sputtering when you squeeze ketchup out of the bottle. But not always, right? 🧪⚛️ www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

From a visit to the Renwick Gallery in DC a couple of weeks ago: a very cool art piece by Lauren Mabry showcasing coiling instabilities in viscous fluids. A beautiful intersection of art, fluid mechanics (and some rheology!). @sorheology.bsky.social @apsdsoft.bsky.social
