  1. RE: flipboard.com/@sciencealert/te

    The #components needed to give a device the properties of a #computer have become increasingly smaller. M. M. Lassiter et al. (2025) designed the #smallest #microrobot to date, measuring just 200 by 300 μm wide and 50 μm thick. It can #aggregate, #communicate, #sense, and #move via #electricalfields inside #fluids. There are interesting applied options for using such a robot in e.g. medical contexts.

  2. Why Do Treehoppers Have Such Bizarro Body Shapes?

    "Treehoppers detect electrical fields emitted by their predators and may also distinguish between electrical fields emitted by their predators and friendly insects."
