  1. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ ICYMI: ๐Ÿง๐Ÿค– Engineers at #MIT and #EPFL built a flapping-wing #robot that swims #underwater and flies into the air.

    Inspired by diving #birds like #puffins, the small #vehicle folds its #wings to handle water density. This #technology could help scientists collect environmental samples from both air and #water.

  5. ๐Ÿ’๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ TIL: ๐Ÿญ๐Ÿงฌ #Apollo #astronauts preferred skipping on the #Moon, a gait adults rarely use on #Earth.

    Researchers found that #mice adopt the same skipping gait in simulated lunar #gravity, but lose it when their #proprioception cells are disabled. The gait may offer a useful speed stability trade off on uneven low gravity terrain.

    Researchers at #Imperial College #London measured 162 #species across four #continents to study spider #locomotion. They found that longer legs relative to body size predict greater speed.

  18. Everybody's doing a brand-new thing now
    (Come on baby, do the slop-o-motion)
    I know you'll get to like it if you give it a chance now
    (Come on baby, do the slop-o-motion)

    My little baby sister can do it with ease
    It's easier than learning your A-B-Cs
    So come on, come on, do the slop-o-motion with me.

  19. @tksst Can we truly bring #dinosaurs to life for #film through #animation, not only in terms of #locomotion, but also scientifically reconstruct the #sounds they made? Due to enormous gaps in our knowledge, which are an inherent part of #paleontology, fantasy must also play a significant role when films depict moving and sound-producing dinosaurs. Nevertheless, the scientific approach of #phylogeneticreconstruction based on extant related taxa of dinosaurs, is one of the few only serious methods
