The Swiss company called K-Team invented a new kind of robot! The engineering team took as a basis the swarm intelligence of ants and created the kilobot swarm. Each of the devices follows a small set of rules, but when placed together, they mold into some sort of a universal mind clever enough to solve complex tasks. In the future, this system will be able to unify not only kilobots but other robots too, the ones we can see only at exhibitions for now.
What will happen if they start swarming around cities of the future all at once? Which robots would come to our aid during the worst disasters? Why is this piece of magnetic slime learning how to sneak into your intestines? And how will robots change our lives in a real city of the future?

Another 999 attempts and the trash will be gone forever.
The first 100,000 kg of plastic has now been recovered from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch (GPGP), The Ocean Cleanup, a non-profit organization engaged in removing plastic dumped in oceans, revealed in a LinkedIn post.
Founded in 2013, The Ocean Cleanup is developing technologies that can help remove plastics that are discarded into the oceans as well as intercept them in the rivers before they enter the larger water bodies. The organization’s target is the GPGP in the North Pacific Ocean, where trash from countries in Asia, South America, and North America gathers into a large gyre of debris in the water. ## How does The Ocean Cleanup plan to clear it?
As part of its strategy to clear up the GPGP, the organization built System 001\.
Scientists in China have invented a powerful laser which can essentially scorch the air to create patterns. Lasers have already been used to create optical illusions, but they needed dust or clouds as a medium.
The Wuhan-based team demonstrated the laser by writing Chinese characters in the air, which can be viewed and even touched.
