Divine Wind

A major storm has broken over Dawdle Hall! Read here how attempts to harness some amazing stuff called ‘electric wind’ have caused a real flap.

Hats Off to:

The bees bearing little electronic backpacks helping farmers keep an eye on the weather.

Also the robot builders making bionic arms that can be 3D printed around the world.

Plus the engineers who came up with the idea of blowing bubbles out of the bottoms of ships so they can surf on the air mattress and save fuel.

And finally the vet who dressed up as a giant mouse to calm a nervous dog.

Nasa’s zero gravity 3D printer which is big enough to produce structures in space and could soon mean factories floating in the eternal void.

The boffins at Oxford University who are working on a phone app that detects nearby mosquitoes and may soon be able to warn of the ones carrying malaria.
