A smart phone app that can send smells, and this bridge concept for a river in Paris is
an inflatable trampoline!
Vsauce. Kevin here! This is Mindblow.
This simulation shows an updated theory on the formation of the Moon as made up of Earth
parts. A very fast, spinning Earth collides with a planet nicknamed Theia. Theia is mostly
vaporized along with part of our planet, with some material escaping Earth and forming a
huge disk around it, eventually forming the Moon, and this could explain how the Moon's
composition so closely matches that of the Earth's.
The PRIMER V4 is a robot that can walk a tightrope, unaided. Created by Dr. Guero the robot has
grooved feet that slide along the 4mm thick steel wire and it maintains its balance using
its arms that react to an inclination sensor by making quick movements and allowing the
body to stay balanced.
The Quad Ski is the first commercially available amphibious vehicle to go over 10 mph on land
and in water. It can drive up to 45 MPH on land, and with the press of a button it takes 5
seconds for the wheels to fold up and tuck into the sides once it hits the water, where
it then also has the ability go 45 MPH. It's been in development for almost two decades
and is scheduled to go on sale in the U.S by the end of the year for around $40,000.
Here's the most detailed picture ever taken of Uranus.
A Beluga Whale was recorded trying to make human sounds. No one claims that he was trying
to communicate with humans, but most researchers seem convinced that, at the very least, he
was attempting to mimic the sounds he heard coming from humans.
These Future Socks will never get a hole, never droop, or wear out on the bottom. The
Socrates sock company is making men's socks with Kevlar-Carbon Matrix reinforcements to
make the socks extraordinarily durable. Find the link below for more information.

Darpa's Pet-Proto robot can now navigate obstacles. It uses autonomous decision-making, dismounting
mobility and dexterity, and it's part of the Darpa Robotics Challenge - the goal being
the development of ground robots capable of executing complex tasks in dangerous, human-engineered
environments.
NoPhoto is a digital smart license plate frame that aims to stop camera-based tickets. It
prevents traffic cameras from taking a picture of your license plate at red lights or speed
traps by blasting the license plate with light, making it too bright for the camera's sensor
to handle and leaving the image overexposed. They claim it's perfectly legal, and that
traffic enforcement cameras are an invasion of privacy - find the link below to read more.
Finally, Hominid is an X-ray style animation created by Brian Andrews at the Expression
College for Digital Arts of animal human hybrids...
I'm gonna leave you with a dancing baby stingray and, as always, thanks for watching.

[If the surface is vibrating, however, the droplets will continue bouncing, as seen in this video."]
