A New Vapor Capture System Inspired by Spiders

Taking a cue from spider webs, researchers capture fresh water with a vapor capture system. A team of UCLA engineers and mathematicians were inspired by the formation of dew drops on spider webs that they were able to create a quite simple yet unique and effective way to capture water vapor producing clean, fresh water, or to recycle industrial water that would otherwise be wasted.

A Room-Cleaning Robot in the Works

For most of us, weekends, most especially Sundays, are spent tidying up and cleaning the house, trying to prepare for another busy week ahead. Imagine having a robot at home that could help you with all these tedious chores.
