2、r what they/re calling “ micro flier”, a tiny winged microchip with designs inspired by nature.The accomplishment belongs to a team of scientists at the Northwestern University in Illinois, who developed the micro flier, a flying microchip that spins like a helicopter. This thing is the size of a gr

3、ain of sand but with small wings and an aerodynamic （流線型 的） design that allows it to fall in a controlled manner thanks to its barely visible propellers.How does that work? Well, the engineers used nature s “manual“ to get their inspiration for the micro flier, analyzing the behavior of various type

4、s of wind spread seeds. Instead of using a motor or engine, the tiny flying microchip uses the power of wind to catch a flight, spinning across the ground at a low speed. It is a stable flight, and the micro flier can stand in the air for a long time, which is why it could prove to be useful for a v

5、ariety of applications.While nature has designed seeds with very sophisticated aerodynamics, the Northwestern team claims its micro flier is better, as it is even smaller and its structure allows it to fall with more stable paths and at slower speeds than equivalent （相當的） seeds from plants or trees.

6、The engineers built the flying structure to be used for purposes such as population surveillance, pollution monitoring, disease tracking, to give just a few examples. And while this might look like a simple, limited device right now, researchers see its potential for becoming a highly functional ele

The Digital Foods team at Columbia University finally found a way to prepare laboratory meat to make it more edible.Scientists have experimented with printed food since 2007. However, there was a big problem： they couldnt t find a way to cook it, since it doesnt t behave

25、 the same as traditional food. Until recently, they found that lasers would be the best substitute for pans when it comes to 3D printed meat. With this, it can have an appearance, taste and texture similar to natural meat foods.For this project, scientists first prepared a uchicken meat pure （果泥）“ w

26、ith real ground meat, which was used to model different shapes with a 3D printer. Then, they put the laboratory chicken samples under a laser that sent pulses of light to stir the meat and thus heat it. This cooking process took between 5 and 14 minutes. The results showed that the meat cooked with

27、a laser shrank 50% less and retained twice the moisture, that is, it was juicier. In addition, it released more flavor than those withother methods.In the study, researchers say that the secret of the seasoning is to emit laser pulses at different wave amplitudes. For example, a blue laser goes thro

After testing 3D laser chicken, researchers say it tastes better than traditional baked meat.While digital food seems more like science fiction, preparing food on a 3D printer is now a realit
