Bug flight study could transform flying robots
Researchers at Cornell University have developed a new computational model explaining how insects achieve stable flight, a breakthrough that could help engineers design better flapping-wing robots.
Published in the journal Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, the study identifies five key physical traits that determine flight stability, including wing-to-body mass ratio, hinge placement, and wingbeat frequency.
The findings challenge previous assumptions about insect flight and could simplify the design of robotic flying machines by reducing the need for complex feedback systems.
Scientists discover adhesive tape can “remember”
Researchers at Pennsylvania State University have discovered that ordinary adhesive tape can store and erase multiple “memories,” opening the door to new forms of mechanical computing.

Published in the New Journal of Physics, the study showed that peeling tape to different lengths creates invisible lines of stronger adhesion. These lines act as stored memories that can later be “read” by measuring the force needed to peel the tape away.
While sticky tape is unlikely to replace laptops, understanding how materials store information could help create resilient, energy-efficient technologies in the future.
