The robot that changes shape to escape from prison
A team of engineers has developed a robot that can jump over moats, climb walls or escape from a cage, all with the aid of a magnetic field. Yet despite its enormous potential in the fields of medicine and electronics, it is not yet fully autonomous and has some limitations.

Technology to combat glacier melting
"One of the big humanitarian time bombs of climate change." That's how glaciologist Jemma Wadham describes the melting of glaciers. Some researchers are working to slow it down using reflective blankets known as geotextiles. But while the solution looks promising, it has one major drawback: its scalability.
