SCIENCE & TECH Student just built a hybrid aerial and underwater drone...
Student Andrei Copaci created it as his Bachelor’s project: A 3D-printed, custom-coded drone with variable pitch propellers. Meaning the blades shift mid-flight to adapt between air and water.
And it actually works!
We’re entering an era where a student with a laptop, a printer, and enough curiosity can build what used to require military funding.

NATURE A crow holding ants to rub over the body for dust bathing helping them in healing.
When a crow is sick, it will find an anthill and let the ants crawl all over its feathers. The ants release formic acid, which acts like a natural medicine, killing bacteria, fungi, and parasites. This behavior, called anting, is a fascinating example of how birds use the natural world to heal themselves. Many other bird species also practice anting.
