Robofish: It Goes Where No Man Can
Underwater robots so far had the disadvantage that they needed to surface often to communicate with the human controller. Kristi Morgansen of the University of Washington, has developed the Robofish, that communicate with other such robots and hence it conveyers the information without resurfacing. It is called Robofish as it is using a fish tale for propulsion rather than propeller. This system enables silent movement and more manoeuvrability than standard propeller vessels.

Meet Adam, your new classmate
Adam’s 13 year old face is a bit odd but I doubt that his classmates, in a Norwegian school, would guess the guilty past of this strange and silent boy.
The days passed and Adam started to become even weirder, and suspicions started to grow, until four months after his enrollment when with the help of the police the truth was revealed.
The 13 year old Adam was in fact the 33 year old Barbora from Czech republic!
In Youtube they have a video with her arrest, its nothing special but its included here for your information.
