This adorable little robot is designed to make sure its
photosynthesising passenger is well taken care of. It moves towards
brighter light if it needs, or hides in the shade to keep cool. When in
the light, it rotates to make sure the plant gets plenty of light. It
even likes to play with humans.

Oh, and apparently, it gets antsy when it’s thirsty.

The robot is actually an art project called “Sharing Human Technology with Plants” by a roboticist named Sun Tianqi. It’s made from a modified version of a Vincross HEXA robot, and in his own words, it’s purpose is “to explore the relationship between living beings and robots.”

The first audio recordings from the bottom of the Mariana Trench are creepy as hell


Scientists have released the first audio recordings taken from the deepest point on Earth’s surface, Challenger Deep, at the bottom of the Mariana Trench.

Filled with strange moans, low rumbles, and the occasional
high-pitched screech, the soundbites below shed rare light on the dark
world that lies 10.9 km (6.7 miles) below the crushing weight of the
Pacific Ocean… and they’re somehow both haunting and beautiful at the
same time.

On the whole, we know very little about what goes on inside the
Mariana Trench, located at the bottom of the Pacific Ocean around 322 km
(200 miles) southwest of Guam, mostly because it’s so difficult for us
to get to.
