    MIT builds gum-sized swimming robot powered by living mouse muscle●🐟 NEW: # MIT engineers built a # robot swimmer the size of a stick of gum, powered by a single sheet of living # mouse mMmastodonTechnologyRobotics358 min ago

    MIT engineers have unveiled a tiny robotic swimmer about the size of a stick of gum, driven by a single sheet of living mouse muscle tissue less than 15 micrometers thick. Blue light at 470 nanometers makes the muscle cells contract, bending gel fins that let the robot steer through a maze at around four body lengths per minute. The work highlights how living tissue can power miniature soft robots for biomedical or research uses.

    Security Breach Highlights Risks of Live Network Fixes●Security Breach: Network Security - Don't Fix the Engine While The Plane is Flying✉newsTechnologyCybersecurity1 h ago

    A network security breach is prompting discussion in manufacturing and business technology circles, with the warning that organisations should not attempt to fix security flaws on live systems while operations continue. The metaphor used is that one should not repair an engine while the plane is flying, stressing the danger of patching critical infrastructure without taking it offline.

    Quake ported to safe Rust and playable in the browser●Show HN: Quake ported to safe Rust, playable in browserYhn70just now

    A developer has ported the classic 1996 shooter Quake to safe Rust, with the game running directly in a web browser via a live demo. The project rewrites the original engine without unsafe code, drawing interest from the Rust and game engine communities who see it as a showcase for Rust's suitability for large codebase ports and WebAssembly delivery.

    Porsche Cancels Combustion 718 Revival, Electric Model Due 2027▼Porsche Cancels Internal Combustion 718 Revival, Electric Midships To Go Live in 2027✉newsLifeAutos17 min ago

    Porsche has scrapped plans to bring back a gasoline-powered 718, dropping any internal combustion revival of its mid-engine sports car. Instead, the next-generation 718 will go fully electric, with the new model scheduled to launch in 2027. The move underscores the brand's accelerating shift toward electrification across its two-seater lineup.

    Bigger, male dogs age faster, epigenetic study finds▼Epigenetics Underlies Comparatively Accelerated Molecular Aging in Larger and Male Dogs✉newsScienceBiology53 min ago

    A study reported in Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology News finds that epigenetic changes drive faster molecular aging in large dogs and in male dogs. The research links DNA methylation patterns to why lifespan varies with body size and sex across breeds, shedding light on aging mechanisms that may apply to other mammals, including humans.

    RTMP, SRT and WHIP: comparing video ingest protocols●How RTMP, SRT and WHIP ingest protocols work — their latency differences and the scenarios each fits. # webrtc # cdn # vMmastodonTechnologySoftware26 h ago

    A technical breakdown explains how three video ingest protocols — RTMP, SRT and WHIP — actually work, highlighting their latency differences and the situations each is best suited for. RTMP remains common for standard streaming uploads, SRT offers reliable low-latency transport over poor networks, and WHIP brings WebRTC-based ingest for near-real-time use cases. The guide is aimed at developers and engineers choosing transport for live video.
