Columbia engineers have developed a robot capable of cooking 3D-printed food using lasers. That’s right, Mechanical Engineering Professor Hod Lipson is leading the “Digital Food” team of his Creative Machines Lab in the development of a fully autonomous digital personal chef.

It even shares a similar flavor profile when compared to conventionally cooked meat.

Some speculated that the flashing emergency lights on the state patrol car confused Autopilot.
Both the new iPhone 13 Pro and iPhone 13 Pro Max boast a new protective glass coating called Ceramic Shield, which promises up to four-times better drop resistance than previous models, improved optical performance, as well as scratch resistance. Even though this material may be strong, can it withstand a big drop? Filip Koroy of Everything Apple Pro decides to find out and the results are surprising to say the least.

During World War II, massive searchlights were used to detect and track enemy aircraft, but most have never seen one in-action. They normally came in 60, 150 and 200cm sizes, all of which were capable of receiving signals from a control station. An operator would then switch the searchlight on to start the arc burning, while also ensuring that the carbons used to create it are burning correctly and that the beam is focused.
