Nanotech roundup: a robotic gecko and clues to the origins of life on Earth
This month's roundup includes a futuristic robot and a surprisingly simple, needle-free way to diagnose malariaSpace robotsRobots that mimic animal movement could in future be deployed for dangerous missions such as search and rescue in disaster areas or for repair tasks in difficult environments, such as underwater or in space. A team at Simon Fraser University in Burnaby, Canada, has developed a six-legged robot called Abigaille, which has gecko-like sticky footpads and is destined to crawl on the exterior of spacecraft to carry out repair and maintenance jobs. Its performance in space-like conditions, in vacuum and at e...

Climate change 'might bring rise in UK mosquito-borne diseases'
Conclusion Overall, this review provides insights into how climate change might lead to the transmission of tropical diseases in what are currently temperate parts of the world, such as the UK. Predicting what may happen in the future can help countries make sure they are prepared for such an eventuality. This review was informed by a search for relevant literature, but may not have captured or included all relevant studies. Most of the studies were modelling studies, which are reliant on various assumptions that may or may not turn out to be correct. It's not possible to say with any certainty what will occur in the fut...
