At the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology in Zurich, scientists are building RoboEarth, a sort of Wikipedia for robots that will let them independently share instructions for tasks they’ve mastered. Needless to say, Oh shit! More

Robotic hand gets abused with hammer, left unfazed
Trust the Germans to come up with a really solid piece of engineering – we’re looking at an extremely strong hand which is capable of even withstanding hammer blows as in the video in the extended post. Of course, you can’t really expect them to use those rubber hammers that squeak upon impact, do you? This high tech robotic hand is the brainchild of the Institute of Robotics and Mechatronics at The German Aerospace Center (Deutsches Zentrum für Luft- und Raumfahrt e.V.), and unless you are super rich and need not work for a day for the rest of your life, the rest of us plebians will have to sigh wistfully at the purchase price of each hand – touted to be within the region of €70,000 to €10,000

Solar reactor produces fuel from water and carbon dioxide
A team from Caltech (California Institute of Technology) ETH Zurich and the Paul Scherrer Institute could assist the thermo-chemical production of fuels. In a paper published in the journal Science, the researchers claim that fuel can be generated over 500 cycles
