Type a few words, get a finished 3D design. Modern AI makes that easy, and it also hides how the result was made. A University of Sydney team says that is a problem for learning, and on November 4, 2026 it announced a tool built to fix it.
The system, called Treellis, was developed in the university's Faculty of Engineering with the University of Cambridge and Singapore Management University. The paper describing it won a Best Paper Award at ACM UIST 2026, the Symposium on User Interface So...

New Technology Creates “Cyborg Insects”
Scientists at the University of California demonstrated a new technology for creating "cyborg insects." That is, beetles implanted with miniaturized electronics that allows the insects to be controlled.
The flying beetle is powered by a wireless signal from a mobile transmitter that controls the insect. Varying impulses trigger an appropriate response from the beetle so that it flies according to its handler.
The movements of flying insects is controlled using a radio transmitter and a min...
