In this video, we watch the process of building a cube in just one minute. (Learn more: http://www.csail.mit.edu/soft_robotic_jumping_cube).
In future work, the jumping mechanism will be improved in order to launch the robot higher and farther than is possible with the current design. With some lightweight payloads, such as miniature cameras and other sensors, this robot can be used for various tasks such as search and rescue, surveillance, and exploration.

- For the second time, scientists have directly detected gravitational waves — ripples through the fabric of space-time, created by extreme, cataclysmic events in the distant universe (Learn more: http://mitsha.re/7qYU301i1L1). The team has determined that the incredibly faint ripple that eventually reached Earth was produced by two black holes colliding at half the speed of light, 1.4 billion light years away.
