#Helicopter's Robotic Legs Help Stick Tricky Landings Helicopters of the future could use insectlike robotic legs to land in unlikely places like the slopes of steep hills
Touching down on uneven surfaces is something that today's helicopters are equipped just not to do, according to the Defense Advanced Projects Agency,
But robotic landing gear developed for DARPA at the Georgia Institute of technology (Georgia Tech) could better equip these aircraft to land just about anywhere.
The new landing gear features four robotic legs with bendable"knees"that turn a normal helicopter into
the legs automatically move to stabilize the aircraft, according to DARPA officials, who recently tested out the new system near the Georgia Tech campus in Atlanta."
unmanned helicopter successfully demonstrated the ability to land and take off from terrain that would be impossible to operate from with standard landing gear,"Ashish Bagai,
DARPA program manager, said in a statement. Embedded with force-sensitive contact sensors on each of its feet,
the robotic legs determine the precise angle they need to assume to keep the helicopter from tipping over
what Bagai referred to as"standard landing gear, "which typically features either retractable wheels or fixed skids (the ski-type beams sometimes seen under the fuselage of a helicopter).
Neither of these options works well on uneven terrain, which is unfortunate, because helicopters often need to land
and take off in areas like disaster zones, where there may not be any flat surfaces, according to DARPA.
The robo-insect landing gear can handle landings on irregular terrain, even if there are significant obstacles in the way,
including rocky ledges or boulders. And besides making landings more versatile, the jointed legs also significantly reduce the damage inflicted on helicopters during"hard landings,"according to DARPA.
The agency said these improved capabilities can"greatly expand"the effectiveness of helicopters used for both military and nonmilitary purposes u

#Faster, smaller, more informative A new technique invented at MIT can measure the relative positions of tiny particles as they flow through a fluidic channel,

The MIT team came up with a way to vibrate the cantilever in many different modes simultaneously,
while studying the way in which the parasites Toxoplasma gondii, which causes toxoplasmosis, and Plasmodium, which causes malaria, access vital nutrients from their host cells.
he says. o they have had to evolve ways to get around their own barriers, to gain access to these nutrients. revious research has shown that the vacuoles are selectively permeable to small molecules,
Similar research into how the related Plasmodium pathogen performs this trick had identified a so-called rotein export complexthat transports encoded proteins from the parasite into its host red blood cell,
and so we went back to look at this longstanding phenomenon of nutrient transport, Gold says. When they added dyes to the host cell,
suggesting that this small-molecule transport function had been restored. ll of this came together to strongly suggest that this protein that is involved in protein export in Plasmodium may also have an additional function in small-molecule transport,
