"Flexible Robot Squeezes into Narrow Spaces with Shape-Shifting Abilities"

Engineers at the University of Colorado Boulder have developed CLARI, a tiny, squishable robot that can change its shape to squeeze through narrow gaps. Weighing less than a Ping Pong ball, several CLARI robots can fit in the palm of your hand. The modular design allows for customization and the addition of more legs, potentially creating spider-like robots. The researchers envision these shape-changing robots being used in various scenarios, including aiding first responders after disasters and exploring spaces that were previously inaccessible.

"Nimona": A Masterful Animated Adventure with Punk Spirit and Surprising Villains

Nimona, a shape-shifting monster with hot pink hair, brings a fresh dose of attitude to the inclusive messaging trend in animated movies. Voiced by Chloë Grace Moretz, Nimona teams up with ex-knight Ballister Boldheart to inflict vengeance on the society that's been demonizing her for roughly a millennium. The irreverent tone keeps the movie from feeling sanctimonious, and the animation style blends details from the graphic novel with medieval designs. The film's message is that if you call someone a monster, they're liable to wind up behaving like one.
