🤖 Soft robots jump endlessly with just light

Researchers at North Carolina State University developed soft robots that jump repeatedly when exposed to infrared light. These teardrop-shaped devices function autonomously across challenging terrains like grass and sand. The system achieves vertical jumps over 80 times the body height, demonstrated on various surfaces. This design uses a liquid crystal elastomer ring and a V-shaped tail to recycle energy without motors or batteries. The technology could eventually be used for swarm robotics and environmental navigation. 🤖

❤️ First responders didn't boost survival after cardiac arrest

The HeartRunner trial found that community first responders did not significantly improve 30-day survival after out-of-hospital cardiac arrest. This study took place in the Capital Region of Denmark and analyzed 2,060 suspected cardiac arrests on August 31, 2026. While survival rates were similar across different arrival times, responders doubled the rate of bystander defibrillation. Researchers suggest the benefit heavily depends on the time available before ambulance arrival. Future studies are needed in areas with slower emergency response times. 🚑
