Armored tanks are built to protect, but they weren't designed to manoeuvre through rough terrain or avoid incoming threats. New concept vehicles have dropped the extra thick steel padding, allowing future machines to travel over 95 percent of available terrain and with more speed. Created by the Defense Advanced Research Project Agency (DARPA), the Ground X-Vehicle Technology program is working to produce'nimble, fast and smart' combat trucks that are able to shield themselves from enemies and deflect targeted missiles. A new concept design drops the extra thick steel padding from the machines, allowing the future fighting vehicles to travel over 95 percent of available terrain and with more speed.

Machine Learning (ML) is a field of computer science that came out of research into Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Big Data analytics. ML focuses on the creation of models that have been defined by the deduction of algorithms during the analysis of data by a computer system. The resultant model has utility in its ability to be applied to new datasets and thus the potential for valuable insights to be gleaned from the data. Supervised Learning Supervised learning uses a pre-labelled dataset as an input to the system and the resultant model is the result of mapping the inputs to the outputs. Labels are used to identify the correct answers to the question that is to be posed to the system on a historical dataset.

Last month we heard about DRU, the Domino's delivery robot that's getting a trial run in Australia. The idea may seem silly, but some new restaurant industry numbers highlight the growing importance of food delivery in an age when consumers expect online ordering and rapid to-their-door service. As consumers get more comfortable with autonomous delivery (which is on the way, despite lots of skepticism), a restaurant industry that already uses state of the art logistics services could begin adding delivery robots to their operations in the next decade. According to information provided by 1010data, our hunger for the pies is growing. Domino's, Pizza Hut, and Papa John's combined to account for 45.1% of total food delivery sales, up from 40.3% in 2014.

Robotic killers that detect feral cats, spray their fur with poison and rely on them to essentially lick themselves to death have been deployed in the Australian desert for the first time. Feral cats are one of the biggest threats to many of Australia's endangered species, killing millions of animals every day throughout the country – and controlling them has proved difficult. It took John Read, an ecologist seven years to invent and produce four of the "grooming traps". After extensive testing, he has switched on the first one in a nature reserve in south-west Queensland. "Cats are hard-wired to hunt," Read said.

Most singles use Tinder or some other dating site, but that doesn't mean they want to tell everyone. Following a rollout of a test feature in Australia, Tinder received complaints that the app was outing users to their Facebook friends. After using'Tinder Social', members' names and dating profiles were added to a list that was shared with their Facebook friends who also use the app – exposing who is swiping for dates. Tinder is testing a new feature in Australian that lets users organize group dates, but the new feature is also outing them to their Facebook friends. By using'Tinder Social', users' names and dating profiles are being added to a public list that is shared with their Facebook friends who also use the app Tinder is testing a new feature in Australian that lets users organize group dates, but the new feature is also outing them to their Facebook friends.

Nasa has announced that it has found evidence of flowing water on Mars. Scientists have long speculated that Recurring Slope Lineae -- or dark patches -- on Mars were made up of briny water but the new findings prove that those patches are caused by liquid water, which it has established by finding hydrated salts. Several hundred camped outside the London store in Covent Garden. The 6s will have new features like a vastly improved camera and a pressure-sensitive "3D Touch" display

Tinder, the dating app notorious for translating physical attraction into the swipe of a single fingertip, has launched a group dating feature. Tinder Social has been rolled out on a trial basis in Australia, but has been met with alarm after users realised the new feature exposes Facebook friends that also use the app. In a blog post announcing the launch of Tinder Social, the company presents the function as a means to meet people on a platonic basis, promising to take "an average night out with your friends to the next level". Users included in the trial are now able to join public groups consisting of Facebook contacts, and others can add them to these groups without permission. Crucially, these features are opt-out rather than opt-in; Tinder might out a person as a user of its app before an individual has a chance to turn the feature off.

Tinder wants to help you go out and bring along some friends. The popular dating app is expanding beyond one-to-one matches and looking to connect groups. Called Tinder Social, the new feature lets users create a group of people that includes everyone's pictures and names -- pulled from users' Tinder profiles -- as well as a location of where you are interested in going for the night. The app then functions the same as one-to-one matching, where users can swipe and match with other nearby groups that are interested in a night out. Once you're matched, you can chat with everyone in the group.

Plants have memories of past events that they can pass onto their offspring. For instance, 'mother' plants can sense temperature changes and use that information to form long-term memories that help future generation flower at the right time. Now, new research has found a prions, a protein linked to mad cow disease, could be responsible for how plants form memories. Plants have memories of past events that they can pass onto their offspring. Prions are a type of protein that fold under certain conditions. They can also trigger other proteins around them to fold as well.

They had invented--or, rather, discovered; no, really they'd just inexplicably gone to the trouble of creating--a die with a hundred and twenty sides. "What do you use it for?" "We have no idea," he answered. Futility notwithstanding, the d120 is billed as the "ultimate fair die allowed by Mother Nature (i.e., mathematics!)," At two inches in diameter and a little more than three ounces in weight, the d120 casts an impressive but not a runaway roll--even with so many sides, all of them skinny right triangles, the die is far from spherical.
