Inspired by traditional methods of drawing paper, marine engineers and biologists have developed a 12-sided, three-dimensional origami trap that can float accurately around unsuspecting sea creatures. The device (known as Rotation-Operated Dodecahedron or RAD) can be attached to the underwater rover support and operated remotely for safe capture of soft marine life, writes znaj.ua.
The device has already been successfully tested, capturing small squid, octopus and jellyfish at a depth of 700 meters in the ocean. But its design is strong enough to work at depths of up to 11 kilometers and could be easily increased to catch larger organisms.
David Gruber, a marine biologist who helped develop RAD, said that a new technology similar to this one, is the key to studying the ocean. Since the 1920s, attempts to study marine life have been based on networks, but this makes virtually no sense.
Recall that the Japanese online shop Elecom has announced the sale of a series of charging nozzles for the iPhone. Authors of the unusual device said that its main purpose is to increase the life of the cable to recharge the iPhone, preventing its bending and the room. The Cable Mania concept suggests that the owner of the iPhone or the iPad can insert the cable into a wider hollow connector. With it, the cable will be more convenient to insert into the connector and return without excessive friction.
