hey guys my name is Steven B German here just happening this week on cnet scrape blog the nope and then researchers at Columbia University are learning how to harness the power of evaporation to power complex machine the discovery of a tiny spore found in soil bacteria that reacts to water by expanding and contracting itself has led to a breakthrough an engineering that could lead to a renaissance in water powered machines by carefully placing the spores on two strips of plastic tape they were able to control the spores movement by manipulating the moisture around the sport add water the spore expands reduce moisture and the spore contracts some of their inventions include an evaporation engine powered by water of course which can open and closed shutters another device the researchers created was the moisture mill using small strips of spores and creating a space on the mill that is high in moisture and then leaving the other side exposed to dry air they were able to build a simple evaporation powered car that could maintain its forward momentum as the spores pass through the moisture and then quickly recoil as they enter the dry air Wow it's magical read more about the evaporation machines and watch the entire video in the krave blog post now you can watch all six Star Wars movies at the same time Super Star Wars fan and filmmaker Marcus Rosen Trotter composited and mixed every episode of the star wars franchise to make star wars wars check out Marcus's imager photo gallery of the best HD stills from the video and may the force be with you and you in the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency otherwise known as DARPA is working with the Wyss Institute genetically engineer ii coli bacteria that will live inside our stomachs and help to fight off stomach bugs and alert us of poor health by changing the color of our poop the genetically engineered ecoli would be swallowed in pill form it would proliferate in your stomach if anything foreign could potentially make your stomach sick the e.coli will attack it and get rid of the intruding bacteria will also in some cases change the color of your stomach waist alerting the patient and doctor that there is a problem the genetically engineered bacteria could be useful for people traveling to other countries including our military who are susceptible to getting sick while serving overseas computer AI has mastered super mario better than any human being on this planet super mario fan and AI Brainiac sethbling has created mar io which uses a process called neural evolution to teach itself out of play super mario when it first began it didn't even know the button jump but through trial and error and using neural evolution the computer quickly learned how to fly through the level safely and without being touched by any Goomba mario's brain uses a neural network much like a human's biological brain as you can see in the top left-hand portion of the screen there's a box that is basically Mario's perception of where he is in the level bling calls this the input which is basically our eyes as mario approaches an obstacle his brain is mapping the correct response to get past the obstacle encountered in the form of controller buttons or his bling calls them the output this allows Mario to figure out the best response for any obstacles getting him through the level quickly and safely read more about the mar io AI in the crave blog post alright guys that's a show thank you very much for watching as always you could find all these news stories the students crave blog at crave calm make sure you follow crave on Twitter at crave and check out this week's crammed giveaway this week scrape give away our three custom photo products from collage calm take personal photos you're proud of and turn them into a custom canvas blanket or hard book cover go to the blog and enter to win I Varla welcome home Waller this is Rameses smell my bastard a pleasure mother I have a treat for you in war when the heat of a rolling where can't return the North bananas surinder the surrender and I accept your surrender you can head back my wrath must be lonely hello thank you but we're all family our blood ties go back thousands of years so I'd like a drink no way they our happiness spread from moat Cailin to the last part the house staff whose HP wed who comes to claim Ramsay of house Bolton
