and i'm jeff kannada and it is time for headlines Goodyear announced a new concept of some tires that'll let you drive in any direction Eagle 360 is the name of the project and Goodyear showed it off at the Geneva Auto Show earlier this week these tires don't use axles for suspension instead they would use magnetic levitation to stay in place the tire design also includes a surface that would adjust to various elements and the spherical design would help cars avoid sliding on ice or other hazardous materials sensors on the tires would register where and even send Road information to other cars this design is just a concept right now but Goodyear thinks this could make self-driving cars even safer yeah I love that part in the video where the parking lot all all the cars in the parking lot yeah because they can be so cool so cool over at MIT like we we like to check in with MIT three students have designed a flying drone that may help artists collaborate with each other even over long distances flying pantograph is a fresh take on an older concept pantographs have actually been used since the 1600s to duplicate drawings and now these MIT fluid interfaces group students have substituted a drone into that process it uses a boring old pen and paper for the artists motion tracking technology and a whiteboard marker strapped on to the drone to replicate your art the drawings can be scaled up or down to the user's specification and flying pantographs creators say this concept could lead to collaborations that were previously impossible examples of those collaborations include helping disabled people create art using eye on face tracking not on like eye conductor and also letting artists who are far away from each other work on the same piece at the same time that's so rad there's a there's a fantasy novel called the Stormlight archive and in it these characters create a psychic link and one writes something and the other miles away writes it it's like that but real science facts fiction mush mush what do you want to talk about I think these are both awesome stories I could really go either way I'm fascinated by the tire's feel like we got to go tires yeah it seems like a thing where that seems so futuristic you guys seems like it's something that might actually have be useful for everyday people like in your car so there's a lot more details about how the tires would work and what they're made of and all that stuff I think we could really get into that well we will deep dive into that on tomorrow's episode so come back and check that out you can also participate in our conversation by using our hashtag ATD yeah if you shout at us with hey TD you can talk about any of the stories that we've discussed on this week's short episodes and then if we like your tweets we will bring them in to the long episode and talk about you right in front of your faces that'll show yeah yeah hey right now it's time for our foam tog refer of the day today's chromatographer today is Gatlin who sent in this photo with their Droid RAZR MAXX also a really cool name yeah gallon I like that gallon rights hello this is a picture of my front yard at sunset that I took with my Droid RAZR MAXX also I'm student at Crescent high school not too long ago my teacher Amy gray was featured on your show with a picture for her class thank you for your hard work and I of course give you permission to use this picture oh my gosh I remember that that was so rad this is this is one of the kids we were talking our offer still stands Amy gray yeah we will FaceTime Skype in hangouts your classroom and we can do a little fun Q&A or something so email us and if you want to send your phone tog Rafi also email us tryout sina.com I just think it's so cool that the class is watching yes better than homework hey you guys are definitely gonna be want to watch gonna be want to watch you're gonna gonna be want to watch tomorrow's episode we have an amazing guest it was really a highlight of my life it's it this eve Wozniacki yeah a man who changed the world yeah we play we talk to him about some really fun stuff so definitely tune in tomorrow for that and our deep dives and it's gonna be a really fun episode yes also find us on social media where lots of fun there we promise mostly and also uh like Jeff said we'll be back tomorrow with a brand new Jacque and we're gonna deep dive in so all the fun stuff we talked about this week but until then be good-humoured bye guys
