➀ 17-year-old Cesare Mencarini developed a small nuclear fusion reactor as part of his A-Levels, aiming to generate neutrons for his Extended Project Qualification (EPQ). ➁ The reactor, built in a school environment, achieved plasma and was showcased at the Cambridge Science Festival. ➂ Mencarini plans to pursue a degree in engineering and aims to work at the University of Bristol’s Interface and Analysis Centre.

1. Scientists have developed a tiny flying robot inspired by rhinoceros beetles, featuring foldable wings that can be used for search and rescue missions in confined spaces. 2. The robot mimics the passive wing deployment mechanism of beetles, allowing it to fold its wings when resting and deploy them for flight. 3. This innovation could enable the robot to enter collapsed buildings and switch to crawling mode for further exploration.
