Borrowing from Mother Nature, a team of MIT researchers has built a school of
swimming robo-fish that slip through the water just as gracefully as the real
thing, if not quite as fast.

Cymbals don’t clash of their own accord – in our world,
anyway. But the quantum world is bizarrely different. Two metal plates, placed
almost infinitesimally close together, spontaneously attract each other.
