In The Go Jetters Dance in Red Square, the Go Jetters crew visits Saint Basil's Cathedral in Red Square, Moscow, Russia. Red Square is full of history, and Saint Basil's looks like a magical, colorful castle with its bright, swirling towers. Built over 500 years ago by Ivan the Terrible, it’s a one-of-a-kind building you won’t find anywhere else in Russia. You’ll also learn about Cossack dancing, a fun, high-energy tradition that started in the 16th century! This video is excerpted from BBC’s Go Jetters, a series that follows the adventures of four plucky international heroes as they travel the globe visiting the world’s most famous landmarks with their friend and mentor, Ubercorn, a disco-dancing unicorn.
The article "Top 10: Which Animals Have the Strongest Bite?" from BBC's Science Focus ranks animals with the most powerful bite forces. It measures bite strength in pounds per square inch (PSI), revealing how creatures like crocodiles and hyenas use their powerful jaws to hunt and survive.
It’s been a summer of fires all over the world, and Canada is no exception, as wildfires swept through western Canada, officials say some of them spread with frightening speed.
Thousands have been forced to leave their homes as fires move through remote areas. One resident described watching a fire grow from about 50 hectares to 5,000 hectares — that’s about 0.2 to 20 square miles — in only two to three hours. Think about something growing to 100 times its size in the time it takes to watch a movie!
Of course, these are scary by themselves, but they're part of an even larger problem. Earlier in the summer, about 200 fires burned around Ontario, and smoke traveled hundreds of miles, affecting places as far south as Minnesota and New York. In British Columbia alone, officials said there had been 70 new fires in seven days and 105 active wildfires across the province.
The fires triggered a massive response — more than 2,000 people across many different jobs, including firefighters, aviation teams, heavy-equipment crews, and people protecting buildings — have been working to help contain the damage. It’s great there are brave individuals helping, but they may not have so much time to rest. Wildfires aren’t new, but they are becoming more common and more severe as the climate changes.
It’s officially the “Beijing International Automotive Exhibition,” but its friends call it “Auto China,” and it’s now the largest car show in the world. Nearly 1000 companies flock to the exhibits taking up more than 380,000 square meters, or over 50 football fields! Or 1,246,719 feet and 50 soccer fields, if you’re from America! Or 9,329,989 beep-boop-zoinks and 50 astro-space-ball fields if you’re a Martian from outer space! Any way you spin it, this car show is a big deal, and there were two standout trends.
The first was electric vehicles. There’s always been an issue with charging, as makers have tried to maximize how far cars can travel on single charge while minimizing how long that charge takes. Now, a company called BYD claims to have an ultra-fast charging system that can provide 400 km of range with only 5 minutes of charging. What’s more, it’s designed to operate under extreme weather conditions. Since batteries are usually sensitive to high or low temperatures, addressing this is a major step in making electric vehicles as reliable as gas cars.
The other big topic was also fully autonomous, or self-driving cars. The company Geely developed a self-driving car built specifically for ride-hailing, so there’s no steering wheel or driver’s seat. That means you can pick your nose without fear of the driver judging you! Xpeng’s driverless car uses a combination of lasers, radar, and cameras to build a real time picture of the road, but we hope it works just as well in the clouds, because they may be extending this technology into flying cars as early as next year. It’s a bird! It’s a plane! No, it’s just my Uber! That’s one way to beat traffic.
The new 4×4 Rubik's Cube has more layers than the classic 3×3, which makes it harder to solve. A 22-year-old student named Matt Pidden decided to build a robot that could solve one — and he designed, built, and programmed the whole thing in just 15 weeks as a school project. He named it "the Revenger."
The robot is a box with four mechanical "hands" that reach in from the sides to grip the cube. Two cameras scan the cube so the Revenger knows where every colored square is. Then a program Matt wrote figures out the fastest way to solve it, and the robot twists each side until the cube is solved.
The Revenger solved the cube in 55 seconds, breaking the old robot record of 1 minute and 18 seconds, set back in 2015. That's impressive — but it's still way behind the human world record of 15.71 seconds. So no need to worry about robots taking over the world just yet.
