A team of scientists has developed “robot flies” about the size of a quarter that can perch on almost any surface.
The perching works using static electricity. Each drone carries a tiny copper electrode on its head. When the electrode is energized, it creates a static charge that sticks the robot to a surface. Turning off the electrode sends the little drone back into the air.
Perching is important because it makes the robots more energy efficient. Perching is up to a thousand times more energy-efficient than hovering in place, the researchers say.

If have not done so, you should sign this petition: https://petitions.whitehouse.gov//petition/uscis-should-recognize-all-esports-legitimate-sports-so-international-players-can-come-us-p1-visas
It’s really important, the goal is to get the US to recognize eSports as real sports so that international eSports athletes can compete in the US, as many top players (like Mexican 15 year old Smash 4 prodigy MKLeo or TSM and Red Bull’s Swedish godslayer Leffen) have been denied Visas recently. It takes less than a minute to sign, and you don’t have to be from the US to sign. Please share, the petition needs 30K more signatures by the end of the week.
