Super fast robot ants are a breakthrough scientific invention! This army of robo-ants that can climb walls and even build things has been created by researchers in the US...and you will not believe how fast they can move!

The swarm of ants, named "Magnetically Actuated Micro-Robots", consists of 2mm ants that can be individually controlled using a central computer. They were designed to build tiny things on tiny scales, like electrical circuits or artificial cell structures.

Despite their size, each ant's movements can be controlled individually by using magnets on a circuit board. They can move rapidly on curved surfaces, up and down walls, and also on flexible materials in any direction.

In addition to climbing, these tiny robots have already built a 30 cm (11.8 inches) tall tower from carbon rods. They can also work with wood, metal, and glass, as well as electronic components.

One of their most impressive features is that they can move at super speeds in comparison to their size. How fast exactly? The robo-ants have clocked in at about 35 cm (13.7 inches) per second. That's the equivalent of a human running slightly under the speed of sound, or mach 1.

So with such a breakthrough scientific invention, how do you think this'll help both the technological world as well as our daily lives?

World's most beautiful & amazing places, the Floating City of the Future in Japan. A real life water world metropolis is here.

A British and Asian-based design firm has just come up with designs of the "Floating City" of the future. This self-sufficient, Water World-like society comes complete with farms, docks, canals, a hotel, entertainment complex, and a floating stadium for sports.

The metropolis is comprised of hexagonal and triangular modules that are separated above water with a series of canals for eco-friendly transportation. At the same time, the island is connected below the water with a series of walkways, roads, and tunnels for both pedestrians and electric cars.

Once approved, the world-class, self-sufficient eco-colony would be built about 31 miles off the coast of Hong Kong, near Macau, and is about 10 square kilometers in size. It would serve as both a residential community and tourist destination alike in which transportation to and from Hong Kong will be provided through cruise ships.

This amazing city has to be one of the most beautiful places on earth.
