The most elegant solution is often the simplest. Making robots walk requires lots of hardware — in the form of motors, servos, gyroscopes, and the structure of the robot itself — and software to process those data points and translate them into movement. The Planar Elliptical Runner is a prototype bipedal robot that uses mechanical design to ditch much of the hardware and all of the software required to make it move, using only a motor and remote control.
Professional drivers — people that drive the UPS trucks, big rigs, courier services and many others — are one of the biggest employee groups in the US. With the self-driving car revolution already under way, they stand to be hit hardest in the first salvo of automation. WIRED looks at the current state of the technology, how it will affect drivers and whether autonomous vehicles are really ready for the road.
Everything must die. Death isn't limited to just the living things here on Earth — it will come to the stars and even the universe itself. White dwarfs are star corpses, what remains of a star's core after it sheds its outer layers. Far in the future, finding a suitable white dwarf to inhabit will be necessary for life as we know it.

Chris Pratt has come a long way — and not just from Parks & Recreation to Guardians of the Galaxy. Before Andy Dwyer became Star-Lord, he was teen heartthrob Harold Abbot in The WB series Everwood.

House of Cards returns to Netflix May 30, 2017.
The Alien films boast some of the darkest, most claustrophobic sets ever seen on film. The tight, cramped corridors of old spaceships and defunct military installations are nearly as terrifying as the xenomorphs themselves. Adam Savage got to see the Dreadnaught set in the process of final construction, just days before filming was scheduled to start, as crew members were putting the final touches to bring the interior of the Engineers giant spaceship to life.

Everyone loses it over visual effects. The realism, or sometimes lack thereof, is what captures audiences and sparks conversations around the watercooler. But what you see is only half — and possibly even less — of what makes a film great. Close your eyes and you can imagine the action and movements on the screen. Mute the sound and the entire context of a scene can be lost. Star Wars broke the mold not just in its visual effects, but in the depth and complexity of its sound design, creating characters and vehicles whose aural design is as recognizable as its visual design.
