Scientists have developed a tiny robot prototype to that could help fight disease in the future

The robots are modeled after African trypanosomes, bacteria that can hide their flagellum.

Blood clots, cancer, and damaged brain cells - these are the last words anyone wants to hear at the doctor's office. They're also the stuff that scientists are hoping to be able to fight one daywith nanotechnology.

A newstudy released todayin the journal Nature Communications details just how scientists are hoping to transform modern medicine with very tiny robots.

Selman Sakar fromEPFLand Hen-Wei Huang fromETHZ have worked together to create prototypes of nanosized robots that could actually enter human bodies. While they haven't yet tested these little robots in people, they hope to do so soon. Perhaps, in the not too distant future, the nanosized robots might do things that are too microscopic for doctors to currently perform and are too sensitive for common drug therapies to handle.

FIRST PICTURE - Munich maniac was 'mentally ill loner obsessed with shooting sprees': Iranian-German killer, 18, had 300 rounds of ammunition in rucksack as he went on murderous rampage which ended with nine dead before he killed himself

Police have said today that the 18-year-old loner who gunned down nine people during a rampage through Munich last night was deranged and obsessed with guns, but had no links to ISIS. They said Ali David Sonboly (centre) had no known links to Islamic State. Police who searched his room (bottom right) found newspaper clippings on attacks including an article entitled 'Why do students kill?' His father works as a taxi driver and his mother works in German department store Karstadt. Police are investigating a fake Facebook advert which offered free food at the McDonald's (top left), where he killed the first of his nine victims with a 9mm Glock pistol. Terrified shoppers were seen running for their lives from the Munich Olympia Shopping Centre after hearing gunshots (bottom left). Witnesses said that the gunman screamed 'I'm German' and 'Allahu Akbar' before shooting at children. A total of 21 people were taken to hospital as a result of the incident - ten are fighting for their lives in critical condition and 16 are still receiving medical treatment.

Dresses that ruled Britain: The secrets behind the Queen's historic outfits revealed in a new exhibition at Buckingham Palace

Her bright suits and bold hats put the Duchess of Cambridge’s nude court shoes in the shade. The Queen may have turned 90, but there is little doubt she is still the ultimate style icon, as a new exhibition at Buckingham Palace from tomorrow reveals.

Her Majesty wears jewel-coloured outfits to ensure she can be seen by her subjects - and even uses them as a tool of diplomacy. Who knew that she dresses to echo the flag of the country she is visiting so as to flatter her hosts, and sometimes even has their national emblem sewn into them? 

Fashioning A Reign: 90 Years Of Style From The Queen’s Wardrobe shows off almost 80 of her outfits and 62 of her iconic hats. Here, we take a look at a glorious selection...

THE ONE-SHOULDERED DRESS 

Made from duchesse satin, lace, sequins, diamante and beads, this asymmetric crinoline-skirted gown of pale yellow and turquoise - made by Sir Norman Hartnell, her favourite couturier of the time - is a perfect example of the Queen’s Fifties fashions

Made from duchesse satin, lace, sequins, diamante and beads, this asymmetric crinoline-skirted gown of pale yellow and turquoise - made by Sir Norman Hartnell, her favourite couturier of the time - is a perfect example of the Queen’s Fifties fashions.

Worn on a state visit to the Netherlands in 1958, it features a one-shouldered bodice, the line of which is continued by a gathered panel of satin across the skirt.

The dress is appliqued with tape lace forming stylised floral motifs and is richly embroidered with heavy beading.

This, says the Royal Collection, is another perfect example of the Queen’s unique championing of British couture.

Black therapist says police shot him with his hands raised

A black therapist who was trying to calm an autistic patient in the middle of the street says he was shot by police even though he had his hands in the air and repeatedly told them that no one was armed.

The moments before the shooting were recorded on cellphone video and show Charles Kinsey lying on the ground with his arms raised, talking to his patient and police throughout the standoff with officers, who appeared to have them surrounded.

"As long as I've got my hands up, they're not going to shoot me. This is what I'm thinking. They're not going to shoot me," he told WSVN-TV from his hospital bed, where he was recovering from a gunshot wound to his leg. "Wow, was I wrong."

The shooting comes amid weeks of violence involving police. Five officers were killed in Dallas two weeks ago and three law enforcement officers were gunned down Sunday in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Before those shootings, a black man, Alton Sterling, 37, was fatally shot during a scuffle with two white officers at a convenience store. In Minnesota, 32-year-old Philando Castile, who was also black, was shot to death during a traffic stop. Cellphone videos captured Sterling's killing and aftermath of Castile's shooting, prompting nationwide protests over the treatment of blacks by police.

Mark Cuban rips Donald Trump in brutal tweetstorm during RNC speech

Mark Cuban went on a brutal tweetstorm Thursday night slamming Donald Trump during the latter's official acceptance speech at the Republican National Convention.

In a series of tweets on Thursday evening, the billionaire owner of the NBA's Dallas Mavericks mocked the Republican nominee's presentation and rhetorical style, and reassured people that Americans were "nothing like" Trump.

"@realDonaldTrump should have worked harder to make his TelePrompTer reading skills great again," Cuban wrote in one tweet.

Cuban went as far as retweeting Sen. Bernie Sanders' criticism of Trump's rhetoric, which the Vermont senator characterized as bigoted.

Here are the crazy things that this guy did to become the first person to catch all of the Pokémon in the US

Brooklyn-based Nick Johnson, who happens to be a friend of mine, has publicly declared himself to be the first Pokémon Go player to catch all of the 142 Pokémon that we know are available in the US.

According to the original video games that Pokémon Go is based on, there are 151 total monsters. We know that there are 142 you can catch in the US, plus three more exclusive to certain international regions, but nobody can account for the whereabouts of the other six.

Johnson's journey to Pokémon mastery took a lot of doing and some long nights, he tells Business Insider, but it was worth it to fulfill his childhood dream of catching 'em all.

The 2016 Republic National Convention is in the books.

After the most raucous evening of the convention Wednesday night, the final night of the four-day affair showcased Ivanka Trump, Silicon Valley billionaire Peter Thiel, and many others addressing the crowd before Donald Trump spoke to the nation for the first time as the GOP's official nominee.

Here’s some highlights from Trump’s big night.

How quitting smoking can be good for your LIVER: Those who have given up cigarettes 'drink less alcohol too'

If you're trying to quit smoking to boost your health, there might be an added benefit.

Smokers trying to kick the habit tend to give up drinking as well, a new study has found.

Ex-smokers not only drank less in the first week of stubbing out, they were less inclined to binge drink.

They were more likely to be classified as 'light drinkers' - drinking within government regulations - compared with those who were not attempting to stop smoking.

Experts said this goes against the belief that people who have quit start drinking more as a result.

Smokers who have recently quit tend to cut down on alcohol as well as cigarettes, a new study has found

Lead author Jamie Brown, from University College London, England, said: 'These results go against the commonly held view that people who stop smoking tend to drink more to compensate. 

'It's possible that they are heeding advice to try to avoid alcohol because of its link to relapse.'

Previous research has shown that smoking and drinking are linked - people associate lighting up with having a pint.

As a result those trying to quit smoking are often advised to drink less at the same time.

The study involved household surveys, where a total of 6,287 out of 31,878 people reported smoking between March 2014 and September 2015.

Of these, 144 had begun an attempt to quit smoking in the week before the survey.

They had also completed a validated questionnaire called the Alcohol Use Disorders Identification Test.

Acid attack victim's shocking injuries after horror ambush outside cinema

A man left scarred for life in an acid attack has bravely revealed the extent of his injuries.

Samir Hussain says he has been given a "life sentence" after suffering horrific burns when he was attacked outside a cinema in Surrey.

The 28-year-old must now wear an uncomfortable face mask, Get Surrey reported .

The attack took place in the car park of Crawley Leisure Park between 1 and 1.30am on August 30 last year as cinema-goers left a screening of Straight Outta Compton.

Mr Hussain has now spoken about the life-changing incident for the first time and described the "agony" he experienced as the acid burned into his flesh.

And he said it is only because he shielded his face that he was not blinded.

Mr Hussain has undergone plastic surgery and multiple skin grafts and must wear the mask constantly for at least the next 18 months.

Sensation in many parts of his face, arms and neck has been lost and his left eye now does not close properly.

Matt Damon Will Only Speak 25 Lines in 'Jason Bourne'

You know his name. And you may already know most of what he has to say in his latest movie. The title character of Jason Bourne reportedly has only 25 lines of dialogue, according to a new Guardian interview with actor Matt Damon and director Paul Greengrass.

Such silence isn't rare for an action hero. These kinds of characters are too busy moving and fighting to have a lot of conversations. Some need the one-liners, but serious guys like Bourne don't have time for quips. And he was modeled to be one step above a robotic killing machine.

So it makes sense that he's as talky as the Terminator. And good guys like Mad Max, Leon the Professional, the Driver in Drive, Snake Eyes from G.I. Joe, young Vito Corleone in The Godfather Part II and of course silent film heroes like Buster Keaton.

A 'Pokémon' Movie Is Coming From the Makers of 'Pacific Rim' and 'Warcraft'

There are very, very few video games that have ever embedded themselves so deeply into pop culture that even people who have never played a game in their life would recognize them. Pokémon is one of those rare beasts. Its popularity has spread far and wide over the last decade, evolving from games to TV shows to movies to toys and pretty much everything in between. Right now it's basically impossible to walk around a city and not be within arm's length of someone playing PokémonGo. It is a legit phenomenon that's endured for years and years and years regardless of its form.

That's why it's a little surprising Hollywood hasn't made a blockbuster movie out of Pokémonyet. Sure, there have been more than a few animated movies over the years, and the first was wildly successful, but most of them have all gone straight to DVD. That's about to change, though. PokémonGo's massive and surprisingly sudden success has once again proven how incredibly viable the property is, causing Legendary Pictures to aggressively pursue live-action rights it had already been chasing since before the game's release. Now,according to THR, they've finally closed the deal.

30 celebrities who love and endorse Donald Trump

One of the most unforgettable political moments of 2012 happened at the Republican National Convention, and it wasn't because of a politician — it was because of a celebrity.

No one can forget Clint Eastwood's odd ramblings to an empty chair, dubbed "Invisible Obama." 

This time around, the GOP has a different assortment of celebrities to bolster its presumptive presidential nominee, Donald Trump. Scott Baio and Antonio Sabato Jr. spoke Monday night, and several other reality TV stars are scheduled to appear.

Trump has found support among many celebrities, in addition to politicians and pundits — like Sarah Palin and Ann Coulter — though many aren't necessarily making their way to Cleveland this week for the RNC. Fox News reports that Kid Rock, Dave Navarro, and Mark McGrath are all scheduled to play, but it's unclear which other famous faces will be seen.

Here are 30 celebrities and entertainment figures, from Mike Tyson to Kirstie Alley, who are showing their support for Trump, whether in Cleveland or elsewhere:

How Police Officers Followed Me to the ATM to Collect N10k Bribe – Producer

In an exclusive interview with Sahara Reporters, television and film producer, Benjamin Ogunbodede, has narrated how some police officers in Lagos followed him to the ATM machine to collect a N10,000 bribe on July 16th.

According to Benjamin, he was on his way home last Friday, July 15th when he picked up a lady who was going his way. As he approached his destination, he drove into a checkpoint mounted by some mobile police officers and was puled over, and asked to hand over his drivers license which he gave to them.

They also asked for him to open his boot which he did. Seeing that he had nothing incriminating on him, the next question was his connection with the lady in his car. He said she was just someone he offered a lift. The officers then accused him of kidnapping and human trafficking. “I told them I was just giving her a lift since I was going in the same direction,” he said

He parked near the convenience store and approached the police vehicle with his weapon aimed and ready. But the vehicle was empty.
