  • Engineers from the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Science (SEAS) have created a robotic bee, or RoboBee, that can fly and swim as well.

    The RoboBee has been flying around for some time. However, engineers have strived to modify the paper clip-sized robot in order to make it swim without any damages. In order to create this aerial and aquatic robot, the researchers studied animals that can also fly and swim, such as the puffin. Therefore, they came to the conclusion that in order to make the microbot fly, they needed only to adapt the amount of times the wings flapped in and out of water.

  • The Honolulu Fire Dept. reports that aย visitorย died after being found in waters off Spitting Caves.

    The call came in at 2:51 p.m. Saturday of a swimmer in distress. Five males went swimming and one of them was having trouble in the water.

    The 21-year-old man from Washington state apparently was underwater for more than a half-hour. Rescue crews were able to retrieve the unresponsive swimmer and took him to the Hawaii Kai boat ramp.

    โ€œYou know, itโ€™s just, people see these places on social media, and they think they can handle it, they donโ€™t understand the ocean and the currents that we have here,โ€ said Battalion Chief John Bowers.
