The Ghostly Drone That Spins Almost Too Fast To See
The title of this post, is the same as this article on The Times.
This is the sub-heading.
The ‘Phantom Twist’ prototype rotates about 25 times a second while its body moves in the opposite direction — appearing as a faint haze
These two initial paragraphs add some more details.
Engineers have created a drone that almost vanishes in flight by spinning so quickly the human eye sees only a faint, translucent haze.
The body of the drone, called the Phantom Twist, rotates about 25 times a second, while its propeller spins in the opposite direction. Its inventors describe it as “morphing into a ghostly smudge that seamlessly blends into the background”.
This technology obviously works and was developed at North Western University in the United States.
This paragraph speculates on a few civilian uses.
It is, they say, intended for civilian uses. The researchers believe less conspicuous aircraft could be useful for monitoring nesting birds, surveying wilderness areas or inspecting bridges and other infrastructure without causing wildlife to scatter or prompting people to alter their behaviour.
The article then details how drones have transformed the war in Ukraine.
Jesy Nelson ‘Outraged’ After MPs Debate Muscle Condition That Affects Her Twins
The title of this post, is the same as that of this article on the BBC.
This is the sub-heading.
Former Little Mix singer Jesy Nelson says she is “heartbroken” and “outraged” by MPs, following a debate about spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) testing in parliament.
These two paragraphs add some more details.
The singer has been campaigning for newborn babies to be screened for the muscle-wasting disease after her twins, Ocean Jade and Story Monroe Nelson, were diagnosed with it.
Caught early, the condition is treatable. Without diagnosis, it can cause death within two years.
I am coeliac and I believe my youngest son, also suffered from the disease.
- His late mother also believed he was coeliac.
- But he refused to get tested.
- He died at the age of 37 from pancreatic cancer, as his weakened immune system couldn’t protect him.
- Italy has recognised the problems that undiagnosed coeliac disease causes and now tests all babies for coeliac disease and type 1 diabetes.
I wrote about it in Italy Leads The World In Screening For Coeliac Disease.
