 Hiroshi Kondo, a 24-year-old Japanese artist, has created a stunning time-lapse video showcasing Tokyo's vibrant streets and neon lights. The video features mesmerizing patterns of light and color, blending traditional and modern elements. Kondo used a technique called "hypnotic footage" to create the dreamlike atmosphere. Scientists have also developed super-strong robots that can carry over 100 times their own weight, which could be used in emergencies or construction sites. Additionally, a new footage shows a robot slowly pulling an older model up a wall, demonstrating its incredible strength.
