Elon Musk took to his Instagram to show off the elevator that could bring your car under LA traffic as a part of The Boring Company. See it in action.

The Boring Company's goal is to build a network of tunnels to transport cars up to 30 layers deep. It would use an electric skate to move cars up to 130 mph — enough to get from Westwood to Los Angeles in just five minutes.

The giant crack that's been racing across Antarctica Larsen C ice shelf finally met its breaking point between July 10 and 12. The result was an iceberg the size of Delaware and weighing a trillion metric tons.

But that's not the end of the story. In fact, it could be the beginning of a more important, more dangerous story.

The iceberg that broke off — dubbed A68 — was just one piece of the much larger Larsen C ice shelf. Now, scientists want to know how stable is the ice shelf that has been left intact, connected to the Antarctic continent.

Recent satellite images suggest that pieces of the remaining ice shelf are already preparing to break off, creating more, smaller icebergs that will join Iceberg A68.

Moreover, a new crack has formed close to where the old crack left off. And it's headed for Bawden Ice Rise, which is a critical anchor point for the ice shelf. Scientists aren't certain the crack will reach Bawden Ice Rise, but they are keeping a close eye on it, nevertheless.

SpaceX fans are extremely curious about a new robot that keeps appearing on SpaceX's drone ship "Of Course I Still Love You." Some are calling it the "Roomba" robot while others insist it should be called "Optimus Prime." There are theories as to what this robot is for, but there's no confirmation from SpaceX itself, yet.

Following is the transcript of the video:

We reached out to SpaceX for more details about this mysterious robot, but it was unable to give us any information. However, we can tell you that SpaceX only refers to the machine as a robot and does not assign it any other name (like Roomba or Optimus Prime).

For this video, we connected with some of SpaceX's fans. Photos shown in the video were taken by Julia Bergeron (@julia_bergeron) and David Akin, University of Maryland.

The animation of how the robot might work was created and produced by Lukas Kowalski who has a YouTube called kNews Space, which features more cool animations. Following is a transcript of the video.

There’s a mysterious robot roaming about on one of SpaceX’s drone ships. Some are calling it the “Roomba” robot, while others refer to it as “Optimus Prime.” No one is certain of its real name or exactly how this robot works, but we do know one thing: SpaceX isn’t giving any details away — yet.

The new machine first attracted attention when it appeared on SpaceX’s drone ship “Of Course I Still Love You” in March. Since then, many SpaceX fans have speculated as to its purpose and function. The leading theory is that this robot helps stabilize Falcon 9 rockets after the first stage touches down so that the rough ocean waves don’t tip the rocket off balance.

If that’s the case, then this robot could save SpaceX a lot of time and effort. Right now, after a rocket touches down on one of SpaceX’s drone ships, SpaceX sends a crew out to the ship to secure the rocket before returning it to shore.

But this new robot could speed up the process. Here’s how that might work:

The robot lives on the drone ship. After a rocket landing, it exits its cubby, drives itself underneath the rocket, and secures the rocket to the ship. Now, the drone ship can immediately head back to shore as it would no longer need to wait for a crew. If SpaceX fans are right, this could be the latest self-navigating robot in SpaceX’s already impressive fleet of self-guiding rockets and self-sailing ships.

Who knows what SpaceX will build next. It probably won’t disappoint.

Recently, the Discovery Channel staged a race between 28-time Olympic-medal winner Michael Phelps and a CGI shark. George Burgess, the director for the Florida Program for Shark Research at the Florida Museum of Natural History and contributor to SharkFest, explains what would've happened to Phelps if he'd been next to a real shark.

A Yuncheng City salt lake in China's Sanxi Province is covered with white foam that looks like snow in the middle of the summer.

While scientists don't know for sure what causes all the foam, experts think it's a result of a unique mixture of algae and plankton in the salty water.

Researchers at the Chinese Academy of Geological Sciences also think a recent string of windy days in the region combined with high temperatures contributed to the mixture of conditions that created the foam.

Locals are stunned by the peculiar sight and have taken to the lake's shores to photograph the phenomenon.

During our cross-country road trip in Tesla's Model X SUV, we tried many of the all-electric car's special features. Perhaps the coolest attribute is the Model X's Autopilot feature, which definitely took some getting used to. But once we became comfortable with it, it became an essential element of the Model X experience.

Every airline has their own branding on their planes, but for the most part, they're all painted white.

Why? The light color reflects sunlight and solar radiation while the plane is in flight and keeps the cabin cool. "It's basically like putting sunblock on," MIT Aeronautics and Astronautics professor R. John Hansman told Business Insider.

Koda is a $125,000 tiny solar-powered house. It can be moved in one piece if the homeowner wants to relocate. It is 269 square feet, slightly larger than a one-car garage (200 sq ft) and the walls are made with strong concrete-timber composite panels so there's no need for a foundation.
