national satellite test facility. now, how do you bring mufasa to life? of the disney blockbuster that has no sets and no locations.

why... so it wasn't intended that we are so close to nature, but, yes. there you go. of all shapes and sizes. they've undergone years of testing. and in space.

if it's beyond, it's impossible. and we're on a tour to find out about some of those tests in this giant testing centre, it is giant. it's massive. yeah. so it's about... so this allows us to test

satellites, naturally — yes, any signals. yeah, once we close the doors behind us, this room will be fully shielded. no—one can hear you scream. the equipment in this room allows dom and his team and it's just foam. give it a squeeze. yeah. so it's... how many of these are on the walls? it looks like it.

to different areas for testing — in this part of the research centre, they can point 48 of these speakers at the satellite to see the noise played does recreate the sound frequencies that would occur during blast—off. but because a lot of it is... you can get very high frequencies. bolts will undo and... literally... yes. absolutely, yeah. because we go...

we have a very big blue door. it's, effectively... i believe it's sort of like a stage door that you might find on a movie set, but it, along with very thick walls for internal and extremely thick for going outside, mean that we can run a test you'll hear a rumble. one of the biggest features of this new testing facility it's so big, the building had to be constructed around it. why are we so suited and booted for this task? yeah, it is essentially to stop the fallout of the dirtiest things we have, which is humans.

this item isn't one that's going on a planetary lander, so this is our thermal vacuum chamber — rachel is working on the ariel mission, which will see a satellite spend four years observing exoplanets, they will use an engineering test model in this room the first step is to warm it up. so this chamber can go up to 100 celsius in hot.

using liquid nitrogen. but for ariel, we need to go even colder because it's an infrared mission. it's predicted that over the next decade, will increase by thousands. they have a role in everyday life, or warning us when life—threatening weather is on the way. come, kiara. i'll tell you a story. a story of destiny that - would change our lives forever. hello! on mufasa: the lion king. you are filming a movie,

in that virtual environment. the director having a monitor so he could see what was.--” you had an empty volume, so it was him going around and finding his angles. we developed a system called quadcap, and react with each other. but on your screen, it would be the animals.

we're trapped! we have to swim. no, we have to fight. if we fight, we die. from this material. that was the technical challenges.

but there was also the creative challenges with barryjenkins and his dop, james laxton. it moves a lot. so we needed to make sure that those assets, to a wide view, to come to a very close angle just on the lion, the numbers are just incredible.

coming out of the farm. mufasa, it is your time. time for a look news. deepseek has spooked markets says it is and donald trump says it is a wake—up call. deepseek seem to on two queries with rest on two queries with advanced reasoning skills like chatgpt. its creators claim it significantly less to make using fewer specialised

she laughs becoming a milk influencer, or a dairy queen, came sort of by accident. i posted one video in 2023 about my favourite milk. i think i titled it best milk ever. i don't know if y'all have heard of the best milk ever, i don't know if you can see this. i was like, "0k, keep rolling with it." mm—hm. yep. she's been able to monetise her videos and sign deals with brands. in total, from 2024, i've made like five figures off of tiktok.

by up to 20%. but they say they are now gaining traction in 2024, when we started tiktok, we had 34 users, 34 followers. but the party may be about to end. or face a ban.

to kick in the day before the winner of the presidential election took office. it's not a pleasant scenario, but that's the structure you know, donald trump with. hello. hi. welcome to chick—fil—a. can i take your order? yeah. tiktok appealed to trump, who vowed to save the platform, telling its 170 million american users it was fortunate and then it was back. but not everyone agrees. tiktok didn't choose the winner. and milktok will last. it's not a community

it doesn't translate to facebook. i think it would be a real struggle for us to capture in a different social media channel. laughter i know. on other platforms. a lesson learned by many american tiktokers caught up in a political storm. nice.

by asking the question... that's actually more lifelike? something that actually feels like life and that moves like life? it's mind—boggling why we haven't worked on this more. and that's why i've come to meet pele. footballing legs. i think i've come across. or the knees, but this actually takes a lot of power. the joint has to twist those long limbs from just one end. pele, though, has muscles —

one on either side that pull the leg this takes a lot less energy. so here's how it works. if those electrodes are pulled together, they squeeze all the oil into one part of the bag, and the whole bag if you want to make it really bio—inspired — it needs to be muscles, because most of it in nature is driven by muscles which are contracting, uses rotary motion. i think if you want to have something with the same amount of flexibility and motion, degrees of freedom, you need

to be quite flexible. and eth zurich. climbs over them. no, itjust bumps into things and bounces over them. chuckling why...

and there is charges in the oil of the pouch and in the insulating film that kind of accumulate and then stick together, just like... sometimes you have, like, clingfilm sticking to something it sounds very much like why you have a massage yeah. just to free it all up. yeah. to nature, but, yes. there you go. everyone needs a massage. now, while pele boings in the air like he just doesn't care, the rest of the robots around here like metal, for example.

and that's a problem if you're sending them out into the real world. because if they bang into something, they might damage themselves. they might damage you. that is why soft robotics makes sense, because you can send something, nobody gets hurt. a bit of give on your gripper- your hand, the floor... but there is a problem. now, this is how this type of 3d—printing it's not perfect at the top.

you can't use materials that are so gooey that when you flatten them off, they getjammed up in the mechanism and clog everything up. until now. so now we can 3d—print with really gooey materials. particle on top to even out the imperfections. with a variety of soft and hard parts — bones,

don't like humans? no problem. here's a pup that's positively pneumatic. yes. yeah. for example, this inflates and it would move this leg forward. to its original position. back quite quickly to its original shape. yes. these robots still need training to understand and navigate their environments and cope with the unpredictability of the real world. where thousands of hands can practise and make mistakes in a fraction of the time one real one could. although, even if they do get things wrong, hopefully, it's only their pride that will get hurt.

and that's it from us for now — thanks for watching and we'll see you soon. hello there. thursday was a cold and frosty start, this was highland thursday afternoon. hardly a cloud in the sky as well, but i suspect there's going to be more cloud for england and wales. that in turn will bring some wintry flurries,

so the high pressure and we're going to see a fresher wind developing and coming in from the southeasterly. and with wind gusts for some in excess of 30 miles an hour, it's going to really take the edge off the feel of the weather as well. western fringes will keep some sunshine. clear skies and sunny spells after a frosty start for northern ireland and scotland. but at the same time, that brisk easterly wind could drive in a cluster of showers as we go through the day, it really will make it feel quite cold, best of the sunshine, best of the warmth to the northwest. but it's worth bearing in mind, through the evening hours, we'll see a rash of showers moving their way steadily west,

of snow settling for first thing on saturday morning. we keep those clear skies, so saturday to the northwest quite a lot of cloud to begin with on saturday. a little bit of nuisance rain and then hopefully we will see a little bit of brightness developing into the southeast by the end of the day. the winds not quite as strong either. we keep this area of high pressure, which will continue to keep things relatively quiet so, as we go through the week ahead, a lot of dry weather around,
