A Russian cargo spacecraft, Progress 89, successfully delivered vital supplies to the International Space Station (ISS) on Saturday, providing much-needed relief for the crew aboard.

Engineering students at Switzerland's ETH Zurich have created a DNA-collecting robot fish named "Eve" that could transform how scientists study the oceans. Though the team is based 400 kilometers (250 miles) from the nearest sea, they are focused on making an impact on marine research. What is Eve? Eve is a soft robotic fish, designed to move just like a real fish. It has a silicone tail that swings side to side, powered by internal pumps, allowing it to glide smoothly through water.
