The Volvo-owned French company, which focuses on battlefield-ready vehicles, has named its new light tank Scarabée, or beetle. It has two engines in the back - one electric and one diesel - which help it reach top speeds of 75mph, despite weighing 6.6 tonnes. Each of the vehicle's wheels are powered, which gives it its crab-like ability to drive sideways - which can be used to avoid mines with ease. A spokesperson for Aquus said: 'That way you can approach the enemy without either turning your back to him or being full front on, but you could also drive crab-like behind a ridge, for example, and yet still have your roof-top gun with its limited turn radius pointing at the enemy.'

Now scientists working on disorders can use seals as a new model system to study the 'nature vs. nurture' element of our speech development.

It is a result of a phenomena known as a Marangoni flow, which sees a liquid flow from areas of low surface tension to areas of high surface tension and causing ice crystals to detach and swirl independently. Eventually the entire bubble freezes over as the crystal aggregate.
