Their latest creation, the VelociRoACH, is made primarily out of cardboard and measures just 10 cm long, yet it can run 2.7 meters per second, making it the fastest robot of its size, capable of covering 26 times its body length in a single second.  <a href="/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/velociroach-fast-insect-robot/25795/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="25760"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/games/" style="float: left; ">GAMES</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/gcw-zero-handheld-emulator-games/25760/">GCW Zero handheld plays all your favorite classic games</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/author/jason-falconer/">Jason Falconer</a></div> <div class="date">January 11, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_comments"><a href="/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/gcw-zero-handheld-emulator-games/25760/#comments">3 Comments</a></div> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/gcw-zero-handheld-emulator-games/25760/pictures">8 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/gcw-zero-handheld-emulator-games/25760/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116041234im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/gcw-zero-handheld.jpg" title="Duke Nukem 3D played on the GCW Zero" alt="Duke Nukem 3D played on the GCW Zero"/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> There's an avalanche of new gaming devices coming our way, from <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/ces-gaming-tablet-round-up/25720/" target="_blank">tablets with controller attachments</a> to <a href="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/gamestick-console/25614/" target="_blank">Android-based consoles</a> that can fit in the palm of your hand.

On the flipside, producing hydrogen with fossil fuels not only releases CO2 as a byproduct, but is unsustainable, negating hydrogen's green potential. However, hydrogen may yet make good on its promise thanks to a group of scientists at the University of Cambridge.  <a href="/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/cambridge-hydrogen-cobalt-catalyst/25723/" class="readmore_link">Read More</a> </p> </div> </div> <div class="summary_item " data-article="25736"> <div class="summary_details"> <div class="sd_top"> <a class="vsmall" href="/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/goodthinking/" style="float: left; ">GOOD THINKING</a> </div> <div class="clear_both"> <h2><a href="/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/kickstarter-2012-year-in-review/25736/">Looking back at Kickstarter's greatest hits of 2012</a></h2> <div class="summary_details_left"> <div>By <a href="/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/author/jason-falconer/">Jason Falconer</a></div> <div class="date">January 10, 2013</div> </div> <div class="summary_details_right"> <div class="has_pictures"><a href="/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/kickstarter-2012-year-in-review/25736/pictures">7 Pictures</a></div> </div> </div> </div> <a class="noback hero_link" href="/web/20130116041234/http://www.gizmag.com/kickstarter-2012-year-in-review/25736/"><img src="https://web.archive.org/web/20130116041234im_/http://images.gizmag.com/hero/kickstarter-yir-2012.jpg" title="Formlabs' 3D printer was an explosive success on Kickstarter, but may be in trouble thanks..." alt="Formlabs' 3D printer was an explosive success on Kickstarter, but may be in trouble thanks..."/></a> <div class="summary"> <p> Kickstarter, the popular crowd-funding site, has assembled a list of 2012's greatest hits which we've narrowed down to five of the more technology-related projects.
