Aalborg University

In a display of true awesomeness, researchers from the Drone Research Lab at Denmark's Aalborg University have built a catapult that fires hobby drones at a pork roast to find out more about the safety hazards posed by the tiny aircraft to people and property.

Researchers at Aalborg University, MIT and Caltech have developed a new technique that makes the nodes of a network much smarter and adaptable, leading to internet data speeds that could be as much as 10 times faster, making communication much more secure and surveillance-proof in the process.
