Like a car's crumple zone, the experimental SHIELD lander is designed to absorb a hard impact.
NASA has successfully touched down on Mars nine times, relying on cutting-edge parachutes, massive airbags, and jetpacks to set spacecraft safely on the surface. Now engineers are testing whether or not the easiest way to get to the Martian surface is to crash.
Rather than slow a spacecraft

A growing number of seizures of guns made at home from 3D-printed parts are raising alarm bells for European police over an emerging threat.
For now, interest among far-right activists may be limited, say analysts - and fears of a society awash with print-it-yourself weapons remain far-fetched.
