It’s become a running joke on News For Nerds for me to include a robot story each week, just to tease Jane. But now I’ve got a robot story that even she can get excited about: How to make money from robots!

Plus, this week you get some cool video of a scientific team tagging a shark. These guys deserve every penny they’re paid.

We also answer the question of how they get the Pope smoke to be a particular color (hint: chemistry), and you’ll read about how distractions might actually be good for you.

Those stories - and more! - are all right here, down this digital highway. Click away, and get your nerd on!
