It’s wonderful that so many research papers and journals are moving to the open-access model. People should be able to read the research that their tax dollars fund.
But as a note of caution, not all open access is created equally. John Bohannon of Science magazine sent fake papers to 304 open-access publishers. 157 of them (at least) accepted it, despite the fact that it was 100% made up.

The world’s fastest running robot is off the leash
A relative of Boston Dynamics’ Cheetah robot, which last year managed to outpace the world’s fastest man Usain Bolt on a treadmill, is now able to run outdoors untethered. Named the WildCat, the outdoor runner is funded by the Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), and is being developed for military use.
