Robot Flies Like a Bird

The video really speaks for itself, but the long and short of it is that a German team of roboticists and aeronautics engineers have created a robot that uses wings that flap to fly.

As to the source, if you aren't familiar with TED talks, TED is a global conference that brings together the top scientists and researchers in various fields to discuss in presentations less than 20 minutes the latest advances in their fields. These talks are then posted for free online. There are over 900 of them published at this point, so no matter where your interests lie, you're sure to find something that is fascinating to you.
