Drones have proven their capabilities across a versatile range of tasks, from flying and scaling walls, to swimming - and now, they can even paint murals. Researchers have programmed a palm-sized quadcopter to create ink portraits using the 'stippling' technique, which requires the precise application of thousands of small dots. As the work continues, the researchers say drones could one day be used for much larger applications, helping artists to paint murals in hard-to-reach outdoor areas and on irregular surfaces. In the image above, the drone can be seen applying one of hundreds of dots onto the paper, on right. Pictured top left, the drone's rendition of late actress Grace Kelly (right) is compared with the target image (left). The quadcopter is pictured on the bottom left.

Almost 50 years ago, archaeologists excavating an ancient city just outside of St. Louis discovered a mass burial site with an unusual central feature - two bodies arranged atop a bed of beads, with several other bodies encircling them. It was once thought that the elaborate 'beaded burial' structure at Cahokia was built as a monument to male power - but now, researchers suggest this is not the case. A new analysis of the remains reveals that one of these central bodies is actually female, and researchers say the discovery of similar male-female pairs and the remains of a child indicates that women played an important role in society. The ancient city is illustrated above, and artifacts found at the site can be seen in the top left corner.
