Atlanta GA (SPX) Feb 12, 2024 - Scientists working with the powerful telescopes at Georgia State's Center for High Angular Resolution Astronomy (CHARA) Array have completed a survey of a group of stars suspected to have devoured most of the gas from orbiting companion stars. These sensitive measurements have directly detected the feeble glow of the cannibalized stars.

The new research, led by Postdoctoral Research Associate Robert Klement, is published in The Astrophysical Journal. The work... Читать дальше...

Lemont IL (SPX) Feb 12, 2024 - For more than five years, scientists at the South Pole Telescope in Antarctica have been observing the sky with an upgraded camera. The extended gaze toward the cosmos is picking up remnant light from the universe's early formation. Now researchers have analyzed an initial batch of data, publishing details in the journal Physical Review D. The results from this limited dataset hint at even more powerful future insights about the nature of our universe.

The telescope at the Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station... Читать дальше...

Corvallis OR (SPX) Feb 12, 2024 - Research involving Oregon State University has shown that a "swarm" of more than 100 autonomous ground and aerial robots can be supervised by one person without subjecting the individual to an undue workload. The findings represent a big step toward efficiently and economically using swarms in a range of roles from wildland firefighting to package delivery to disaster response in urban environments.

"We don't see a lot of delivery drones yet in the United States... Читать дальше...

East Lansing MI (SPX) Feb 12, 2024 - As artificial intelligence technology advances, one area lags behind: voice-activated AI. For the more than 80 million people who stutter, voice AI technologies, which are increasingly being used in job hiring practices, can still be impossible to navigate.

HeardAI, a multidisciplinary project from Michigan State University, Western Michigan University, and the nonprofit Friends: The National Association of Young People Who Stutter, has advanced to Phase... Читать дальше...

Tel Aviv (AFP) Feb 10, 2024 - Israel's army has deployed some AI-enabled military technology in combat for the first time in Gaza, raising fears about the use of autonomous weapons in modern warfare.

The army has hinted at what the new tech is being used for, with spokesman Daniel Hagari saying last month that Israel's forces were operating "above and underground simultaneously".

Huntsville AL (SPX) Feb 12, 2024 - RWhen the second CLPS (Commercial Lunar Payload Services) delivery is launched to the Moon in mid-February, its NASA payloads will include an experiment that could change how human explorers, rovers, and spacecraft independently track their precise location on the Moon and in cis-lunar space.

Demonstrating autonomous navigation, the Lunar Node-1 experiment, or LN-1, is a radio beacon designed to support precise geolocation and navigation observations for landers... Читать дальше...

Boston MA (SPX) Feb 12, 2024 - In the coming decades, NASA plans to send human crews back to the Moon, build a space station in lunar orbit, establish a permanent base on the lunar surface and - hopefully - send astronauts to Mars.

What could possibly go wrong?

Sydney, Australia (SPX) Feb 08, 2024 - In the dynamic arena of global space exploration and satellite technology, China's private space sector marked a pivotal year of achievements and breakthroughs, firmly establishing itself as a formidable force on the international stage. The journey from state-dominated endeavors to the flourishing of private enterprises in space technology showcases not only the technological prowess but also the shifting paradigms within China's approach to space exploration and commercialization.
