Extrémní experiment: Co zkusit osídlit Enceladus životem?

Astrobiologové říkají, že Saturnův Enceladus nejspíš alespoň teoreticky splňuje podmínky, které by umožnily výskyt organismů pozemského typu. Máme v podstatě dvě možnosti. Můžeme tam pátrat po původních organismech, v podstatě navěky, protože stále bude zbývat nějaká lokalita nebo metoda, co jsme ještě nezkusili.

Robots struggle with endurance. Feeding them could help

Earlier this year, a robot completed a half-marathon in Beijing in just under 2 hours and 40 minutes. That’s slower than the human winner, who clocked in at just over an hour—but it’s still a remarkable feat. Many recreational runners would be proud of that time. The robot kept its pace for more than 13 miles (21 kilometers).

Is that website actually down? This essential web tool will tell you

Everyone’s always talking about new tools, but some of the best tools are the classic ones—incredibly useful things that have been around for ages. These are the tools that have stood the test of time and are just as handy today as they were 20 years ago.

Inside Zipline’s high-tech drone factory where delivery innovation takes flight

If you think drones are noisy in flight, try building and testing them. During a visit last month to the drone startup Zipline’s factory in South San Francisco, California, industrial noise welled up in corners of the facility—the roar of a wind tunnel, the rhythmic clack of a test rig simulating motor casing wear, and other mechanical sounds in a symphony of engineering.
