What you need to know about the Oort Cloud, a giant shell of icy bodies that encircle the solar system
Humans could one day develop sufficiently-advanced space travel that can reach other stars. As they leave Earth behind, those interstellar starships must pass through the Oort Cloud that encloses the solar system, an article in Space.com explained. This huge intrasolar shell is inhabited by numerous celestial bodies. Some of these frozen rocks can match the […]

The world’s most advanced sweet pepper harvesting robot has been developed
In the near future, the sweet pepper that ends up in your dish could have been picked by a robot. The first step towards that future has been taken by European and Israeli researchers, who debuted what they call the greatest robot harvester in the world. Called SWEEPER, the yellow-and-black farm robot is the product […]

Scientists suggest that bacteria could survive in salt environments on Mars and Pluto
Bacteria are incredibly hardy little critters. They can survive and thrive in the most remote, hostile, and unimaginable environments. And if an international group of researchers is to be believed, bacteria could also be lurking in the salty areas of moons and planets in our Solar System. Recent discoveries in Mars, Jupiter’s moon Europa, and […]

New technology removes space debris using a revolutionary propulsion system
Space is getting pretty crowded. We are not simply launching more satellites and spacecraft, an article in Science Daily explained; each launch mission leaves leftover parts and stages in the orbital space of Earth. This space debris can potentially hit satellites and manned spacecraft. Such collisions damage the operational space vehicles, endanger the lives of any astronauts involved, and generate […]

The future is here: Plastic film that you can wear on your fingertips can diagnose medical conditions
From the shores of Japan comes a film so thin, it could be folded a thousand times like a traditional samurai sword. And yet the folded plastic would still be slender enough to detect light, an article in Nanowerks reported. The polymer material was developed by a research team from the RIKEN research institute. It […]

Researchers develop an autonomous bat-like robot that uses echolocation to move through the environment
Israeli researchers unveiled an autonomous robot that uses the same sensory apparatus as a bat. A Science Daily article described how the machine employs echolocation to create a constantly-updating map of the environment while moving around obstacles. Bats navigate themselves by emitting high-pitched sound and listening to the echoes created by the waves as they […]

AI system designed to manage the power of the sun
Practical fusion power requires an overseer that can keep an unblinking eye on the tokamak reactor and rein in any complication that could interrupt the production of energy. That is why the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) came up with the bright idea of developing an artificial intelligence system to handle the job. Named “Accelerated […]

“Solar flow battery” soaks up sunlight and stores it as energy for on-demand use
A joint effort between American and Saudi Arabian researchers produced a gadget that combines the functions of a battery and a solar cell. They reported that their “solar flow battery” can absorb sunlight, convert it into chemical energy, and hold the energy until there is need for it. The Science Daily article explained that the […]

Researchers develop “smart trousers” – pants with artificial muscles for people with mobility problems
In the future, pants could be made from artificial muscles that can help disabled people walk again. An article in The Guardian reported on the debut of such a pair of smart trousers, which was recently presented at a U.K. science fair. The smart pants were designed by British researchers who got the idea from the short […]

New electronic skin gives robot the same tactile ability as humans
The latest technological development from Korea is an artificial skin that can be sprayed onto the surface of a robot. According to an article in Science Daily, this easily-applied material is laden with sensors that will give robots the same sense of touch that humans enjoy. That natural ability to feel what we touch is […]
