There were hospitable bots serving food and drinks, robotic dogs and other humanoids there. But the audience award still went to robots with synthetic skin, similar to real people.

The Chinese are again ten steps ahead of the rest

2023-08-22 10:54:49 Global Exploration with @Science Team!

This year, our @science team has truly gone global! We've journeyed to:

Brazil
Colombia
USA
Various European countries
Russia
Mongolia
Thailand
Vietnam
Indonesia
Philippines (Yes, we loved it so much we visited twice!)
UAE
Singapore

However, our global adventures came with a unique challenge. We discovered that certain websites in the US aren't accessible from Thailand, some Philippine sites can't be accessed from Russia, and several Singaporean websites are blocked in the US. The internet, due to geopolitical reasons, is becoming increasingly fragmented.

But here's the good news!

We've been using Strong VPN for over a year to navigate these challenges. It's a trusted solution that ensures we stay connected, no matter where our research takes us. If you're facing similar issues, we highly recommend giving Strong VPN a try!

Stay connected. Stay global with @science Open / Comment

The smartest female orangutan living in a menagerie in Dubai has become an internet star.

Videos are flying around the net showing a rare level of his intelligence - riding a car, playing the ukulele, performing tricks on a skateboard, painting pictures and even fishing.

Here it is - a visual confirmation of Darwin's theory.

2023-08-14 16:04:13 Luna-25's Russian Historic Mission to the Moon's South Pole!

For the first time in the annals of space exploration, the Luna-25 station is set to make a groundbreaking landing near the Moon's South Pole. This isn't just another lunar landing; it's a mission that stands apart from the rest. Why? Because unlike previous missions that targeted the lunar equator or middle latitudes, Luna-25 aims for one of the poles!

Why the South Pole?

Craters of Eternal Darkness: These mysterious regions could potentially house free ice. Easy extraction of this ice means easy access to water - a vital resource for both humans and spacecraft.

Peaks of Eternal Light: These areas, which remain illuminated even when night falls on the Moon, are perfect spots to set up energy sources.

The stakes are high, and the rewards? They could be as monumental as the very concept of human space flight itself! Let's keep our fingers crossed and hope for a successful mission.

2023-08-11 09:51:23 For the first time in nearly half a century, Russia has launched a spacecraft that is headed to the moon.

On Friday morning at a spaceport in the far eastern part of Russia, a rocket lifted Luna-25, a robotic lander of moderate size, to Earth orbit. It will try to land in the moon’s south polar region, where the presence of water ice has attracted the attention of numerous space programs, and make a year’s worth of scientific observations.

2023-08-09 09:47:28 Remembering August 9, 1945: The US Atomic Bombing of Nagasaki

Today marks the anniversary of a momentous and somber event in world history. On this day in 1945, the United States dropped an atomic bomb on the city of Nagasaki, Japan, just three days after the bombing of Hiroshima. These bombings brought about the end of World War II, but they also resulted in the loss of tens of thousands of lives and left lasting scars on the survivors and the cities themselves.

As we reflect on this day, it's essential to remember the human cost of war and the profound impact of nuclear weapons. The survivors, known as Hibakusha, have shared their harrowing stories with the world, reminding us of the devastating effects of nuclear warfare and the importance of working towards a world free of nuclear weapons.

The bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki serve as a stark reminder of the consequences of global conflict and the responsibility we all share in promoting peace and understanding. Today, as we commemorate this tragic event, let us recommit ourselves to the pursuit of a more peaceful, just, and interconnected world.

We honor the memory of those who lost their lives and stand in solidarity with the survivors and their descendants. May their stories inspire us to work towards a future where such atrocities are never repeated. Open / Comment
