Scientists at the Beijing Institute of Technology have created radio-controlled cyborg bees, blending entomology and robotics. The key component is an ultralight neural interface, weighing 74 mg, attached to the bee’s back with three needles connected to its brain. This interface achieves 90% accuracy in controlling flight, marking a breakthrough in insect control.
Astronomers led by Tomas Stolker from Leiden University have discovered the exoplanet HD 135344 Ab, a gas giant 10 times the mass of Jupiter, located 440 light-years away in the constellation Lupus. This planet, orbiting a 12-million-year-old star A in the binary system HD 135344 AB, sheds light on planet formation in such systems. The […]
The Chang’e-6 mission returned about 2 kg of soil from the South Pole-Aitken (SPA) Basin, the Moon’s largest crater, spanning 2,500 km, providing new insights into the geology of the lunar far side. Research published in “Nature” explains the asymmetry between the Moon’s sides, where the far side’s crust is thicker and its terrain more […]
String theory, which aims to unify the Standard Model and general relativity, faces criticism due to a lack of experimental evidence. The Standard Model describes electromagnetism, strong and weak nuclear interactions, but excludes gravity, which general relativity explains but is incompatible with quantum mechanics.
Chinese scientists from the Aerospace Information Research Institute have developed an innovative high-speed radio communication system that remains invisible to radio interception methods. Using a “smart” metamaterial surface composed of hundreds of tunable tiles, the system encodes messages into the radar echo of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) satellites.
Mathematician Lorenzo Gavassino from Vanderbilt University has proposed a theory that time travel along closed timelike curves (CTCs) leaves no memories or evidence due to fundamental laws of physics. The second law of thermodynamics requires that a system’s entropy return to its original state, making all processes reversible. This means a traveler cannot retain memories […
