Astronomers have orchestrated a groundbreaking discovery, identifying what could be two of the earliest building blocks of the Milky Way galaxy. Named “Shakti” and “Shiva” after the Hindu deities representing cosmic power and transformation, these remnants are believed to have merged with a nascent Milky Way between 12 and 13 billion years ago. This revelation sheds light on the galaxy’s formative years, akin to piecing together the first movements of a grand symphony of galactic evolution.
Engineers aim to give robots a bit of common sense when faced with situations that push them off their trained path, so they can self-correct after missteps and carry on with their chores. The team’s method connects robot motion data with the common sense knowledge of large language models, or LLMs.
The iconic images of the Apollo 11 moon landing captivated a global audience, but the technology behind those broadcasts was far from cutting-edge. Grainy, low-resolution footage was all the world could manage in 1969. Fast forward to today, where high-definition live streaming is commonplace, and the expectations for the next generation of lunar exploration have skyrocketed. This article explores the ambitious quest to establish a mobile network on the Moon, enabling real-time, high-resolution communication for future lunar explorers.
The human gut is a bustling metropolis, teeming with trillions of microscopic residents. This intricate ecosystem, known as the gut microbiome, plays a critical role in our overall health, impacting digestion, immune function, and even mental well-being. However, new research suggests a concerning trend: people in industrialized societies may be losing crucial players in this microscopic orchestra, leading to a potential decline in gut health.
