NASA’s Perseverance Rover Finishes its First Autonomous, AI-Directed Drive

Artificial Intelligence, Astronomy, Tech /

NASA’s Perseverance rover has been exploring Mars for almost five years, yet the agency continues to push its capabilities. Recently, NASA announced that Perseverance completed its first drive planned entirely by artificial intelligence. For the demo, NASA used vision-language models (VLMs) to set rover waypoints, a task normally done by humans. The demo ran from

Rapid, Accurate Radioactive Material Localization With Drones and Robots

Drones, Robotics, Tech /

Chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear, and explosive substances (commonly referred to as CBRNE) can endanger both the public and emergency responders. In 2023, a tiny cesium capsule fell from a truck in Australia, sparking a major search. The growing number of hybrid attacks and other destabilizing activities has further intensified the threat landscape. Two research departments

If an Asteroid Hits the Moon in 2032, Earth could be Affected

Aerospace, Space & Environment /

There’s often a silver lining to any scenario. In 2032, the Moon could quite literally have one if it were struck by a 60-meter-wide asteroid. While the probability remains relatively low—about 4 percent—it’s not insignificant. The Dual Impact of a Lunar Collision Scientists are preparing for both the risks—threats to satellites and meteor fallout—and the

Hydrogel Coating Improves the Efficiency of Solar Panel Power Output

Electrical & Electronics, Engineering /

A research team at The Hong Kong Polytechnic University (PolyU) has created a low-cost, easy-to-apply hydrogel coating that improves heat dissipation in solar panels by effectively cooling “hot spots,” while also boosting power generation efficiency and contributing to Hong Kong’s urban carbon-neutrality goals. Hot spots, often caused by partial shading, significantly reduce solar panel efficiency
