| Dog training methods help researchers teach robots to learn new tricks Posted: 26 Oct 2020 10:58 AM PDT With a training technique commonly used to teach dogs to sit and stay, computer scientists showed a robot how to teach itself several new tricks, including stacking blocks. With the method, the robot, named Spot, was able to learn in days what typically takes a month. |
| Posted: 26 Oct 2020 10:57 AM PDT Researchers continue to advance the science of single-molecule machines with a new lineup of nanocars, in anticipation of the next international Nanocar Race in 2022. |
| Mmore complete view of massive asteroid Psyche Posted: 26 Oct 2020 10:57 AM PDT A new study discusses several new views of the asteroid 16 Psyche, including the first ultra-violet observations. The study paints a clearer view of the asteroid than was previously available. |
| Data reveals evidence of molecular absorption in the atmosphere of a hot Neptune Posted: 26 Oct 2020 08:42 AM PDT An international team of scientists recently measured the spectrum of the atmosphere of a rare hot Neptune exoplanet, whose discovery by NASA's Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) was announced just last month. |
| Robots help to answer age-old question of why fish school Posted: 26 Oct 2020 05:14 AM PDT A new study using biomimetic fish-like robots shows that swimming closely together offers fish hydrodynamic benefits. |
| New study details atmosphere on 'hot Neptune' 260 light years away that 'shouldn't exist' Posted: 23 Oct 2020 09:31 AM PDT Astronomers have crunched data from NASA's TESS and Spitzer space telescopes to portray for the first time the atmosphere of a highly unusual kind of exoplanet dubbed a 'hot Neptune.' |
| Lab-grown mini-lungs mimic the real thing -- right down to coronavirus infection Posted: 22 Oct 2020 11:45 AM PDT Researchers have developed a lab-grown living lung model that mimics the tiny air sacs of the lungs where coronavirus infection and serious lung damage take place. This advance has enabled virologists to watch the battle between the SARS-CoV-2 coronavirus and lung cells at the finest molecular scale. In experiments so far, the mini lungs respond just like the real thing. |
