Testing ground robots performing military-style exercises

Army researchers tested ground robots performing military-style exercises, much like Soldier counterparts, at a robotics testing site in Pennsylvania recently as part of a 10-year research project designed to push the research boundaries in robotics and autonomy. RoMan, short for Robotic Manipulator, is a tracked robot that is easily recognized by its robotic arms and

Terraforming Mars starts to look possible

Silica aerogel could warm the Martian surface similar to the way greenhouse gasses keep Earth warm People have long dreamed of re-shaping the Martian climate to make it livable for humans. Carl Sagan was the first outside of the realm of science fiction to propose terraforming. In a 1971 paper, Sagan suggested that vaporizing the

More disturbing discoveries in Antarctica means we really need to pay more attention

A gigantic cavity – two-thirds the area of Manhattan and almost 1,000 feet (300 meters) tall – growing at the bottom of Thwaites Glacier in West Antarctica is one of several disturbing discoveries reported in a new NASA-led study of the disintegrating glacier. The findings highlight the need for detailed observations of Antarctic glaciers’ undersides

Could fluoride-based batteries last up to 8 times longer?

Imagine not having to charge your phone or laptop for weeks. That is the dream of researchers looking into alternative batteries that go beyond the current lithium-ion versions popular today. Now, in a new study appearing in the journal Science, chemists at several institutions, including Caltech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, which is managed by Caltech

Could fluoride-based batteries last up to 8 times longer?

Water on Mars could hold enough oxygen to possibly support simple aerobic life – could there really be life on Mars?

Given the right circumstances, water on Mars could hold more oxygen than previously believed, theoretically enough to support aerobic respiration A team led by scientists at Caltech and the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), which Caltech manages for NASA, has calculated that if liquid water exists on Mars, it could—under specific conditions—contain more oxygen than previously

Water on Mars could hold enough oxygen to possibly support simple aerobic life – could there really be life on Mars?
