Researchers Develop Brain-on-chip System
Chinese researchers have developed a brain-on-a-chip intelligent interaction system that can enable a brain organoid to autonomously control robots for tasks such as obstacle avoidance, tracking and grasping, completing inspired work of various brain-like computing, according to a study published in the journal Brain.
Exceptionally Tough 3D Printable Elastomers Developed
Chinese researchers have developed a 3D photo-printable resin chemistry that yields an elastomer with a tensile strength of 94.6 MPa and toughness of 310.4 MJ m-3, both of which far exceed those of any 3D-printed elastomer, according to a study published in the journal Nature.
Sino-French Satellite Detects Gamma-ray Bursts
An astronomical satellite jointly developed by China and France has recently detected gamma-ray bursts since its launch two weeks ago, marking a promising start to this high-level cooperation project between the two countries.
NASA's CURIE Mission to Explore Solar Radio Waves
NASA said its CubeSat Radio Interferometry Experiment (CURIE) was launched on July 9 to explore the origins of radio waves from the sun, one of the key drivers of space weather.
SpaceX to launch Polaris Dawn Mission
SpaceX is set to launch Polaris Dawn, the first commercial spaceflight mission with an all-civilian spacewalk plan, no earlier than July 31, according to an announcement from the project.
'Dangling' Ice Spotted in Space
Fluffy ice that could help create the molecular building blocks for life has been spotted in space for the first time by the James Webb Space Telescope, nearly 30 years since researchers first observed it in the lab.
