About 4.5 billion years ago, many scientists say, Earth had an encounter with Theia, another planetary object the size of Mars. When the two worlds collided in one big blow, the idea goes, debris shot into space, became trapped in the orbit of the young, damaged Earth, and led to the formation of our moon. … Read more
Researchers have designed a system that allows robots to record the highest jumps ever recorded. A team from the University of Manchester has developed a design that allows robots to overcome obstacles many times their size. They used a combination of computer simulations, laboratory experiments and mathematical principles. The system helped the team optimize the … Read more
Credit: University of Manchester Engineers from the University of Manchester have unlocked the secrets of designing a robot that can jump 120 meters – higher than any other jumping robot designed to date. Using a combination of mathematics, computer simulations and laboratory experiments, the researchers have discovered how to design a robot with the optimal … Read more
Supermassive black holes appear to be present at the center of every galaxy, dating back to some of the earliest galaxies in the universe. And we have no idea how they got there. It shouldn’t be possible for them to grow from supernova remnants to supermassive sizes so quickly. And we are not aware of … Read more
