The far side of the moon is the hemisphere Earthlings never see. Though it's not shrouded in darkness, many mysteries persist.
I am just old enough to remember the Apollo missions. I was only a toddler when Neil Armstrong made his historic walk, but I do recall griping to my parents that Saturday morning cartoons had been pre-empted for videos of a bunch of astronauts bouncing around the lunar surface. Hey, I was a little kid. For all I knew, people went to the moon every day. I just wanted to know what had happened to Bugs Bunny. That is a perfectly legitimate excuse if one is six. Of course, watching the Apollo...
Dave Duttlinger’s first thought when he saw a dense band of yellowish-brown dust smearing the sky above his Indiana farm was: I warned them this would happen. About 445 acres of his fields near Wheatfield, Indiana, are covered in solar panels and related machinery—land that in April 2019 Duttlinger leased to Dunns Bridge Solar, for one of the largest solar developments in the Midwest. On that blustery spring afternoon in 2022, Duttlinger said, his phone rang with questions from frustrated...
NEW DELHI: China is gearing up to put a robotic spacecraft on a mission to the dark side of the moon. This mission is the first of three challenging missions that will eventually lead to a Chinese crewed landing and the establishment of a base on the lunar South pole.Since the initial Chang'e mission, which took place in 2007 and was named after the mythical Chinese moon goddess, China has significantly progressed in its exploration of the moon, bridging the technological gap with the United...
Navigating a new work environment can be challenging. You’re just starting your career and might feel grateful for the opportunity, but at the same time, may notice unfair expectations being placed on you. You may feel socially awkward around those older than you and like you have nothing in common with those further along in their careers or personal lives.

DJI's Power 500 and Power 1000 can both fast charge drones in about 30 minutes so long as you have the correct model.
China will send a robotic spacecraft in coming days on a round trip to the moon's far side in the first of three technically demanding missions that will pave the way for an inaugural Chinese crewed landing and a base on the lunar south pole. Since the first Chang'e mission in 2007, named after the mythical Chinese moon goddess, China has made leaps forward in its lunar exploration, narrowing the technological chasm with the United States and Russia. In 2020, China brought back samples from...

In a new paper, Google DeepMind researchers reveal just how AI can persuade us, what mechanisms enable it to do so, and explore its dangers.
Get ready for AI to make videos from just your picture. Microsoft Research recently unveiled VASA, a new AI framework demonstration capable of generating “hyper-realistic” talking faces from a single portrait and speech audio, possibly reducing the reliance on webcams. The new technology introduces a shift in video conferencing, potentially making webcams obsolete by synthesizing lifelike facial […]
