Radar espacial medirá florestas para estudar o ciclo de carbono

1 week ago | mittechreview.pt | Jacek Krywko

As florestas são o segundo maior sumidouro de carbono do planeta, atrás apenas dos oceanos. Para perceber exatamente quanto carbono capturam, a Agência Espacial Europeia e a Airbus construíram um satélite chamado Biomass, que utilizará uma faixa do espectro de rádio anteriormente proibida para observar abaixo das copas das árvores por todo o mundo.
Experimental retina implants give mice infrared vision

it's not Cyberpunk vision quite yet A light-sensitive wire mesh implanted in the retina helps restore nerve impulses. Human vision relies on photoreceptor cells in the retina that react to visible light and trigger neurons in the optic nerve to send signals to the brain. Degradation of these photoreceptors is the leading cause of vision impairments, including blindness.

A lower latency visual system might be needed to make the robot more competitive. Robots like Atlas, Spot, and Stretch have amazed people with natural, life-like agility and body balance. What they were lacking, though, was a way to quickly connect this natural movement to perception—the robotic equivalent of the reflexes that let you catch a ball or duck in an instant to avoid getting hit. So, a team of scientists at ETH Zurich got busy fixing this problem.

This ‘Tower of Worms’ Is a Squirming Superorganism

When food runs out, certain tiny roundworms, barely visible to the naked eye, crawl toward one another and build living, wriggling towers that move as one superorganism. For the first time, we’ve caught them doing that in nature on video.

We don't currently have a mission to put it on, but NASA is making sure it's ready. Europa and Enceladus are two ocean moons that scientists have concluded have liquid water oceans underneath their outer icy shells. The Europa Clipper mission should reach Europa around April of 2030. If it collects data hinting at the moon’s potential habitability, robotic lander missions could be the only way to confirm if there’s really life in there or not.
