The NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope has captured a striking view of UGC 10043, a spiral galaxy located approximately 150 million light-years away in the Serpens constellation. This galaxy is seen edge-on, revealing a sharp silhouette of its disk rather than the familiar spiral arm pattern.

The effects of space travel on human physiology are profound, subjecting astronauts to conditions such as radiation, microgravity, disrupted sleep, and high-stress environments. These factors could potentially impact cognitive abilities, a critical concern given the complexity and high stakes of tasks performed aboard spacecraft.

A different mix of fuels with enhanced properties could overcome some of the major barriers to making fusion a more practical energy source, according to a new study.
The proposed approach would still use deuterium and tritium, which are generally accepted as the most promising pair of fuels for fusion energy production. However, the quantum properties of the fuel would be adjusted for pea

For roboticists, one challenge towers above all others: generalization - the ability to create machines that can adapt to any environment or condition. Since the 1970s, the field has evolved from writing sophisticated programs to using deep learning, teaching robots to learn directly from human behavior.
