To construct an extraterrestrial residential building, specialists from the management have chosen technology 3D printing. In search of a contractor, NASA chose the construction company ICON from Texas. It is known for its printed terrestrial structures. In Austin, the company has buil…

The world’s first “child” with artificial intelligence Tong Tong – which means “little girl” – has a somewhat eerie appearance. She seems to have stepped into our reality from a sci-fi thriller about a child android. However, unlike cinematic characters of this type, Tong Tong does not have a physical form. She can only be interacted with virtually.
The authors of the project from the Beijing Institute of General Artificial Intelligence (BIGAI) have for the first time demonstrated the capabiliti…

This enormous celestial body is located 1232 light-years away from Earth. The exoplanet WASP-193b is nearly 50 percent larger than Jupiter. Despite this, it is so light and fluffy that its overall density can be compared to that of cotton candy. This is just a little over one percent of Earth’s density.
Exoplanets, or extrasolar planets, are planets outside our Solar System.

Researchers led by designer Cicero Moraes have reconstructed the face of the man who inspired various cultures to create the mythical character that brings gifts on Christmas .
Cícero Moraes is a Brazilian 3D designer known for his computer reconstructions using forensic advancements. As a result of the colossal work of his team, it has become known what the real prototype of our Saint Nicholas, the Dutch Sinterklaas, and the American Santa Claus looked like.
Saint Nicholas of Myra was a Christi…

California space tech company SpinLaunch is using a massive spinning cannon for their latest project. They’re going to shoot tons of pancake-shaped mini-satellites into space. The first orbital demo is planned for next year.
What did the startup founders say?
The company is planning to simultaneously launch hundreds of flattened mini-satellites into low Earth orbit by shooting them out of a giant centrifugal cannon. The first batch of these space “pancakes” should reach space by 2026.

Scientists are usually hard to surprise. But when a skin of a killed platypus was first sent from Australia to England, British zoologists thought the residents of that distant and still unexplored continent were playing a prank on them: they believed someone had sent the skin of some animal and attached a regular duck bill to it.
However, as it later became clear, the platypus resembles a duck not only because of its bill. This creature lays eggs, has webbed feet, and thrives in water, foragin…
