World's Largest Gun Aims to Shoot Satellites Into Space - CNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When a rocket launches a payload into orbit, the overwhelming majority of its weight at launch is just fuel. After decades of space travel, a company called Longshot Space hopes to unlock a more efficient way to launch satellites into orbit. The plan: Shoot satellites into space with the world’s biggest gun. To accomplish this, Longshot is designing its cannons to accelerate payloads using compressed gas. Unlike regular guns, which use one sudden burst, Longshot uses multiple bursts of gas to ac
China's Robot Olympics Keep Getting Wilder - CNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It’s that time of year again when humanoid robots of all shapes, sizes and specialties converge in Beijing to see just how far this technology has come, and how far it still has to go. Robots bested human world records in the standing high jump, 400-meter sprint and even the 100-meter sprint held by Usain Bolt. The humanoids also took their fair share of punishment, taking spectacular falls on the track, in kickboxing, and on the dance floor. To see all the wildest highlights, check out the vide
Living Underwater in 2026: New Ocean Habitat Just Dropped - CNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new subsea habitat for humans just dropped (literally), all the way to the ocean floor. The habitat is called Vanguard, and it’s designed by a company named Deep. This habitat houses up to four people for stays of a week or more without surfacing. Living under pressure at depth for extended periods is already widely used in something called “saturation diving,” where divers’ bodies become fully saturated with the gas mix they’re breathing and remain under pressure between dives, eliminating th
Meet the Floating Robot Companion Designed for Safe, Friendly Human Interaction - CNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Inspired by animated flying friends like Tinker Bell, Mew and Studio Ghibli’s Soot Sprites, a team of researchers set out to show what a floating robotic companion might be good for and how humans could interact with it. Led by Mingyang Xu from Keio University in Japan, with participation from other institutions like the MIT Media Lab, the team recently released a demo video. The video shows a lighter-than-air robot with fins gliding through the air, making it look like a white, floating whale.
New Dental Robot Attaches to Patient's Teeth for Drilling - CNET (opens the original)
Read excerpt
A new dental robot is in development at the University of Basel in Switzerland to help with tooth drilling. It’s called the MIR, or Miniature Intraoral Robot, and its bite-sized design allows it to fit inside a patient’s mouth. The aim is to speed up the process of fitting a new crown when tooth decay is discovered. Today, a patient with tooth decay needs multiple follow-up appointments to prepare the tooth for the new crown, including fitting a temporary crown. With the MIR, a dentist could sca
