'It is something we must know before we go where no man has gone before': Readers react to NASA's Roman telescope mission (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Moving toward Lagrange point L2 around a million miles (1.6 million kilometers) from Earth, NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope is about to begin its study of our universe. Launched on Aug. 30, the space telescope has already released its first images before its 300-megapixel camera is fully calibrated, capturing clusters of stars as blurry green rings. Once Roman's Wide Field Instrument is fully functional, the telescope should produce images as crisp as those from the Hubble Space Telesco
'Of course I am worried': Live Science readers react to US weapons in space (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The idea of weapons in space, once a plot of science fiction, became a reality Monday (Sept. 14), when U.S. Air Force Secretary Troy Meink revealed at the Air, Space and Cyber Conference in Maryland that the United States had deployed "on-orbit space control weapons capable of defending the Joint Force against hostile adversary action." Experts are worried that with this new announcement, outer space may become the next frontier for an arms race. The 1967 Outer Space Treaty, signed by both the U
'Maybe robots can maintain houseplants': Readers react to letting humanoid robots take over their housework (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The idea of a humanoid robot folding laundry, loading the dishwasher or vacuuming once sounded like a scene from "The Jetsons." Now, as robotics companies race to develop machines that can navigate everyday environments and handle household tasks, the prospect of a robot taking over our chores feels increasingly real. But just because robots can do the work, that doesn't mean people are ready to welcome them into their homes. Live Science recently polled readers on whether they would want a huma
Fossils of iconic long-necked dinosaur Diplodocus found in Europe for first time (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Paleontologists have identified the first confirmed remains of Diplodocus — "Dippy," for short — outside the western U.S., revealing that the iconic long-necked dinosaur reached what is now Spain roughly 150 million years ago. The findings show that the enormous sauropod didn't live only in North America, as was long thought. Instead, it may have rambled across a land bridge all the way to Europe, the new study suggests. The discovery, made at the La Tejería site near the small village of El Cas
'Maybe that is how Transformers started': Readers react to the possibility of AI becoming self-aware (opens the original)
Read excerpt
While artificial intelligence (AI) systems can now solve challenging math equations and respond in human-like language, the question of AI consciousness has moved from the realm of sci-fi to scientific discussion. The debate has become more mainstream thanks to a recent preprint study that examined "consciousness steering," an AI-tuning technique that affects how an AI model expresses ideas about self-awareness. The researchers suggested that if AI is allowed to claim it is conscious, it's also
