    Why is Venus hotter than Mercury, when Mercury is closer to the sun? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Given that it's the closest planet to the sun, Mercury seems like it should be the hottest planet in our solar system. However, at a blistering 900 degrees Fahrenheit (480 degrees Celsius), Venus tops Mercury's 800 F (430 C) highest surface temperature, despite being an average of 31 million miles (50 million kilometers) farther from the sun. So how can the second planet from our star be hotter than the closest planet to it? It all comes down to reflectivity, atmospheric composition and geologic

    Scientists build tiny robots without motors that can fly using sound waves alone (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    If you blow across the top of an empty bottle you'll hear a clear, steady note. Now, engineers have used that same concept to power tiny robots that move without a single motor on board. These new devices are powered entirely by sound. When the right frequency is aimed at them, hollow chambers built into their structure resonate and push out a jet of air, generating enough thrust to steer a small boat or lift a tiny flying robot off the ground. The scientists described their innovation in a stud

    Cheap wall tiles 'inspired by flowing streams' could fix one of superfast 6G's biggest problems (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Future 6G networks promise blistering speeds, but there's a catch. The wireless channels they'll rely on can't pass through walls. But now, engineers have designed a workaround that could help solve one of the technology's biggest obstacles. The next generation of cellular network technology is expected to lean heavily on millimeter waves — a sliver of the electromagnetic spectrum that can carry huge amounts of data but with wavelengths so short that they struggle to pass through solid objects l

    Have your say: Would you trust a humanoid robot with your household chores? (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    The dream of coming home to a spotless kitchen you didn't have to clean yourself is edging closer to reality. We're used to seeing robotic vacuums cleaning our floors — but what about all our other chores? Humanoid robots are being engineered to take care of more complex tasks around the house, from folding laundry to loading the dishwasher. This month, San Francisco-based startup Tau Robotics began letting residents hire robots, dressed in company uniforms and given names like Chelsea and Elon,
