Ever since I read Asimov’s I, Robot as a child I was fascinated by those mechanical human-like machines capable of interacting with humans and achieve complex tasks with their non-human skills.

Up until now, the vision of a world filled with humanoid robot was a dream manifested only in science fiction. But with recent development, in particularly, the Optimus demonstration at Tesla’s AI day, it seems as Robots may soon become part of our daily life.

Will Asimov’s Robot vision become a reality?
How will this impact society?
Could this spell the end of poverty and material want?
Are we about to become a post scarcity society?
What are the risks Science Fiction warns us about?

Where are we likely to find life first and the most on Mars? And why I think that is both likely and not a threat to us and us not to it, Watch and see.

With an estimated 60 to 70 vessels, China allegedly possesses the largest fleet of conventional submarines in the world.

The Chinese Navy could finally use lithium technology to replace the lead-acid batteries that are now used in its fleet of conventional submarines.

Since lithium batteries had a higher risk of catching fire or exploding, the navy was hesitant to replace the submarine fleet’s current batteries with them.

Transitioning away from fossil fuels.

The cost of turning sunlight into electricity has fallen more than 90 percent over the last decade. Solar is now the cheapest form of newly built energy generation. Job done? Not quite. Right now, solar works well at cost-competitive prices and can help us cut emissions significantly. But with less than five percent of the world’s electricity delivered by solar, we are just at the start.

The solar panels of 2022 are like the chunky mobile phones of the 1990s. Much more is possible with the same underlying technology.

Australia is likely to play a key role in global progress.

Could we describe and search for proof of technology originating from outside of Earth?

If an alien were to look at Earth, many human technologies — from cell towers to fluorescent light bulbs — could be a beacon signifying the presence of life.

We are two astronomers who work on the search for extraterrestrial intelligence — or SETI. In our research, we try to characterize and detect signs of technology originating from beyond Earth. These are called technosignatures. While scanning the sky for a TV broadcast of some extraterrestrial Olympics may sound straightforward, searching for signs of distant, advanced civilizations is a much more nuanced and difficult task than it might seem. iStock.

Scientists and materials researchers have invented a new and improved tool, “lab on a chip,” to measure light, according to a press release by Oregon State University (OSU) published on October 20.

An ultra-tiny device

The new tool consists of an ultra-tiny spectrometer that fits on a microchip and is operated using artificial intelligence. It now may lead to upgrades in everything from smartphone cameras to environmental monitoring.

E-scooters are all the rage in Türkiye, as their sales and number of companies renting them soared in recent years. Yet, they have several cons, like long charging times and possible pollution from the uncontrolled disposal of discarded batteries. Four Turkish engineers hope a new scooter, working on hydrogen power, may overcome these problems.

“Hebunk,” devised by entrepreneurs working at a technology park at Istanbul Technical University, boasts a fast charging time, just five minutes, and can travel for 60 kilometers (37.28 miles) with a single charge, which roughly costs about 9 cents (TL 1.8).

The scooter, which is not too different from e-scooters in appearance, was developed in one year by the entrepreneurs’ HydroBorPEM Fuel Cell Technologies, now based at a technology park in Istanbul’s Yıldız Technical University.
