Would you be comfortable having Optimus in your home? Share your thoughts in the comments.

At Tesla’s We, Robot Cybercab event, Elon Musk unveiled a surprising appearance by Tesla’s humanoid robot, Optimus. A group of these robots walked alongside the reveal of the new Robovan. Optimus bots were shown in a video performing daily tasks such as delivering packages and watering plants, with Musk emphasizing that these robots could soon do nearly anything—from walking your dog to babysitting kids. With a long-term price between $20,000 to $30,000, Musk claims that Optimus could be Tesla’s biggest product yet, eventually transforming civilization.

Watch as the Honey Badger legged robot from MAB Robotics demonstrates its underwater locomotion capabilities. Designed for extreme environments, this innovative robot showcases robust movement across submerged terrain, pushing the boundaries of legged robotics. Perfect for inspection and maintenance in flooded or challenging areas, the Honey Badger is a leap forward in autonomous robotics.

A quantum degeneracy named after a Chinese yo-yo boosts the magnetization lifetime of a short chain of magnetic iron atoms by a factor of 1000.

Theorists have developed a model to explain how a protein structure keeps its position while being buffeted by currents.

Overlapping two 3D lattices with a relative twist opens the door to synthesizing crystals with diverse symmetries that showcase nontrivial band structures and novel properties.

When two identical periodic lattices overlap in space, with one twisted at an angle relative to the other, they form moiré lattices. The best-known examples are formed from stacked and rotated 2D sheets. These structures can possess fascinating properties not seen in their component layers. Twisted bilayer graphene, for example, can exhibit superconductor and Mott insulator behavior [1, 2]. Ce Wang of Tongji University in China and his colleagues now propose how to construct a 3D moiré lattice using two cubic optical lattices hosting ultracold atoms [3]. The researchers mathematically describe how two simple periodic structures, twisted relative to each other, can lead to 3D optical moiré patterns (Fig. 1). The result is a crystal-like structure with emergent properties that differ from those of the underlying simple lattices.

Far beneath the lush landscape of southern China, a sprawling subterranean laboratory aims to be the world’s first to crack a deep scientific enigma.

Inaction on the water crisis could put more than half of the world’s food production at risk by 2050, experts warned in a major report published Thursday.

Hundreds of papers have been written about the first known brown dwarf, Gliese 229B, since its discovery by Caltech researchers at the Institute’s Palomar Observatory in 1995. But a pressing mystery has persisted about this orb: It is too dim for its mass.
