NASA is aiming to put Americans back on the Moon before China’s first crewed landing. 🇺🇸

• Artemis IV is targeting a 2028 landing, while China aims to land astronauts by 2030

• It would mark humanity’s first return to the lunar surface since 1972

• With support from President Trump, Jared Isaacman is challenging NASA’s team to bring Apollo-level intensity, discipline, and engineering ownership to the mission

• NASA wants the mission to inspire a new generation of astronauts and engineers, just as Apollo did

“Apollo should never represent the upper limit of what NASA can achieve. It should be a standard we continuously strive to exceed”

Researchers at South Korea’s KAIST have demonstrated a humanoid robot that can push objects weighing up to 35 kg and lift loads of up to 20 kg.

The robot uses learning-based control and visual feedback to improve how it interacts with objects. They have also showcased its athletic abilities, including high-speed running and Michael Jackson’s iconic Moonwalk.

Scientists have figured out how to make force fields.

University of Helsinki researchers created “tubes” with ultrasonic sound waves, capable of containing liquids and gases with the pure force of sound waves.
