China will launch a "mason" to the moon to create regolith bricks

China intends to test 3D printing of bricks fromlunar regolith directly on the earth satellite. To do this, an insect-like robot called a “supermason” will be tested, which will be able to collect printed bricks like a LEGO constructor. Ding Lieyong, a specialist from Huadong University of Science and Technology, spoke about the prototype of a six-legged insect-like robot. The machine will be able to assemble the produced regolith bricks into a primitive architecture suitable forContinue Reading

Scientists have achieved quantum teleportation of 1 km

Scientists from the Institute of Photonic Sciences (ICFO) for the first timecarried out quantum teleportation of information over long distances. The team successfully transmitted quantum information from photon to photon of a solid-state qubit over a distance of 1 km. The solid-state qubit was stored in a multiplexed quantum memory, and an active transmission scheme was also used, which maximized the speed of teleportation. The architecture used in the study is compatible with telecommunication channels, whichContinue Reading
