In December 2022, the Japanese company ispacesent her own spacecraft to the moon with a lunar rover on board. He almost got to his destination - but suddenly lost contact with the Earth, in connection with which the mission was declared unsuccessful. The Hakuto-R lander was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida using a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket.Continue Reading

Car thieves learned how to steal cars using Nokia 3310 (2 videos)
Last year there was news about the theftcars with modified speakers, but attackers have since become more inventive. Now they only need a converted Nokia 3310 or other old phone to take control of the vehicle in a matter of seconds. A mobile phone is more compact and much less conspicuous than a wireless speaker. It is reported that withContinue Reading
Russian electric car "Atom" will receive four modifications at once
In January of this year, the founders of the Russian brand"Atom" announced a closed presentation of the car of the same name. Then it was assumed that it would appear in a single version - but, according to Kommersant, there will be four modifications, and work on the production of an electric car has already begun. According to the source, Renera and Rusatom RDS announced a tender for the development of an electric motor and a system for its integration together.Continue Reading
Passive cooling of the top iron with 4.4 kg of copper (4 photos)
Fans of silent computers will be interestedto learn about the new project of one of the Reddit users who found an original solution for cooling his Ryzen 9 7950X processor. An enthusiast used copper plates weighing 1 kg each to create passive cooling in his system based on the Streacom DB4 case. The user's system unit is built on the MSI MPG B650I Edge motherboardContinue Reading
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
A visual comparison of the size of the Starship rocket with the size of Airbus aircraft (2 photos)
On April 20, SpaceX conducted a testlaunch of its reusable Starship rocket. The rocket successfully launched from the Boca Chica space center in Texas, however, during the flight, part of the engines failed, which led to the rocket deviating from the course and the subsequent explosion. It is worth noting that this rocket is the largest in the history of astronautics. And this led toContinue Reading
A wearable device that creates a screen on your hand (3 photos)
Humane, co-founded byformer Apple employees introduced a small device that creates a virtual display in the palm of your hand or other surface. The device is smaller than a smartphone and runs on a Qualcomm chip running Android OS. It is equipped with a laser projector, which creates a square-shaped green projection with good accuracy. There is also a camera that was used on stage to visually translate the text.Continue Reading
Starship rocket failed first tests and was blown up
SpaceX announced a deliberatedestroying a Starship rocket due to engine problems and loss of altitude. It turned out that during the tests of the first stage of the Super Heavy accelerator, 3 out of 33 engines did not work, and later their number reached six. As a result, Starship managed to reach an altitude of 39 km before starting an uncontrollable vibration and collapsing intoContinue 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
High-quality photo of the merger of two galaxies (2 photos)
NASA has publishedbreathtaking image taken by the James Webb Space Telescope. The photograph shows two spiral galaxies in the process of merging to form the Arp 220 galaxy. Arp 220 is an ultra-bright infrared galaxy with a radiance equivalent to over a trillion sun-like stars. This makes it 100 times brighter than the Milky Way. The galaxy is in the constellation Serpens, at a distanceContinue Reading
