TL;DR
- NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope is ‘seeing double.’ Peering back 10 billion years into the universe’s past, Hubble astronomers found a pair of quasars that are so close to each other they look like a single object in ground-based telescopic photos, but not in Hubble’s crisp view.
- We are made of stardust, the saying goes, and a pair of studies including University of Michigan research finds that may be more true than we previously thought.
- Astronomers have detected X-rays from Uranus for the first time, using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory. …

Robotics biweekly vol.28, 25th March — 6th April
TL;DR
- MIT researchers developed a picking robot that combines vision with radio frequency (RF) sensing to find and grasps objects, even if they’re hidden from view. The technology could aid fulfilment in e-commerce warehouses.
- Scientists create the next version of Xenobots — tiny biological robots that self-assemble, carry out tasks, and can repair themselves. Now they can move faster, and record information.
- A team of researchers has developed a new early warning system for vehicles that uses artificial intelligence to learn from thousands of real traffic situations. The results show that, if used…
