A team of researchers from Google's DeepMind AI lab have programmed a pair of little humanoid robots to play a classic match of one-versus-one soccer - and the results are absolutely adorable.A video of these robotic little tykes shows them wobbling around with impressive, almost human-like agility, though the movements are more akin to an athletic toddler than a professional soccer player.

Astronomers have been looking for the source of the matter that makes up early galaxies for decades.Now, for the first time, astronomers have observed the cold, steady streams of gas that make up the raw material for stars.Despite the name, the filamentary stream surrounding and heading into the galaxy 4C 41.17- more than 10 billion light years away - is immense: a thin stream of cold carbon gas 100 kiloparsecs, or half a million light years, wide, and as massive as 140 billion suns.

Spin Kick
Last year, NASA rammed its Double Asteroid Redirection Test (DART) spacecraft into a tiny moonlet called Dimorphos, demonstrating a promising way to redirect a potential incoming killer asteroid to save life on Earth.Now, given the huge amount of scrutiny following the collision, scientists have made another surprising discovery: Dimorphos' much larger companion Didymos is spinning so fast, they say, that it's capable of shooting pieces of rubble into space, a puzzling conclusion that highlights the fact that asteroids aren't necessarily the inert lumps of rock they're often thought of, Scientific American reports.

Astronomers just found another case of something out there bigger than a supermassive black hole: ultramassive black holes, which are the true behemoths of the Universe, clocking in at over 10 billion times the mass of our Sun.While there aren't any fundamental differences between supermassive and ultramassive black holes besides their size, scientists sometimes use the term to set apart the really big ones.

For US troops, the training is nothing new: Applying tourniquets, clearing someone's airway, recognizing signs of traumatic brain injuries.But to the Ukrainian troops receiving it, the training is literally a matter of life or death on the battlefield in the war against Russia.US troops have been providing critical medical instruction and combat casualty care to Ukrainians at Grafenwoehr Training Area in Germany for almost a year, in between other significant training on weapon systems.

Paradox: Solved
Here's a Fermi Paradox solution for you: killer moons are taking out extraterrestrials.We promise it's not as ridiculous as it sounds.According to a new study published in the journal Monthly Notices of the Royal Astronomical Sciences, as spotted by LiveScience, exomoons, or moons that revolve around an exoplanet outside our solar system, could be crashing into their hosts and wiping out any chances for life on a shockingly regular basis.

Constraints form a major part of a designer's process.Whether it's constraints based on materials, manufacturing capabilities, technology, or even just budget constraints, designers work well within those boundaries to create the best solutions possible... but what if there were absolutely no constraints?

AI-generated images have gone viral before, but none have spread so far and wide as a picture of the pope wearing what can only be described as a swagged-out puffy jacket.Call him the Supreme pontiff.The Balenciaga bishop.The vicar of drip.The picture seems to have been first posted online on Friday, submitted to a subreddit for the AI image generator Midjourney.

Imagine there's a small fire in your kitchen.Your fire alarm goes off, warning everyone nearby about the danger.Someone calls 911.You try to put the fire out yourself maybe you even have a fire extinguisher under the sink.If that doesn't work, you know how to safely evacuate.By the time you get outside, the fire truck is already pulling up.

More ink has been spilled about Aaron Judge in his six seasons of play than perhaps any Yankee this century, save Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez.You all know his story, what he did last year, and how the winter unfolded.He was the best player in baseball and put up the best offensive season by a player not named Barry Bonds in nearly 60 years.

01/09/2023January 9, 2023 BaFin has yet to ascertain how the malware infects devices, the authority does know that the trojan displays fake websites of regular apps that can then acquire login details and transmit them to cyber criminals.German financial authorities on Monday warned consumers that the malware known as "Godfather" has been attacking some 400 banking and cryptocurrency apps worldwide, "including those of providers within Germany."

Ukrainian forces at a bridge over the Oskil River in the Kharkiv region on Oct. 3. (Heidi Levine for The Washington Post)A months-long examination by The Washington Post of Ukraine's successful Kharkiv and Kherson counteroffensives involved interviews with more than 35 people, including Ukrainian commanders, officials in Kyiv and combat troops, as well as senior U.S. and European military and political officials.

Scientists warn deep ocean water flows from the Antarctic could decline by 40 percent by 2050, threatening the collapse of circulation crucial for planetary systems.Rapidly melting Antarctic ice is dramatically slowing down the flow of water through the world's oceans and could have a disastrous effect on global climate, the marine food chain, and even the stability of ice shelves, new research says.

xAs tragic as it sounds, the engulfment of a planetary object by its stellar parent is a common scenario throughout the Universe.But it doesn't have to end in doom.A team of astrophysicists has used computer simulations to discover that planets can not only survive when their star eats them - they can also drive their future evolution.

Over 50 percent of high-mass stars reside in multiple star systems.But due to their complex orbital interactions, physicists have a difficult time understanding just how stable and long-lived these systems are.Recently a team of astronomers applied machine learning techniques to simulations of multiple star systems and found a new way that stars in such systems can arrange themselves.

On Titan's icy surface, liquid water could have filled the bottom of Selk Crater for tens of thousands of years after the ancient impact that formed it.When NASA's Dragonfly spacecraft arrives on Saturn's moon Titan in 2034, it will explore the area around Selk Crater, an impact crater just north of Titan's equator.

Earth's landscape has always been in flux.But most large-scale changes take far longer to manifest than we'll ever witness in our lifetimes.Hundreds of millions of years had to pass for the continents to split apart, creating the seven land masses we know today.Earth's mountain ranges didn't appear overnight, but rose gradually after the collision of tectonic plates.

The AOC AGM600 comes from AGON, which is the gaming arm and product line from AOC - probably best known for their creation of high-performance, accurate monitors for gaming and creative industries.Their peripheral offerings are expanding quickly - with keyboards, mouse pads, headsets and gaming arms complementing an increasing lineup of highly responsive and accurate gaming mice.

Below points will tell wether its good to learn this language now or not:
C is a widely-used programming language that is known for its efficiency and flexibility.It is considered a foundational language and is often taught in computer science and engineering programs.There are several reasons why someone might want to learn C:
C is a low-level language, which means that it provides more direct control over the computer's hardware.

Al Jazeera's AI robot has crunched the numbers and processed predictions for today's four fixtures.Some humans would say a football match is impossible to predict with any great certainty, but Kashef, our Artificial Intelligence (AI) predictor, would disagree.Kashef has been playing with historical data and performance to predict the results of each game all the way to the final.

Astronomers have another near-Earth object on their ones-to-watch lists: a newly discovered 50-metre-wide asteroid that could hit Earth on Valentine's Day ... in 2046.2023 DW was first observed on February 26 making its way toward our home world on its orbit around the Sun.Scientists have been studying the space rock over some weeks to get a better idea of its physical and orbital properties.

A supermassive black hole, booted out of its galaxy by powerful gravitational forces, is leaving a trail of ionized gas and newborn stars in its wake.Galaxies colliding and merging is a pretty common event in the universe.Most of the larger galaxies we see today formed in a series of galactic mergers, and our own spirally home will eventually smash into the Andromeda Galaxy.
