DOI: 10.1126/scirobotics.adp9905 A team of cyber-systems researchers, engineers, optical specialists and roboticists at Zhejiang University, in China, has developed a navigation system for quadcopter drones that gives them the ability to carry out precise flight maneuvers autonomously. As reported in the journal Science Robotics, the group developed a multi-pronged system that allows quadcopter drones to carry out complex aerobatic maneuvers autonomously, in a safe manner, both indoors and outdoors. It would be advantageous if drones were able to carry out tasks autonomously without human intervention. It would allow for flying tasks beyond the sight of a remote pilot, for example. It would also greatly reduce the cost of other tasks, such as delivering packages. Because of that, researchers have been working to make drones smarter. Just two years ago, a team at the University of Zurich developed what they described as a highly

Astronomers have detected the most promising signs yet of a possible biosignature outside the solar system. The most likely reason (when combined with other observation) for seeing 1000 times more of the chemical DMS would be that exoplanet K2-18B is an ocean planet teeming with life. This ocean filled with life is causing the chemical…

Africa requires more than $220 million to sustain and scale up its response to the ongoing mpox outbreak, as the virus continues to spread within and beyond the continent. This was revealed in a joint statement issued Thursday by the Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention (Africa CDC) and the World Health Organization (WHO),…
Nigeria’s 79-kilometre stretch of the proposed Abidjan-Lagos Corridor Highway will be executed through a shared responsibility among the Federal Government, Lagos State Government, and the Federal Roads Maintenance Agency (FERMA).
In the waters surrounding Fiji, an ancient tradition endures. Indigenous (iTaukei) communities have long established designated both freshwater and marine ecosystems where fishing and harvesting are temporarily forbidden in honor of their deceased. Though historically practiced for cultural and spiritual reasons, these aquatic funerary protected areas (FPAs) have inadvertently contributed to sustainable resource management —…
SovEcon, a leading agricultural consultancy, has revised its forecast for Russian wheat production upwards. The new estimate projects a harvest of 79.7 million metric tons, representing a substantial increase of 1.1 million metric tons from the previous forecast. This adjustment reflects improved conditions and expectations for a more abundant wheat crop in Russia. The upward […]
With the aid of NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), scientists have found compelling evidence that biological life is present and active on a planet called K2-18b, located some 124 light years from Earth. The team was able to determine dimethyl sulfide and dimethyl disulfide—gases normally produced by biological activity on Earth—in the exoplanet’s atmosphere as it passed across its parent star. While these gases could come from other sources, scientists are bookmarking K2-18b for closer observations with future tools more sensitive than JWST. Life beyond Earth. This idea has captured minds for ages, sparking just as many debates as there are searches into space. Practically all of our extraterrestrial missions carry some kind of hope of finding little green men or, at the very least, signs of simple organic life, from Voyager 1 to Mars rover Curiosity. Adding to that mountain of possibility is a new peer-reviewed report (via the Astrophysical Journal Letters) which claims to have found the strongest ev
