For a long time, scientists believed this was how fish rested. Surprisingly, research reveals that this seemingly effortless behaviour actually uses almost twice as much energy as genuine rest.
The Moon’s south pole may be hiding more than ancient darkness. New research suggests its frozen secrets were not created in a single cosmic event, but shaped slowly over billions of years. Some craters kept far more than others, and the reason may change where future lunar explorers search first.
Planetary rovers may seem like bold explorers, but in reality they work under tight limits. On Mars, even simple instructions take minutes to arrive, so every move must be planned carefully. That keeps missions safe, but it also raises a question: if robots move slowly and stop often, how much of another world can we really study?
AI is becoming part of everyday life, but its growing energy demands are putting increasing strain on the hardware behind it, which is why researchers at the University of Cambridge are exploring a new brain-inspired device that could help future AI systems use far less electricity.
