Country Garden Opens Restaurant Operated Completely By Robots

Image
Country Garden, a property developer in China, revealed that its subsidiary Qianxi Robot Catering Group (Qianxi Group) opened a restaurant complex operated completely by robots. Located in Shunde, which is a city in China's Guangdong province, the restaurant eliminates most human-to-human contact and may be a harbinger of how businesses plan to handle the aftermath of the coronavirus outbreak.   The restaurant complex is 2,000 square meters or about 21,527 square feet, and it has 20 robots equipped to serve a variety of dishes, including Chinese food, fast food, clay-pot rice and hot pot. The menu has 200 items, but they are available within 20 seconds of ordering. The restaurant can handle 600 diners at once.

‘Skyman’ Review: Ready for an Alien Reunion - The New York Times

Image
'Skyman' Review: Ready for an Alien Reunion - The New York Times As Carl enlists the help of his sister (Nicolette Sweeney) and his best friend (Faleolo Alailima) in elaborate preparations for the visitation, the movie's striking desert locations and generous tone are more soothing than scary. Subdued and temperate, "Skyman" refuses to lean into the mystery of Carl's claims or wind us up for a final resolution. Those elements might be present, but they're never allowed to obscure what is essentially an empathetic, textured portrait of loneliness and loss.

Pentagon should release UFO report, Senate intelligence committee argues | Space

Image
However, according to the committee's report, "there is no unified, comprehensive process" for collecting information on unidentified aerial phenomena, "despite the potential threat." The committee instructed the Director of National Intelligence and other agency heads to submit a report within 180 days with a number of details about the ONI's investigation. The report must include details about what the federal government knows about "intrusions" into restricted U.S. airspace and other unidentified flying objects, as well as a plan to firm up intelligence collection and sharing on the subject.

Want to learn how to survive on Mars? Look to Antarctica. | Space

Image
One is blinding white and the other a dull, dusty red. But both are cold, barren worlds, difficult to reach and full of tantalizing scientific mysteries. And lessons from the first world, Antarctica, may be vital for those who want to be the first humans on the second, Mars , according to Stan Love, a former NASA astronaut who now supports the agency's astronaut office. Those lessons, Love said in a meeting last month, stem from a decades-long U.S. government-funded program to search for atmospherically toasted space rocks on the brilliant ice of Antarctica .

A supermassive black hole lit up a collision of two smaller black holes | MIT Technology Review

Image
Astronomers from Caltech have reported that they've observed a collision between two black holes. Normally such an event is invisible, but this time a more massive black hole sitting nearby helped illuminate the other two as they collided. If confirmed, the findings, published in Physical Review Letters , would be the first optical observations ever made of a black hole merger. What happened: First detected in May 2019 and dubbed S190521g, the merger happened about 4 billion light-years away, within the vicinity of a supermassive black hole called J1249+3449. This object is 100 million times more massive than the sun, with a diameter roughly the size of Earth's orbit around the sun.
