Robots could help to detect mental wellbeing issues in children, study finds Cambridge University researchers had a child-sized humanoid robot complete a series of questionnaires with 28 children aged between eight and 13 to assess mental wellbeing. They found that the youngsters were willing to confide in the robot, sometimes sharing information that they had not yet shared via online or in-person questionnaires.

Engineers fix Voyager-1 as it travels outside Solar System in interstellar space - SCIENCE News

Image
The Voyager-1 probe has been in interstellar space for over a decade after it crossed the heliosphere in 2012, the boundary where the sun's impact comes to an end. After months of accessing and analysing the probe's systems, engineers have now solved the issue affecting data from Voyager 1.

Are planets with two stars promising places… | The Planetary Society

Image
There are some caveats to this idea, of course. For one thing, it assumes that the way in which the planets formed in our Solar System is applicable to worlds around binary stars. Ample research suggests that Earth-sized worlds might have a hard time even forming in chaotic two-star systems.
