Harvard Researchers Develop Robots Based on Ants to Escape Prison | Nature World News
Robot ants were able to escape their prison during an experiment my mimicking the collective behavior of black carpenter ants when performing a complex task in a colony, according to a new study in the United States.
The study was published in the journal eLife on October 10, where researchers from Harvard University in Cambridge explored the dynamics of cooperative excavation in an and robot collectives.
Robotics refers to the design, manufacturing and utilization of robots for tasks (in hardware and software) that have traditionally been performed by humans.
Conventional wisdom suggests that robot-takeover of jobs won't bode well for human workers. However, it has been argued that the reverse is true, with robots reducing humanity's physical and mental labor while creating new jobs in the process.

An international conflict threw out Russia, one of the top spaceflight contributors since the dawn of the space age, from most international partnerships. A NASA mission brought a human-rated spacecraft around the moon and back again.
We've picked out 12 of the top stories in spaceflight below that helped define 2022, with news flowing from multiple worlds across the solar system.
Impact History of Earth-Moon System | Science Mission Directorate
The Moon's surface contains a complete record of the impact history of the inner solar system that stretches back to the formation of the Earth-Moon system, unlike the Earth, where rocks are recycled through plate tectonics or weathered away by fluvial and aeolian processes.
The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter (LRO) captured this breathtaking image of Earth as it was orbiting the Moon. This is a composite image from a series of pictures taken October 12, 2015, when the spacecraft was approximately 134 km above the lunar crater, Compton.
The Universe is Brighter Than we Thought - Universe Today
Over seven years ago, the New Horizons mission made history when it became the first spacecraft to conduct a flyby of Pluto . In the leadup to this encounter, the spacecraft provided updated data and images of many objects in the inner and outer Solar System.
Now that it is passing through the Kuiper Belt, away from the light pollution of the inner Solar System, it has another lucrative mission: measuring the brightness of the Universe.

A deep dive into the Neptune system with JWST | The Planetary Society
On Sep. 21, 2022, the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) turned its golden mirrors toward the ice giant Neptune . This planet, like its fraternal twin Uranus , is one of the least explored planets in our Solar System, only briefly visited by Voyager 2 in 1989.
We know so little about ice giants that studies of the Neptune system are largely in the realm of pure scientific discovery. Each new thing we learn about Neptune makes a huge contribution to our understanding of it.
Platform to Study the Universe | Science Mission Directorate
The far side of the lunar surface is captured here like never before. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) Wide Angle Camera (WAC) captured this mosaic in monochrome mode. This pieced together photo was the first of its kind as a resource to the scientific community.
The Moon also serves as a platform for understanding the rest of the Universe. The lack of an atmosphere allows the full electromagnetic spectrum to be visible from the lunar surface.

■ Orion is getting well up in the east-southeast after dinnertime, with his three-star belt still nearly vertical. The belt points up toward Aldebaran, with brighter Mars nearby, and onward even higher toward the Pleiades.
■ Aldebaran shines near the edge of the large, loose Hyades cluster in its background. Binoculars are the ideal instrument for this cluster given its size: its brightest stars (4th and 5th magnitude) span an area about 4° wide, and sparse fainter members extend much farther.
