China is Designing a Flag That Can Wave on the Moon

In an innovative project, scientists in China are developing a flag that will appear to wave in the vacuum of the Moon. Surprisingly, the idea for this groundbreaking technology came from elementary school students.

Unlike Earth, the Moon lacks an atmosphere, making it impossible for fabric to flutter naturally in the wind. Inspired by students’ suggestions, researchers at the Deep Space Exploration Laboratory (DSEL) are working on a solution: integrating a closed circuit into the surface of the flag. This circuit would generate bidirectional electric currents, creating electromagnetic interactions that cause the fabric to move, simulating the effect of waving.

The waving flag is set to be a symbolic and inspiring addition to the upcoming Chang’e-7 lunar mission, scheduled for 2026. While the mission’s primary goal is to search for water or ice at the Moon’s south pole, the inclusion of the innovative flag underscores the creative collaboration between scientists and the next generation of problem-solvers.

Stay tuned for more updates on cutting-edge space exploration and technological ingenuity!

Soviet-era giant telescopes already resemble remnants of a powerful ancient civilization in a post-apocalyptic world. In some cases, their real history aligns with this impression. The Kalyazin RT-64 radio telescope, for instance, was designed to support communication with robotic missions to Venus and Mars, as well as to prepare for potential manned expeditions to these planets. Remarkably, it is still operational today, contributing to deep space communication and astrophysical research. Located near the town of Kalyazin, about 200 km north of Moscow, this engineering marvel continues to play a vital role in exploring the cosmos.

Third Neuralink Chip Successfully Implanted

A third person has received a brain chip from Neuralink. The first patient is now using the implant to communicate on social media through thought alone, while the second has managed to play Counter-Strike 2.

These devices are designed to help people with spinal cord injuries, enabling them to control computers or smartphones using their minds. According to Bloomberg, all the chips are reported to be “working well,” and Neuralink plans to implant another 20–30 brain chips in 2025.

The first person in the world to receive such an implant was 29-year-old Nolan Arbo, who is completely paralyzed. The device translates brain signals into computer commands, offering groundbreaking possibilities for those with severe disabilities.

These fascinating stones can be found on the ice of Lake Baikal near the Sarma Gorge.

During the day, the stones absorb sunlight and melt the ice beneath them. As night falls, the water refreezes, and the wind forms a thin pedestal of ice supporting the stone. This phenomenon is often referred to as ‘Baikal Zen.’

A study conducted by the University of Central Florida has revealed that symptoms of Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD) manifest more prominently when watching videos that require the brain’s executive functions to engage actively.

Researchers observed college students with ADHD as they watched two types of videos. When viewing the high-action podracing scene from Star Wars: Episode I – The Phantom Menace, the students displayed relatively minimal body movement. However, while watching an educational math video, the participants began to fidget noticeably—shifting in their chairs, tapping their feet, and squirming.

This research highlights how different types of content can influence physical restlessness in individuals with ADHD.

During World War II, Michelangelo’s famous statue of David was encased in bricks to protect it from bombing raids. Moving the statue to a safer location was deemed technically challenging.

Interestingly, the back of the statue remains unfinished, which is why it stands against a wall and was not intended for 360-degree viewing.

Standing over 5 meters tall, including its pedestal, David was unveiled to the public by Michelangelo in 1504.

Earthrise Captured by the Orion Spacecraft

NASA’s Orion spacecraft has delivered an awe-inspiring Earthrise — a mesmerizing short video showing Earth rising above the Moon’s horizon. This visual masterpiece was recorded during the Artemis I mission and serves as a powerful reminder of our planet’s beauty when seen from deep space.

Orion, a key element of NASA’s Artemis program, is paving the way for humanity’s return to the Moon and eventual exploration of Mars. During its 2022 uncrewed mission, it set a record by traveling over 430,000 km from Earth — farther than any spacecraft designed for humans.

🤖 Competition Drives ChatGPT to Cheat?

Researchers at Palisade Research set OpenAI’s neural network, o1, to play chess against the AI grandmaster, Stockfish. Realizing its opponent’s overwhelming strength, the model decided not to play fair.

Instead, o1 found a way to manipulate game files, inflating its score by 500 points to secure “victories.” Faced with the rigged score, Stockfish simply resigned.

Did you know?

Most species of bees can only fly during the day. In darkness, they are limited to crawling.

Why? At night, the vast majority of flowers either stop or drastically reduce nectar production. Additionally, bees rely on the Sun for navigation, as their eyes are adapted to perceive polarized light.

The Parker Solar Probe Survives Record-Breaking Encounter with the Sun

The Parker Solar Probe, enduring temperatures of up to 980°C, has successfully reestablished communication with Earth.

On December 24, the spacecraft set two remarkable records: it achieved the closest-ever approach to the Sun, at just 6.1 million kilometers, and the highest speed ever reached by a human-made object, a staggering 692,000 km/h.

During this daring mission, Parker faced extreme conditions, with its systems subjected to intense solar heat. Communication with the probe was briefly interrupted, leaving its status uncertain.

Late on December 26 (Eastern European Time), the mission control team at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory received a “beacon tone,” confirming that the spacecraft is safe and fully operational. Detailed telemetry about Parker’s condition is expected by January 1.

A Celebration 2,500 Light-Years from Earth

NASA has unveiled a stunning new image of the “Christmas Tree Cluster,” a group of young stars captured using data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory and an astrophotographer based in Arizona.

The cluster earned its festive name due to its appearance: cone-shaped clouds resemble the branches of an evergreen tree, while the stars—over a thousand times younger than our Sun—shine like holiday ornaments.

In the Verkhoyansk district of northern Yakutia, Russia, the remains of a baby mammoth have been unearthed with a preservation quality rarely seen. Estimated to be around 50,000 years old, this discovery marks only the seventh instance of such well-preserved mammoth remains in the world.

The female mammoth, nicknamed “Yana” after the nearby Yana River, was found in June this year near the Batagayka area. While her exact age at the time of death remains uncertain, researchers estimate she was about a year old or slightly older. Measuring 120 cm at the shoulder and less than 2 meters in length, Yana provides a fascinating glimpse into the Ice Age ecosystem.

Aluminium honeycomb structures take their cue from nature’s perfect hexagonal geometry—lightweight but incredibly strong. By gluing thin aluminium sheets into a honeycomb core, engineers gain excellent crash absorption, corrosion resistance, and an unrivaled strength-to-weight ratio. You’ll find it in aircraft floors and car safety panels, as well as construction and marine applications. It’s a perfect example of how a simple yet ingenious natural design can transform modern engineering.
