NASA's Lunar Robot, Magnetic Levitation, and Advertising in Windows
In today's episode of "10 Minutes with Sami," we delve into three fascinating tech and science news stories. We start by talking about NASA’s innovative quadruped robot "Spirit," which is being trained to navigate the challenging lunar terrain as part of the LASSIE project. Next, we explore an impressive breakthrough in magnetic levitation achieved by Japanese researchers, who have managed to levitate a small piece of graphite almost perfectly still above a grid of magnets, without the need for external power sources.
Finally, we examine Microsoft's controversial initiative to experiment with integrating advertisements into the Windows Start menu, a move that has elicited various reactions from users. Join us on this thrilling journey through the latest advances in robotics, physics, and software, and discover how these innovations could shape our future.
