Astronauts will be able to use Martian soil for 3D printing.

This will reduce the cost of flights, because all kinds of details can be done directly on the red planet. Researchers mixed different amounts of simulated Martian soil with titanium alloy. They also tried to create material for 3D printing from pure modeled soil. As a result, scientists have found that the mixture, which contains 5% of the Martian soil, is stronger and stronger than the usual titanium alloy. But clean soil did not fit for 3D printing - the objects received from it cracked when cooling. But its astronauts can be used to cover radiation shields that do not affect cracks.

Chinese scientists are the first in the world to clone an Arctic wolf.

The cub was born on June 10, 2022 by order of the Harbin Polar Park. According to Mi Jidong, this achievement was "a breakthrough in the field of protection and breeding of endangered wild animals." At birth, the weight of the wolf cub was 520 grams, and the body length was 22 centimeters. After 11 days, the animal weighed more than a kilogram, after two months - 4.5 kilograms. In the next two or three days, another wolf cub will be born. Individuals bred using cloning technology retain the ability to reproduce and may have offspring.

There was a way to measure the level of oxygen in the blood using a smartphone camera.

American scientists have figured out how to use a smartphone camera to measure saturation - the level of oxygen saturation in the blood. Usually, doctors use a pulse oximeter for this - a small device that resembles a clothespin and is worn on a finger. To measure saturation with a smartphone, you need to put your fingertip on the camera. There, flashes of red, green and blue will turn on in turn. The process will take about 15 minutes. The camera will record how, with each heartbeat, blood flows over the illuminated part of the finger and absorbs the light from the flash. Based on this data, specially trained artificial intelligence will calculate the level of oxygen in the blood.

In South Korea, the “artificial sun” was heated to 100 million ° C: this is 7 times hotter than the stars.

Engineers managed to heat up the reactor to 100 million degrees Celsius. This is seven times the temperature of the Sun. The heated plasma was held for 30 seconds. The scientists' next goal is 300 seconds. The principle of operation of a nuclear reactor is completely copied from the Sun. The device uses nuclear fusion in the same way to obtain infinite energy. The reactor is located in KSTAR. It is planned to be used for energy production in times of crisis. One such "artificial sun" can provide energy to entire cities and small countries. The cost of this "monster" remains unknown.

Modular robot Yarbo mows grass, removes snow and blows leaves.

All three modules are equipped with a millimeter-wave radar and a camera that allow the robot to detect and avoid obstacles. Yarbo navigates within a predetermined working area using GPS. It reportedly independently determines which path to follow in order to cover the area most effectively. The battery recharges wirelessly and operates in temperatures down to -30º C. One 2-hour charge is claimed to last for 2 hours of mowing, 90 minutes of snow removal or 50 minutes of leaf removal. On Kickstarter, the Yarbo has a starting price of $2,599 for the mower-module variant (estimated retail price of $4,399). For the model with all three modules - $3,699 (retail price $6,999). Deliveries should begin in December this year.
