Chinas problem with smog, captured by NASAs Terra satellite
2013-12-13 15:40:42| Extremetech
Over the last few months, you may have heard about China's growing smog problem. In Beijing, Shanghai, and many other areas of China, the smog is so bad that the air quality index (AQI) has started spiking over 400, and sometimes reaching 500 -- the top of the AQI scale. Just for some context, an AQI above 100 is generally considered unhealthy -- over 300, and we're talking about a serious hazard to health (i.e. it can be lethal). To better illustrate the scale of China's smog problem, NASA has captured an image of China's northeastern seaboard that shows just how bad China's smog problem really is.

NASAs Valkyrie is a superhero robot that could lead us to Mars
2013-12-11 22:00:01| Extremetech
NASA's Johnson Space Center has finally unveiled Valkyrie, its "superhero robot" entry to the DARPA Robotics Challenge (DRC) Trials, which take place on December 20 in Florida. Valkyrie will compete against fellow humanoid robots, such as Atlas, on a series of eight physical tasks to test the dexterity and autonomy of the robots, with the chance of going forward to the DRC Finals in 2014, where it could win $2 million from the US government. The DRC isn't about money, though: It's all about accelerating humanity's development of advanced humanoid robots, for use in hazardous situations... such as war.
