As Cassini reaches the end, we should prepare the next mission

...thinking about sending the next probe...NASA’s Cassini mission has made its “death plunge” into the swirling clouds of Saturn after 20 years of exploring the planet and its moons. It’s been amazingly successful, making headlines with groundbreaking discoveries throughout its journey. But today the headlines are more like obituary notices, looking back at the...

Attacked but not hacked: How secure was the US election?

...systems. Of course, since votes are still being tallied, we’re not in the clear yet. But current indications are that this was a fairly uneventful election, from a cybersecurity perspective at least. So far, we’ve seen no public evidence of Russian hackers, 400-pound or otherwise, attacking individual voting machines from their bedrooms (to use a very tired old...

...think of that planning system that took so many years? COLIN MATTHEWS: Well, I think it took about 18 years for T5 to go through planning. And that’s just too long. That’s not serving the interests of the UK, to take that long over thinking about important bits of national infrastructure. Having said that, though, I don’t think that’s all down to the planning...

What makes people happy at work?

The law-making process in England and Wales

...system because we think it’s basically unfair. People’s votes don’t count the same. You can be in some parts of the country where if you vote Labour, you’ll never get a Labour MP and your vote is wasted. And other parts you can vote Conservative or Liberal Democrats and your vote is wasted because you’ll never return under first-past-the-post system, the current...

Exomoons: astronomers report first ever discovery

...system other than our own...[View of mountains against the sky and moon at night] In Star Wars VI we first meet the Ewoks living on the Forest Moon of Endor. The planet Endor itself is a gas giant, but the Forest Moon is a habitable world, peopled by small furry sentient creatures. A new study, published in Science Advances, reports signs of such an “exomoon” orbiting...

Understanding language and learning

...think also the connection language is a separate system as, you know, English is different from Tamil and Brazilian or Portuguese, etc. I think people are beginning to acknowledge that language is so much more fluid. They interact with each other. They form a repertoire where English is part of other languages. So there are kind of major shifts in human linguistics about...

An introduction to artificial intelligence

...think it is safe to introduce an automated system which would make this inequitable system more efficient? Another way of putting this question might be: do you think it is safe to design an efficiently inequitable system? Given the choice of deploying such technology with the result of a more efficient yet inequitable system, or delaying such ......
