**Solitons** Uncover the Groundbreaking Discovery of Topological Solitons Moving Like Dominoes in Robotic Metamaterials – A Game-Changer in Materials Science and Robotics!

by

Amsterdam, Netherlands – Researchers at the University of Amsterdam recently conducted a study showcasing the unique behavior of topological solitons in a robotic metamaterial. By harnessing non-reciprocal interactions, the team aims to revolutionize materials science and robotics, introducing new possibilities for self-propelled motion and advanced functionality. Topological solitons, which resemble particles in their behavior, are wave-like entities that can move around while retaining their shape. These solitons are integral to various natural and technological processes, …

**NASA Cancels Billion-Dollar Robotic Satellite Servicing Mission Due to Technical Challenges and Budget Overruns**

by

Cape Canaveral, Florida – NASA has decided to scrap a costly and long-delayed mission aimed at showcasing robotic satellite servicing technology in space. The project, known as the On-orbit Servicing, Assembly, and Manufacturing 1 mission (OSAM-1), had already consumed $1.5 billion in funds, with projections indicating it would require nearly another $1 billion to reach the launch stage. Initially focused on a simple refueling demonstration, the scope of the OSAM-1 mission expanded over the years …
