Quantum computing has huge promise from a technical perspective, but the practical benefits are less clear.
People have been flying airplanes for well over a century. Engineers know how to balance all the forces at play, but still aren’t exactly sure how some of the physics of flight actually works.
The people manning the guns are also at risk of injury from the force of the weapon.
Robots often have a hard time navigating through debris, but robots designed based on worms and snakes could move around obstacles faster, thanks to an idea called mechanical intelligence.
