U.S. Scientists Created The World’s Smallest Autonomous Robots (Bacteria-Sized). They Cost A Cent/Robot, & Use Ion-Driven Propulsion In Fluid (No Moving Parts) & Light For Power/Programming. Equipped With The Smallest Computer, They Sense Temp Changes, “Wiggle” To Signal, & Coordinate Like Fish. With Potential Uses For Medical/Env. Tasks.

JWST Made The First Detection Of Carbon-Rich Molecules In The Gas-Dust Disk Around CT Cha b (~620 Ly Away). The Disk May Form Exomoons Via A Hydrocarbon-Dominated Path Unlike Our Solar System Moons. CT Cha b Has 14–24 Jupiter Masses And Orbits Far From Its Star, Blurring If It’s A Planet Or A Failed Star, But Offers Clues To Moon Formation.

Carreras Pampa, Bolivia, Is Now The World’s Largest Dino Tracksite, With 16,600 Theropod Prints & 1,378 Swim Tracks. The Upper Cretaceous Site, Surpassing Cal Orck’o, Also Holds Records For Continuous Trackways & Tail Traces. Tracks Show Varied Behaviors (Walking, Swimming, Group Travel) On A Flat Surface, Unlike Cal Orck’o’s Vertical Wall.
