That moment sits at the center of a project called GrowBot. The creator, who runs the YouTube channel Art of the Problem, set out to build the simplest possible robot that could learn movement, perception, and even a kind of personality from the ground up. The result cost roughly $80 in parts, ran on a single Raspberry Pi Zero 2, and ended up revealing something unexpected about how fast physical action and slower thought can work together.

Webb Telescope Confirms Black Holes Cloaked in Gas Cocoons Powering the Early Universe’s Strange Red Glow

Astronomers aimed NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope at a distant galaxy cluster called Abell S1063 with one goal in mind. They wanted to hunt for some of the very first stars that ever formed.

Gravity from the foreground cluster acted like a natural magnifying glass, stretching a 30-hour observation into the effective power of an 80-hour exposure. The result gave researchers the deepest spectrum ever captured of one of these mysterious little red dots.
