NASA’s Swift space telescope may get a gentle robotic “boost” so it can stay in a higher orbit and keep watching big light-bursts in space. We also learn how a full-size humanoid robot uses sensors, computers, and careful testing, and what “mass production” means. Finally, a backbone fossil clue from Antarctica helps scientists identify a titanosaur and think about how Earth’s climate changed long ago.
