On October 11, the Perseverance rover completed a drive that brought its total distance traveled on Mars to 28.10 miles (45.22 kilometers). This is a new record for Mars rovers, enabled in large part by Perseverance’s ability to drive with much more autonomy than its predecessors. Over the last five years, Perseverance’s autonomy software has been steadily upgraded, and to learn more about how the record was broken and what the future holds for the rover, we spoke with Mark Maimone,

Scientists have uncovered a surprising hidden ability of light that allows it to develop spinning, twisting behavior as it travels through empty space, without special lenses, mirrors, or materials. Researchers discovered that light’s internal geometry can naturally produce left- and right-handed patterns, challenging long-standing assumptions about how light behaves. By carefully arranging a beam’s structure, scientists can control where and how these spinning patterns emerge, unloc
