Cockroaches provide clues to better locomotion! NSF Science Now 10

The video covers four NSF-funded research projects. First, a study on cockroach locomotion suggests that passive mechanical systems could improve robotics and prosthetics. Second, research on children's cognitive development highlights the importance of vocabulary and executive function skills. Third, a virtual reality system allows remote physical therapy through avatars. Lastly, astronomers discover early star formation in distant galaxies using advanced telescopes, offering insights into cosmic history.

What role does the ALMA telescope play in astronomical research?

In what ways could the findings from the South Pole Telescope and ALMA contribute to our understanding of cosmic history?
