Nichelle Nichols talks to a group of students at NASA Mission Control in 1977 and visits the Lewis Research centre that same year.

In the mid-1970s, Nichols gave a speech that criticized NASA for not selecting women and ethnic minorities as astronaut candidates. The agency’s response was to hire her to find and recruit talented minorities and women, and she did exactly that. In her tenure as a recruiter, she helped the agency bring five women, three African American men and an Asian American male on board. (From Addicted to Sci Fi & Star Trek)

【液态金属有望成为机器人新型驱动方式】Scientists from China and Australia have made major progress in liquid metal robots, a prototype that resembles a robot in "The Terminator" sci-fi film franchise. The scientists have designed a controlled actuation of gallium liquid metal, which makes wheeled robots driven by a liquid metal droplet come true. The successful development of a self-powered wheeled robot driven by liquid metal can inspire a new method of fixing problems of traditional mechanisms, as well as promote the development of micro robots and special robots, according to a press release sent to Global Times by the University of Science and Technology of China (USTC) on Tuesday.
