| ESO telescopes record last moments of star devoured by a black hole Posted: 12 Oct 2020 08:59 AM PDT Astronomers have spotted a rare blast of light from a star being ripped apart by a supermassive black hole. The phenomenon, known as a tidal disruption event, is the closest such flare recorded to date at just over 215 million light-years from Earth, and has been studied in unprecedented detail. |
| Stacking and twisting graphene unlocks a rare form of magnetism Posted: 12 Oct 2020 08:59 AM PDT A team of researchers has discovered that a variety of exotic electronic states, including a rare form of magnetism, can arise in a three-layer graphene structure. |
| Engineers print wearable sensors directly on skin without heat Posted: 12 Oct 2020 07:31 AM PDT Wearable sensors are evolving from watches and electrodes to bendable devices that provide far more precise biometric measurements and comfort for users. Now, an international team of researchers has taken the evolution one step further by printing sensors directly on human skin without the use of heat. |
| 'Universal law of touch' will enable new advances in virtual reality Posted: 09 Oct 2020 01:24 PM PDT Seismic waves, commonly associated with earthquakes, have been used by scientists to develop a universal scaling law for the sense of touch. A team used Rayleigh waves to create the first scaling law for touch sensitivity. |
