| Using science to explore a 60-year-old Russian mystery Posted: 29 Jan 2021 06:05 AM PST Researchers have conducted an original scientific study that puts forth a plausible explanation for the mysterious 1959 death of nine hikers in the Ural Mountains in the former Soviet Union. The tragic Dyatlov Pass Incident, as it came to be called, has spawned a number of theories, from murderous Yeti to secret military experiments. |
| Threads that sense how and when you move? New technology makes it possible Posted: 29 Jan 2021 06:04 AM PST Engineers have developed a thread-based sensor capable of monitoring the direction, angle of rotation and degree of displacement of the head. The design is a proof of principle that could be extended to measuring movements of other limbs by sensors attached like tatoos to the skin. |
| New concept for rocket thruster exploits the mechanism behind solar flares Posted: 28 Jan 2021 10:47 AM PST A new type of rocket thruster that could take humankind to Mars and beyond has been proposed by a physicist. The device would apply magnetic fields to cause particles of plasma to shoot out the back of a rocket and propel the craft forward. |
| High schoolers discover four exoplanets through mentorship program Posted: 28 Jan 2021 06:42 AM PST They may be the youngest astronomers to make a discovery yet. This week, a 16-year-old and an 18-year-old have co-authored a peer-reviewed paper describing the discovery of four new exoplanets about 200-light-years away from Earth. |
| Hypnotic suggestions can make a complex task easy by helping vision fill in the blanks Posted: 27 Jan 2021 02:18 PM PST New research demonstrates that hypnosis -- the process of focusing a person's attention on a specific task or sensation -- can turn a normally difficult visual task into a far easier one by helping individuals mentally 'fill in the gaps' of missing visual cues. |
