| True identity of mysterious gamma-ray source revealed Posted: 03 Feb 2021 09:33 AM PST An international research team has shown that a rapidly rotating neutron star is at the core of a celestial object now known as PSR J2039?5617. |
| Load-reducing backpack powers electronics by harvesting energy from walking Posted: 03 Feb 2021 06:05 AM PST Hikers, soldiers and school children all know the burden of a heavy backpack. But now, researchers have developed a prototype that not only makes loads feel about 20% lighter, but also harvests energy from human movements to power small electronics. The new backpack could be especially useful for athletes, explorers and disaster rescuers who work in remote areas without electricity, the researchers say. |
| Physics of snakeskin sheds light on sidewinding Posted: 01 Feb 2021 12:54 PM PST Sidewinders' bellies are studded with tiny pits and have few, if any, of the tiny spikes found on the bellies of other snakes. The discovery includes a mathematical model linking these distinct structures to function. |
