| Rarest seal breeding site discovered Posted: 01 Mar 2021 06:16 PM PST Scientists have discovered a previously unknown breeding site used by the world's rarest seal species. |
| Novel soft tactile sensor with skin-comparable characteristics for robots Posted: 01 Mar 2021 10:38 AM PST A research team has developed a new soft tactile sensor with skin-comparable characteristics. A robotic gripper with the sensor mounted at the fingertip could accomplish challenging tasks such as stably grasping fragile objects and threading a needle. Their research provided new insight into tactile sensor design and could contribute to various applications in the robotics field, such as smart prosthetics and human-robot interaction. |
| Neanderthals had the capacity to perceive and produce human speech Posted: 01 Mar 2021 08:23 AM PST Neanderthals -- the closest ancestor to modern humans -- possessed the ability to perceive and produce human speech, according to a new study. |
| Bottling the world's coldest plasma Posted: 01 Mar 2021 06:11 AM PST Physicists have discovered a way to trap the world's coldest plasma in a magnetic bottle, a technological achievement that could advance research into clean energy, space weather and solar physics. |
| Astronomers accurately measure the temperature of red supergiant stars Posted: 28 Feb 2021 08:43 AM PST Red supergiants are a class of star that end their lives in supernova explosions. Their lifecycles are not fully understood, partly due to difficulties in measuring their temperatures. For the first time, astronomers develop an accurate method to determine the surface temperatures of red supergiants. |
| Delayed radio flares after star is destroyed by black hole Posted: 23 Feb 2021 08:07 AM PST A team of researchers has discovered evidence of radio flares emitted only long after a star is destroyed by a black hole. |
