Touch Earth. Sense that flower…
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. (1) Touch the rhinoceros. Touch me. Touch Earth. They all feel it. And so do you. A sense of…

Venus on Moon…
A growing body of research suggests the planet Venus may have had an Earth-like environment billions of years ago, with water and a thin atmosphere. (1) Read me a poem. Try not to cry. I am here. Just listen to the moon. Will you travel far away? Will you forget me? My thought will always…

Can you accept yourself?
Researchers have now developed a new model that describes driving behavior on the basis of one underlying 'human' principle: managing the risk below a threshold level. This model can accurately predict human behavior during a wide range of driving tasks. In time, the model could be used in intelligent cars, to make them feel less…

Earth’s rust…
To the surprise of many planetary scientists, the oxidized iron mineral hematite has been discovered at high latitudes on the Moon, according to a study published in Science Advances led by Shuai Li. "Our hypothesis is that lunar hematite is formed through oxidation of lunar surface iron by the oxygen from the Earth's upper atmosphere…

The bar mystery…
The majority of spiral galaxies, like our home the Milky Way, host a large bar-like structure of stars in their canter. Knowledge of the true bar size and rotational speed is crucial for understanding how galaxies form and evolve. However our galaxy's bar size and rotational speed have been strongly contested in the last 5…
