Newly-developed acoustic technologies used to move particles and create haptic feedback in mid-air have stirred the imagination of many researchers. Unfortunately, the complexity of the equipment required to perform these functions has meant that air-shaping technology has been somewhat expensive and difficult. Now researchers in Germany have created a simple system that uses printed plastic…

Gravitational Waves Observed For A Second Time
This year will be remembered as the year of LIGO, the US-based gravitational wave observatory. After February’smomentous discovery, an international team has now confirmed another observation of gravitational waves from colliding black holes. The incoming signal again pointed at two black holes merging, and scientists were able to infer that the black holes were between eight and 14 times the mass of…
