Every galaxy, including our own Milky Way, has at its center a massive black hole whose gravity influences the stars around it. Generally, the stars orbit around the black hole without incident, but sometimes a star will wander a little too close, and the black hole will "make a meal" of the star in a process astrophysicists have termed spaghettification.

Prompted by the increasing prominence of artificial intelligence (AI) in society, researchers investigated public attitudes toward the ethics of AI.

Engaging with natural environments and representations of nature has been shown to improve mood states and reduce cognitive decline in older adults. The current study evaluated the use of virtual reality (VR) for presenting immersive 360 degree nature videos and a digitally designed interactive garden for this purpose. Fifty participants (age 60 plus), with varied cognitive and physical abilities, were recruited. Data were collected through pre/post-intervention surveys, standardized observations during the interventions, and post-intervention semi structured interviews. The results indicated significant improvements in attitudes toward VR and in some aspects of mood and engagement. The responses to the environment did not significantly differ among participants with different cognitive abilities; however, those with physical disabilities expressed stronger positive reactions on some metrics compared to participants without disabilities. Almost no negative impacts (cybersickness, task

Yao, and Eugene DemlerAtomically thin materials are highly versatile platforms to sharpen our understanding of two-dimensional superconductivity. However, such materials are not amenable to many conventional experimental techniques used for three-dimensional superconductors, making it difficult to probe the origin and symmetry of Cooper pairing. To investigate superconducting transitions and access the pairing wave function, the authors propose a wireless, table-top probe - noise magnetometry by a single-spin qubit. The technique can elucidate various nonlocal transport regimes inaccessible to other probes. It can also detect elusive collective modes like Josephson plasmons. [Phys. Rev.

Stiles, and Julie GrollierFerromagnetic nanoconstrictions can serve as integrate-and-fire neurons, communicating via spin-wave pulses analogous to neural spikes. The nanoconstriction geometry leads to easy-plane oscillators which manifest phase dynamics analogous to damped driven oscillators. The authors propose a sample geometry where nanoconstrictions undergo phase slips and produce pulses of spin-wave signals when triggered by a small spin torque. They show with the help of macrospin modeling and micromagnetic simulations that these spin-wave pulses can excite other nanoconstriction neurons and that they possess the basic fan-in and fan-out capability required for neuromorphic systems.

The development of plant genetic engineering lags behind the development of animal genetic engineering. Plant cells differ from animal cells in several aspects, a major one being that, in addition to the cell membrane, they possess a wall surrounding them to provide mechanical and structural support. In recent years, breakthroughs in nanotechnology for genetic engineering have provided more favorable tools for the genetic transformation of plants. A review summarizes the types of gene carriers used in plant genetic transformation, the ways of combining with foreign genes, and the differences and advantages compared with earlier traditional transgenic methods.

There is a growing need for authentication methodology in virtual reality applications. Current systems assume that the immersive experience technology is a collection of peripheral devices connected to a personal computer or mobile device. Hence there is a complete reliance on the computing device with traditional authentication mechanisms to handle the authentication and authorization decisions. Using the virtual reality controllers and headset poses a different set of challenges as it is subject to unauthorized observation, unannounced to the user given the fact that the headset completely covers the field of vision in order to provide an immersive experience. As the need for virtual reality experiences in the commercial world increases, there is a need to provide other alternative mechanisms for secure authentication. In this paper, we analyze a few proposed authentication systems and reached a conclusion that a multidimensional approach to authentication is needed to address the
