  • The AI-powered robot named Emo watches people’s facial expressions and tries to match them, in an effort to make robots more relatable.⁠

    The humanoid robot can predict whether someone will smile a second before they do, and match the smile on its own face. The creators hope the technology could make interactions with robots more lifelike.⁠

  • Claudia de Rham has spent much of her life dedicated to exploring the limits and true nature of gravity. As she describes in her new book, The Beauty of Falling, de Rham trained to be a pilot and then an astronaut.

    To demonstrate gravity’s effects, New Scientist took her indoor skydiving at iFLY London, explaining how gravity acts on every cell of your body in the same way. Yet, gravity still isn’t fully understood. It doesn’t fit into the mould of the other fundamental forces, and quantum theory can’t yet explain it. For her part, de Rham has sought to make progress by thinking deeply about gravitons, the hypothetical carrier of the force of gravity. Each of the fundamental forces is carried by an equivalent "boson" particle – some have zero mass, others have a very small mass. De Rham wanted to know: what is the graviton's mass?

  • This is the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy as we have never seen it before. The image reveals the swirling magnetic fields around Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) and hints that the black hole may be producing a jet of high-energy material, which astronomers have yet to see.
