Wireless system uses radio signals to monitor sleep positions

In order to track how someone’s body position changes as they sleep, they typically either have to be rigged up with stick-on sensors, or filmed by a video camera. MIT’s new BodyCompass system, however, offers a third alternative that many people may p… Continue reading Wireless system uses radio signals to monitor sleep positions

Fast-radio-burst-like signal traced to dead star in our galaxy

We may be a step closer to understanding the mystery of fast radio bursts (FRBs), as astronomers have now detected the first such signal from within our own galaxy. The radio burst in this case was traced to a highly magnetic dead star called a magneta… Continue reading Fast-radio-burst-like signal traced to dead star in our galaxy
