For The First Time Ever, Astronomers Have Observed a Black Hole Using a Magnetic Field to Feed
Black holes are a mystery - dense regions of space where there's so much gravity not even light can escape.
Scientists from the NUST MISIS Laboratory of Inorganic Nanomaterials together with their international colleagues have proved it possible to change the structural and conductive properties of nanotubes by stretching them. This can potentially expand nanotubes’ application into electronics and high-precision sensors such as microprocessors and high-precision detectors.

Surprise Study Reveals Even Healthy Humans Are "Riddled" With Mutant Cells
If you thought your cell were mostly normal, it might be time to guess again. Your body may in fact be a shrine to colonies of mutant clones.
We created a OneSoil Map (https://map.onesoil.ai) that allows exploring and comparing fields, yields and crops both on a global and a field view. To make the agricultural information look so beautiful, we had to process 20 petabytes of various agricultural data with the help of machine learning technologies. This, we hope, will contribute to the development of AgTech sector and the growth of its popularity among farmers all over the world.
The map reveals new insights about local and global trends in crop production. It will help to predict market performance at all levels; and foster smart, real-time decision-making, precise statistics and predictions for everyone involved in agriculture.

Autonomous Tidying-up Robot System
That's really cool: Robot system is the first of its kind that can automatically keep a cluttered room neat and tidy at a practical level, something that has been difficult to achieve using conventional robot system. Thanks to the rapid advancement of deep learning technology in recent years, PFN has utilized cutting-edge deep learning techniques to enable the robot to recognize objects and understand spoken language as well as controlling the robot. As a result, the robot is able to quickly and accurately grasp and place objects, how to plan its movements, follow human instructions, all of which are essential for a robot to work in the human living space.
