- Simulations of the light echoes off of the accretion disk around a maximally spinning (“Kerr”) black hole. Sound computed by Dr. Kyle Keane, MIT Quest for Intelligence http://quest.mit.edu, and Prof. Erin Kara, MIT Physics Department https://physics.mit.edu. Animation computed by Michal Dovciak, ASU CAS. The white circle indicates the location of the black hole event horizon, and the echoes of light are color-coded by their observed frequency, which can be distorted by Doppler shifts and by the strong gravity of the black hole. The simulation has been sonified such that lower frequency light corresponds to a lower pitch sound. (Learn more: https://news.mit.edu/2022/search-reveals-eight-new-sources-black-hole-echoes-0502)

- Description
- A new kind of fiber developed by researchers at MIT and in Sweden can be made into cloth that senses how much it is being stretched or compressed, and then provides immediate tactile feedback in the form of pressure or vibration. Such fabrics, the team suggests, could be used in garments that help train singers or athletes to better control their breathing, or that help patients recovering from disease or surgery to recover their normal breathing patterns.

- On Sept. 5, 2021, for the first time, a large high-temperature superconducting electromagnet was ramped up to a field strength of 20 tesla, the most powerful magnetic field of its kind ever created on Earth. That successful demonstration helps resolve the greatest uncertainty in the quest to build the world’s first fusion power plant that can produce more power than it consumes, according to the project’s leaders at MIT and startup company Commonwealth Fusion Systems.

This phenomenon could make it possible to use brackish or salty water, without any pretreatment, rather than relying on freshwater sources, for cooling systems in power plants.
