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)

- 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.
