Trending: Harvard's soft exosuit, a wearable robot, lowered energy expenditure in healthy people walking with a load on their back by almost 23% compared to walking with the exosuit powered-off. Such a wearable robot has potential to help soldiers and workers, as well as patients with disabilities.

MathematicsUpdated Archimedes principle suggests the amount of water expelled by the tiny hairs on a water strider's legs should equal the flotation force, but confirming the phenomenon experimentally has proven difficult. Researchers managed to test the math by tracing the shadows cast by the strider's legs.

MathematicsEngineers trying to design tiny devices called microfluidic chips observed the way they funnel water droplets into an orderly single file, squeezing them out drop by drop. Instead of occurring randomly, the droplets follow a predictable pattern.

MathematicsA simple cryptography method can produce the unusual language-like features of a mysterious manuscript from the Middle Ages. The finding suggests that the famous Voynich manuscript may be an elaborate hoax, not a secret language to be decoded.

MathematicsUsing colony-living microbes as inspiration to explore why some individuals are by nature generous and others less so, researchers produce a mathematical model of social evolution that allows them to understand how far this is likely to be influenced by conditioning or the surrounding environment.
