A research paper by scientists at Chinese Academy of Sciences presented a magnetically actuated soft electrode (MSE) with precise navigation, adaptive attachment, and high-fidelity signal acquisition.

A death toll of more than 1,100 is expected to rise significantly after a rare convergence of heavy rains and multiple cyclones that devastated multiple countries in south and southeast Asia. Cyclones — rotating storms with high winds in the Pacific Ocean — don’t normally manifest near the Earth’s equator, but last week’s extreme weather saw three such storms form in the area. As the frequency and intensity of cyclones ramp up, a team of researchers is calling for better forecasting with the development of intelligent observation networks.
