Liquid Mirrors Can Only Point Straight Up. Could Magnets Solve This Problem?
Astronomers have developed several versions of rotating liquid metal telescopes, which use the force of gravity and centripetal force to create a natural telescope lens. They work, but there's a downside: they can only point straight up, in the opposite direction of gravity. A new paper is investigating how electromagnets could work with magnetic fluids (ferrofluids) to shape the liquid into a spherical shape and give it more viewing angles.

What Would Happen if a Tiny Black Hole Passed Through Your Body?
Some astrophysicists theorize that there are primordial black holes, leftover from the formation of the universe. These could have a fraction of the mass of stellar and supermassive black holes and could even be a partial explanation for dark matter. In a new paper, a researcher investigates what would happen to the human body if one of these black holes passed through a person. How much mass, speed and gravity would be dangerous?
