Researchers use color-changing fibers to test knot strength
In a groundbreaking study, researchers led by MIT's Vishal Patil have utilized fibers that change colors when placed under varying amounts of strain to test the strength and durability of various kinds of knots. While knots have been used by humans for millennia, little is known about the mathematical interactions between the various levels of strain utilized in different knots, which this study explored with great success.

For The First Time, Physicists Have Controlled The Interaction of Time Crystals
The existence of time crystals - a particularly fascinating state of matter - was only confirmed a few short years ago, but physicists have already made a pretty major breakthrough: they have induced and observed an interaction between two time crystals.

Math Riddle From the 1980’s Finally Solved – Could Be Used to Improve Phones and Computers
Researchers thought that they were five years away from solving a math riddle from the 1980’s. In reality, and without knowing, they had nearly cracked the problem already. “ We had nearly given up on getting the last piece and solving the riddle. We thought we had a minor result, one that was interesting, but in no way solved the problem.

Scientists Discovered Closest Black Hole to the Earth
The European astronomers have found the closest black hole to Earth yet, so near that the two stars dancing with it can be seen by the naked eye. The black hole is part of what used to be a three-star dance in a system called HR6819.

Harvard study confirms irregular sleeping hours can make you fat
Harvard recently conducted a study where they traced sleeping habits of 61 students over 30 days and correlated the sleeping habits with grades. The study found that students who went to bed early and woke up early did better in school than those who slept irregular hours. The same study confirmed that Irregular sleepers had delayed circadian rhythms compared to regular sleepers which resulted in weight gain.
