Scientists at Stanford University have developed a self-healing synthetic skin made of silicone and polypropylene glycol materials that stretch like human skin without tearing, while magnetic properties allow the skin to self-align. The skin could lead to 'reconfigurable soft robots that can change shape and sense their deformation on demand,' ultimately transforming warfare. The team demonstrated how the stretchy skin works by placing three broken pieces of the robot on a table. In moments the pieces began to move toward each other and re-aligned into one piece. The long-term vision of the skin is to create devices that can recover from extreme damage.

A new study has found that the thin twilit zone where day meets night, known as the terminator, on closely-orbiting, duel-personality exoplanets may be habitable. The team employed modified climate modeling software usually used for Earth to determine if there's any way such worlds could be habitable. Interestingly, the team's work showed that more water was likely to render eyeball planets less habitable. The team's research has been published in The Astrophysical Journal.
