...then microwaves and, finally, long-wavelength radio waves. The flash that came from the Big Bang started out as visible light; by now, 13.7 billion years later, it's still streaming through space, but it has been stretched so much that astronomers have to use microwave antennas to detect it. The earliest galaxies came after the Big Bang, so their light isn't quite as old, hasn't been traveling as long and thus isn't stretched as much. That light should be detectable not as microwaves but as infrared--which is why the new telescopes will be fitted with...
...many situations, however, in which patients cannot utilize animal therapy: if they have allergies, are in certain public spaces, etc. The Huggable not only overcomes those hurdles, but should be able to interact with patients and provide quantitative information to caregivers. It will have full-body sensors that detect electric field, temperature and force from beneath its soft fur and is programmed with algorithms that should be able to distinguish petting, tickling, scratching, slapping and poking. "To be effective, therapeutic robotic companions must also be able to understand and appropriately respond to how a person touches it," the group...
...locked up without trial. American colleagues have been fighting identical battles. Those cases were won, but the status quo remains the same.
