(Courtesy: iStock/Lucian3D). I imagine astronomers are feeling pretty pleased with themselves. That’s because the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) – the long-awaited successor to Hubble – is nearing the L2 Lagrange point, roughly 1.5 million kilometres from Earth, with all seemingly going to plan. The JWST’s spectacular 6.5 metre primary mirror, which had been folded up on the telescope’s journey from Earth, has been unfurled, aligned and cooled, protected by a massive, tennis-court-sized

Camels are adapted for life in arid environments and are therefore very good at finding sources of drinking water. Now, Weiguo Huang at the Fujian Institute of Research on the Structure of Matter, Chinese Academy of Sciences and colleagues have developed a humidity sensor that is inspired by the structure and properties of the nose of a camel. They say that their device can detect changes in humidity in several environments including industrial exhausts and nearby to human skin.
