MIT engineers develop a long, curved touch sensor that could enable a robot to grasp and manipulate objects in multiple ways. Imagine grasping a heavy object, like a pipe wrench, with one hand. You would likely grab the wrench using your entire fingers, not just your fingertips. Sensory receptors in your skin, which run along the entire length of each finger, would send information to your brain about the tool you are grasping.

Too much of a good thing? Banks enjoying high returns in favorable times could be ’warning sign’
Banks reporting high profits in good times could be taking greater risks with their portfolios that lead to bigger trouble in a future downturn, according to a study co-authored by a University of Michigan researcher and others with past affiliations to the school.

Women, minority faculty less likely to negotiate pay or seek other job opportunities
Study (PDF): Gender and Race-Based Differences in Negotiating Behavior among Tenured and Tenure-Track Faculty at Four-Year Institutions Race and gender inequities in faculty representation and support have been widely acknowledged, but a new University of Michigan study reveals a previously underexplored contributor to disparities in pay and employment conditions: negotiation behavior.

Should older adults with fewer years to live keep getting cancer screenings? U-M poll explores attitudes
Majority of people over 50 disagree with using life expectancy in guidelines for cancer screening tests Read the full poll report: Older Adults' Views on Cancer Screening Guidelines Past National Poll on Healthy Aging reports A majority of older adults disagree with the idea of using life expectancy as part of guidelines that say which patients should get cancer screenings such as mammograms and colonoscopies, a new poll finds.

3 Questions: Daniel Lew on what we can learn about cells from yeast
New professor of biology uses budding yeast to address fundamental questions in cell biology. Sipping a beer on an early autumn evening, one might not consider that humans and yeast have been inextricably linked for thousands of years; winemaking, baking, and brewing all depend on budding yeast.

Racial discrimination among teens linked to unhealthy stress hormone levels
Study abstract: Racial discrimination and hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis dysregulation in adolescents with overweight and obesity: does context matter? Scientists already know that the stress caused by racial discrimination is related to a host of chronic health conditions, but less is known about which types of discrimination are most harmful.

Asteroid rocks may aid future space missions
For now, it's the origin of life scientists have been seeking. And while the pieces of a primordial asteroid collected from a NASA spacecraft and brought to Earth this week may hold the clue, they may lead to a bigger, more ambitious mission. Samples taken from the 4.5-billion-year-old Bennu asteroid could very well make it easier for astronauts to travel to and live on Mars and, perhaps, worlds beyond our solar system, according to a University of Miami Ph.D.
