In an era dominated by rigid glass screens and plastic interfaces, a revolutionary approach to touch input technology is emerging from academic research. The HydroHaptics system, developed at the University of Bath, represents a fundamental shift in how we physically interact with digital systems, using fluid-based mechanisms to create adaptive, natural-feeling feedback through soft, deformable materials.
HydroHaptics Technology: Fluid-Based Touch Interface Revolutionizing Haptic Feedback
Researchers at the University of Bath have developed HydroHaptics, a groundbreaking technology that enables responsive touch interfaces through fluid-filled chambers. This innovation allows soft materials like cushions and clothing to provide lifelike haptic feedback, creating more natural human-computer interaction.

Interstellar Comet 3I/ATLAS Spraying Water Vapor Far From Sun, Scientists Discover
Astronomers have discovered interstellar comet 3I/ATLAS spewing water vapor at firehose-like rates while surprisingly distant from the Sun. The findings suggest water chemistry for life may be common across star systems, challenging our understanding of comet behavior.
Astronomers have made a startling discovery about our solar system’s interstellar visitor 3I/ATLAS – the object is spraying enormous amounts of water vapor while remarkably far from the Sun, according to recent analysis published in The Astrophysical Journal Letters. The interstellar comet is ejecting water at approximately 88 pounds per second, equivalent to a fire hose running at full blast, despite being about three astronomical units from the Sun where typical comets remain frozen. This unexpected behavior challenges fundamental assumptions about comet activity and suggests the ingredients for life’s chemistry may be widespread throughout the galaxy.
