- Researchers found that pedestrian bridges don’t become more unstable as more people walk over them. Rather, when the number of people walking on a bridge passes a threshold, the force of their collective footfalls pushes the bridge from side to side in sync with the bridge’s minute oscillations http://www.sciencemag.org/news/2017/11/why-do-some-bridges-wobble-blame-way-pedestrians-walk-them 4 comments science

- Researchers in Spain and U.S. have announced they've discovered a new property of light -- "self-torque." Their experiment fired two lasers, slightly out of sync, at a cloud of argon gas resulting in a corkscrew beam with a gradually changing twist. They say this had never been predicted before. https://science.sciencemag.org/content/364/6447/eaaw9486 1023 comments science
