Facebook has taken down 103 "assets" - pages, groups and accounts - linked to employees of Pakistan Army's media wing and involved in "coordinated inauthentic behaviour", the social media giant said on Monday. The company - which shared details on "four separate, distinct and unconnected" takedowns linked to both Pakistan and India - said it had removed the pages, accounts and groups set up by the networks "for violating Facebook's policies on coordinated inauthentic behaviour or spam".

NASA spots ravioli-like moons nestled in Saturn's rings
NASA's Cassini spacecraft, which conducted closest-ever flybys of Saturn, beamed back detailed images of tiny moons which resemble raviolis nestled in the planet's rings. The images reveal that the surfaces of these unusual moons are covered with material from Saturn's rings and icy particles blasting out of the planet's larger moon Enceladus. The research may help explain how competing processes shape these mini-moons, NASA said in a statement. "The daring, close flybys of these odd little moons let us peer into how they interact with Saturn's rings," said Bonnie Buratti of NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in the US. "We're seeing more evidence of how extremely active and dynamic the Saturn ring and moon system is," said Buratti, who led the team. The research, published in the journal Science, from data gathered by six of Cassini's instruments before its mission ended in 2017, is a clear confirmation that dust and ice from the rings accretes onto the moons embedded within and near ..

Now, 'smart' pajamas to monitor, help improve sleep
Scientists have developed "smart" pajamas embedded with self-powered sensors that provide unobtrusive and continuous monitoring of heartbeat, breathing and sleep posture -- factors that play a role in how well a person slumbers. The garment called "Phyjama" could give ordinary people, as well as clinicians, useful information to help improve sleep patterns, said researchers from the University of Massachusetts in the US. "Our smart pajamas overcame numerous technical challenges," said Trisha L Andrew, who led the team. "We had to inconspicuously integrate sensing elements and portable power sources into everyday garments, while maintaining the weight, feel, comfort, function and ruggedness of familiar clothes and fabrics," Andrew said in a statement. Getting enough quality sleep can help protect people against stress, infections and multiple diseases, such as heart and kidney disease, high blood pressure and diabetes, researchers said. Studies have found that quality sleep also ...
