Tech Xplore / The sky is full of secrets: Glaring vulnerabilities discovered in satellite communications
With $800 of off‐the‐shelf equipment and months' worth of patience, a team of U.S. computer scientists set out to find out how well geostationary satellite communications are encrypted. And what they found was shocking.
Medical Xpress / Unusual KRAS mutation in pancreatic cancer may explain less aggressive tumors
A study led by Aaron Hobbs, Ph.D., and Rachel Burge, Ph.D., at MUSC Hollings Cancer Center, reveals why a specific gene mutation behaves differently from other variants.
Tech Xplore / A durable, polymer-based, flexible RF switch for 6G communication
A research team affiliated with UNIST has introduced a novel, high-performance, and thermally stable polymer-based non-volatile analog switch. This next-generation device is as thin and flexible as vinyl, yet capable of withstanding ...
Tech Xplore / A geometric twist boosts the power of robotic textiles
By rethinking how thin metal threads are woven into a flexible textile, EPFL researchers have created a lightweight fabric capable of lifting over 400 times its own weight. The work advances the development of wearables that ...
Phys.org / Women treat AI with greater skepticism than men do, study suggests
Women perceive artificial intelligence (AI) as riskier than men do, according to a study. Beatrice Magistro and colleagues hypothesized that women are both more exposed to risk from AI and are more averse to risk in general ...
Phys.org / Direct visualization captures hidden spatial order of electrons in a quantum material
The mystery of quantum phenomena inside materials—such as superconductivity, where electric current flows without energy loss—lies in when electrons move together and when they break apart. KAIST researchers have succeeded ...
Phys.org / Innovations in spatial imaging could unlock higher wheat yields
Researchers at the John Innes Center and the Earlham Institute are pioneering powerful single-cell visualization techniques that could unlock higher yields of global wheat.
Medical Xpress / Potential new target to treat Parkinson's disease discovered
About 1 million Americans suffer from Parkinson's disease, with around 90,000 new cases diagnosed each year, according to the Parkinson's Foundation. The chronic, degenerative brain disorder destroys dopamine-producing cells ...
Medical Xpress / How students with ADHD experience autonomy in learning
What's it like having ADHD when you are 11 years old and are expected to get on with your schoolwork just like everyone else?
Phys.org / Push and pull: Cities' living conditions and job quality can enhance human mobility models
Incorporating living conditions and job opportunities in cities into mathematical models of human mobility improves model accuracy. The traditional gravity model of human mobility uses the distance of a move and the population ...
Phys.org / How much of 'us' is really 'us'?
Some time around 1683, amateur Dutch scientist Antonie van Leeuwenhoek scraped the plaque from between his teeth and peered at it through a home-made microscope.
Phys.org / Sales effectiveness under digital monitoring examined
Digital and online technologies have made our workplace routines faster and easier. They have also made it easier for managers to keep tabs on workers, via monitoring apps designed to capture whether employees are "working ...
