Tech Xplore / 'Not just an IT issue': The human threat to cybersecurity
Organizations could be better protected from cybercrime by investing in more leadership and staff decision-making, a University of Queensland study has found.
Phys.org / Female candidates punished for negative language on the campaign trail, new study finds
As female leaders continue to face heightened scrutiny in politics and public life, new research from Monash University reveals female candidates face distinct constraints in how they communicate with voters. The study is ...
Medical Xpress / Research uncovers fatal delays in EpiPen treatment for food anaphylaxis in children
Fatal delays in administering life-saving adrenaline autoinjector (EpiPen) for food anaphylaxis, a severe and rapid allergic reaction, are highlighted in research presented at the Royal College of Emergency Medicine Conference. ...
Medical Xpress / Can virtual mirrors fix hospital patient bottlenecks?
An article titled "How Digital Twins Can Improve Health System Operations," written by Mark Crawford, explores how virtual replicas of entire hospital ecosystems are allowing administrators to test high-risk operational changes ...
Phys.org / Wildfire posts can save crucial minutes, but one hidden effect is reshaping how crews and resources get deployed
Social media posts are a double-edged sword for public agencies that respond to emergencies such as wildfires. New research from the University of Waterloo shows that while posts by citizens who see emergencies in the making ...
Medical Xpress / Blocking two proteins reverses lung scarring in pre-clinical study
A Virginia Tech team has identified a promising new therapeutic strategy for idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF), showing that blocking two proteins can halt and even reverse lung scarring in pre-clinical models.
Phys.org / An interplanetary shortcut can speed up trips to Mars
Whether it's robotic rovers heading to Mars or, one day, a crew of astronauts, a round-trip journey is an incredibly long one. But there may be a way to find a shortcut. A new study published in the journal Acta Astronautica ...
Dialog / Do decoherence, gravity, dark matter and dark energy all originate from quantum corrections?
Only about 5% of the universe is composed of normal matter that we can directly observe, while the remaining 95% is widely believed to consist of dark matter and dark energy. Paradoxically, however, the nature of these dark ...
Phys.org / Classical physics can explain quantum weirdness, study shows
When you throw a ball in the air, the equations of classical physics will tell you exactly what path the ball will take as it falls, and when and where it will land. But if you were to squeeze that same ball down to the size ...
Phys.org / Image: Fiery fall color in southern Chile
The bright whites of mountain snow, muted browns of the arid plains, and gem-like blues and teals of glacial lakes typically dominate the Patagonian color palette. But for a short time in the austral autumn, temperate deciduous ...
Phys.org / Why does life prefer one 'hand' over the other? New study points to electron spin
A team of scientists has identified a new physical mechanism that could help explain one of the most persistent mysteries in science: why life consistently uses one "handed" version of its molecules and not the other. In ...
Phys.org / Why did Clovis toolmakers choose difficult quartz crystal? New study offers clues
Quartz crystals are difficult to knap due to size, hardness, and crystalline structure, making them a "low-quality" raw material. However, the Clovis people of North America sometimes made points and other tools from this ...
