Tech Xplore / Security vulnerabilities in Tesla's Model 3 and Cybertruck reveal how connected cars can be hacked
Hackers could exploit wireless systems in Tesla's Model 3 and Cybertruck to track vehicles, disrupt communications, and interfere with network performance, according to research from Northeastern University posted to the ...
Phys.org / Q&A: How the 'science of reading' is reshaping literacy education
Stanford Professor Rebecca Silverman discusses a transformative movement backed by research that is changing literacy instruction in schools nationwide. After decades of debate over the most effective way to teach literacy, ...
Tech Xplore / Resilient nylon-11 film generates electricity from pressure and survives repeated runovers
RMIT University researchers have developed a flexible nylon-film device that generates electricity from compression and keeps working even after being run over by a car multiple times, opening the door to self-powered sensors ...
Phys.org / From local action to global impact: New framework presented for advancing sustainable development
As countries strive to achieve the United Nations' Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by 2030, a new international study published in Nature Communications brings together 19 researchers in 13 institutions—including Jianguo ...
Phys.org / Uncovering evolution at the center of cell division
Centromeres play virtually the same central role across the entire tree of life: They ensure the faithful segregation of chromosomes during cell division. Yet the striking diversity in centromere architecture—from large, ...
Phys.org / New insights into how bacteria control DNA synthesis open the door to next generation antimicrobials
Ribonucleotide reductases (RNR) are indispensable enzymes that convert ribonucleotides to deoxyribonucleotides (dNTPs), the precursors to make up DNA. Because DNA synthesis is fundamental to cell survival, RNR activity must ...
Tech Xplore / New gel electrolyte points to stronger, safer anode-free lithium batteries
Researchers at Columbia Engineering have developed a new gel electrolyte that both improves the lifetime and safety of anode-free lithium batteries, an emerging battery architecture that could dramatically boost energy density ...
Medical Xpress / Remote-controlled CAR-T cells use venetoclax to disengage from tumors
Among the most promising tools of cancer therapy, engineered immune cells known as chimeric antigen-receptor (CAR) T cells have already transformed the treatment of blood cancers. Yet, despite their promise, CAR-T cells do ...
Phys.org / Strong correlations and superconductivity observed in a supermoiré lattice
Two or more graphene layers that are stacked with a small twist angle in relation to each other form a so-called moiré lattice. This characteristic pattern influences the movement of electrons inside materials, which can ...
Medical Xpress / Key alterations discovered in the cerebral cortex of people with psychosis
Researchers at the University of Seville have analyzed alterations in the cerebral cortex in people suffering from psychosis. Their findings show that psychosis does not follow a single trajectory, but rather its evolution ...
Phys.org / How a certain form of dark matter may lead to the generation of cosmological magnetic fields
Tiny highly uniform magnetic fields are known to pervade the universe, influencing various cosmological processes. To date, however, the physical mechanisms underpinning the generation of these fields remain poorly understood. ...
Phys.org / Stronger scents and healthier crops: Unlocking plants' hidden potential through precision gene editing
Scientists have long sought to understand why some plants are fragrant powerhouses while others remain subtle. Now, a research team from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem has cracked a genetic "bottleneck," using precision ...
