Dr. Victoria Nash, associate professor and senior policy fellow at the Oxford Internet Institute, researches the governance challenges of digital technologies, with a particular focus on online safety, content moderation ...
Tech Xplore / Misleading text in the physical world can hijack AI-enabled robots, cybersecurity study shows
As a self-driving car cruises down a street, it uses cameras and sensors to perceive its environment, taking in information on pedestrians, traffic lights, and street signs. Artificial intelligence (AI) then processes that ...
Medical Xpress / Beyond the fear: Scientists test the health impacts of 5G
From street-level measurements to long-term health studies, researchers are building a clearer picture of the impact of everyday exposure to 5G signals on human health.
Phys.org / How to prevent charge buildup in a lunar rover
As they roll across shadowed regions of the moon's surface, future lunar rovers could develop hazardous buildups of electric charge on their wheels. Through new analysis published in Advances in Space Research, Bill Farrell ...
Phys.org / Old diseases return as settlement pushes into the Amazon rainforest
Human activity continues to expand ever further into wild areas, throwing ecology out of balance. But what begins as an environmental issue often evolves into a human problem.
Phys.org / Pig vaccine candidate outperforms leading available treatment in new trials
A vaccine developed to tackle Streptococcus suis, an economically damaging disease endemic in the global pig population, has outperformed a leading commercially available vaccine in a challenge trial. The trial showed the ...

New research into project management in software engineering shows that the most successful systems are not the ones that follow a fixed blueprint from the start, but those that evolve in response to real challenges as projects ...
Phys.org / Optical technique reveals hidden magnetic states in antiferromagnets
Imagine computer hardware that is blazing fast and stores more data in less space. That's the promise of antiferromagnets, magnetic materials that do not interfere with each other and can switch states at high speed, opening ...
Medical Xpress / Omitting Medicare data skews hospital readmission penalties, study shows
For more than a decade, hospitals have worked to help older adults avoid repeated inpatient stays, incentivized by a federal program that cuts Medicare reimbursements if hospitals have higher-than-expected rates of readmissions ...
Phys.org / Webb finds young sun-like star forging common crystals and flinging them into its outer disk
Astronomers have long sought evidence to explain why comets at the outskirts of our own solar system contain crystalline silicates, since crystals require intense heat to form and these "dirty snowballs" spend most of their ...
Phys.org / Study finds fisheries management—not predator recovery—drives catch levels in the North Sea
A new research study found that well-managed fisheries can support the recovery of large marine predators such as seals and porpoises, showing that conservation and sustainable seafood production can go hand in hand. While ...
