Tech Xplore / A new attack slips past the latest defenses built into your computer's processor
Chipmakers and operating system developers have spent years building defenses. A new study from MIT's Computer Science and Artificial Intelligence Laboratory (CSAIL) shows that a key assumption behind many of them doesn't ...
Phys.org / New quantum encryption method prevents ciphertext from being cloned
Digital security currently relies on difficult equations to protect data. For example, when you use a credit card online, the information is locked inside a math problem that would take a modern computer thousands of years ...
Tech Xplore / Prototype glasses can turn infrared into color vision
The human eye, as good as it is, misses out on so much of the world because it is limited in what it can perceive. It can't see X-rays, ultraviolet rays or infrared light. While X-ray goggles are still the stuff of science ...
Phys.org / Hidden anatomy of clouds reveals how rain may begin without ice crystals
The initiation of rain in clouds without ice remains one of the largest unsolved mysteries in atmospheric science.
Medical Xpress / Deadly Candida auris hides in hair follicles by rewiring skin immunity
Since its discovery in Japan in 2009, a deadly fungus has emerged in hospitals around the world. The pathogen, known as Candida auris, lives silently on the skin. But it can be deadly if it reaches the bloodstream, killing ...
Medical Xpress / What is emotional regulation? A child psychologist explains
If you've followed mental health topics on TikTok or Instagram lately, you have probably heard the term emotional regulation. But emotional regulation isn't just a trendy buzzword. It's a nuanced concept that psychologists ...
Phys.org / A temperature dial for more realistic quantum simulations
Scientists from Rice University in the U.S. have developed a way to precisely tune the temperature inside a trapped-ion simulator. The breakthrough means they will be able to run quantum simulations at precise temperatures ...
Phys.org / Honduras review confirms 227 native mammal species after eight-year effort
An eight-year international research effort has produced the most comprehensive review of Honduras' mammals since 1998, verifying 227 native species across 146 genera and 42 families, along with three introduced rodent species. ...
Phys.org / Uranus's unusual rotation makes its bow shock expand and contract each day
Within our solar system, Uranus is a geometric oddball. Its spin axis tilts more than 90° from its orbit, so it essentially rolls on its side through space. In contrast, Earth and other planets tilt only moderately or not ...
Phys.org / New platform speeds bacterial gene mapping for better biotech design
Scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory have created a platform that pinpoints genetic triggers that turn microbes into efficient factories for new chemicals and materials. The method enables ...
Medical Xpress / Early Alzheimer's patients pursuing lecanemab show low adherence to brain health advice
Researchers at the Mass General Brigham Neuroscience Institute found that most patients with early Alzheimer's disease are not optimally adhering to recommendations for improving their brain health, including exercising, ...
Medical Xpress / New therapy eliminates gum disease bacterium while preserving beneficial oral microbes
Researchers at Nagoya University in Japan have created an innovative treatment for periodontitis that targets and eliminates harmful bacteria while preserving beneficial oral microbes essential for health. The findings were ...
