Tech Xplore / Hardware vulnerability allows attackers to hack AI training data
Researchers from NC State University have identified the first hardware vulnerability that allows attackers to compromise the data privacy of artificial intelligence (AI) users by exploiting the physical hardware on which ...
Phys.org / Deadwood brings wild orchids to life: Study uncovers important carbon flux in the ecosystem
Orchid seeds are as small as dust and do not provide any nutrients for the young plant to grow. The adult plants are known to rely on a certain type of fungi that develop structures within the plant's roots, but whether these ...
Phys.org / Analysis suggests attitudes, not income, drive energy savings at home
Some people flip off the lights the moment they leave a room, while others rarely think twice about saving energy. According to the most comprehensive analysis of people's sentiments toward household energy savings to date, ...
Phys.org / Protein sidekick exhibits dual roles in stress granule assembly and disassembly
Stress granules are droplet-like protein hubs that temporarily shield fragile RNA from cellular stresses such as toxins. VCP is a protein essential for breaking up stress granules and has been linked to neurodegenerative ...
Medical Xpress / Receptor in cerebellum provides new insights into molecular basis of ataxia
Researchers at Ruhr University Bochum, Germany, identified a receptor that plays a crucial role in stress-induced motor incoordination associated with ataxias. These hereditary motor disorders have long been linked to the ...
Tech Xplore / Back to the future: Is light-speed analog computing on the horizon?
Scientists have achieved a breakthrough in analog computing, developing a programmable electronic circuit that harnesses the properties of high-frequency electromagnetic waves to perform complex parallel processing at light-speed.
Medical Xpress / FDA approves at-home version of Lasix for heart failure care
A new at-home version of a common heart failure drug could make treatment easier for millions of Americans.
Phys.org / First system to track near-real time changes to global land cover created
Scientists can now receive near-real-time alerts about the world's lands as their surfaces change, thanks to a new satellite-based monitoring system described today in Nature Communications.
Tech Xplore / New haptic system lets soft objects respond to taps, squeezes and twists
New technology that invites expressive, two-way communication between a person and the soft, flexible object they are holding or wearing has been developed at the University of Bath.
Phys.org / Overconfidence persists even where regular feedback should discourage it, chess study finds
The late psychologist Daniel Kahneman once said if he could wave a magic wand and get rid of any bias, he would choose overconfidence. However, overconfidence is here to stay. In a recent study in Psychological Science, researchers ...
Phys.org / Smart cutting system used by female sawflies could transform surgery and reduce patient harm
Scientists at Heriot-Watt University have unlocked the secret behind how female sawflies make specific cuts to plants—a discovery that could revolutionize surgical instruments and dramatically reduce the cutting of healthy ...
Medical Xpress / Bird flu persists in raw milk cheese, study demonstrates
Raw milk cheese products contained infectious avian influenza virus when made with contaminated raw milk, creating potential health risks for consumers, according to a new study.
