South Korean chip giant SK hynix set pricing for its mega U.S. listing on Friday, raising $26.5 billion as it takes advantage of the AI boom in what will be one of the world's biggest-ever stock sales.
Medical Xpress / Glycoprotein G unlocks genital herpes spread to nerves, revealing vaccine target
Researchers at the University of Gothenburg have identified a key protein that allows the virus that causes genital herpes to get into the nervous system. The discovery, made in experiments on mice, could pave the way for ...
Phys.org / Satellites are transforming biodiversity monitoring for global nature targets, but major gaps remain
A new scientific review outlines how satellites and other remote sensing technologies are increasingly shaping how biodiversity and ecosystem health can be monitored at scale—offering new opportunities for countries reporting ...
Phys.org / Q&A: Examining the Global South's call for environmental justice amid expanding technology
Digital technologies—from artificial intelligence to smartphones and data centers—are often described as "clean" innovations. Yet every device depends on minerals, electricity, labor and global supply chains, raising important ...
Phys.org / Maize-fed animals may have helped Maya farmers solve corn's protein deficiency
Maize (corn) is a major dietary staple in Maya communities past and present because of its reliability, potential for surplus, and suitability as both food and fodder. It became so important to ancient Mesoamerican communities ...
Medical Xpress / Young people from less-advantaged backgrounds are more likely to have an undiagnosed eating disorder
Eating disorders are often associated with teenage girls from socioeconomically advantaged families. However, a new study from the University of Copenhagen challenges this perception, suggesting that eating disorders are ...
Phys.org / From The Godfather to Middlemarch: 8 of the most faithful adaptations ever
Adapting canonical literary classics into cinema is an inherently difficult task, as it requires walking a razor's edge between remaining faithful to the text and translating it into another medium.
Phys.org / Steering light in a flash: New chip redirects light beams in less than a trillionth of a second
Light can carry enormous amounts of information at extreme speeds, making photonic technologies promising for the development of faster communications, more powerful computing systems and more sensitive sensors. But for light ...
Phys.org / Antarctic ozone loss drove unexpected Southern Ocean cooling, climate model shows
The Southern Ocean has long stood out as an oddity in the global climate system. While most of the planet's surface oceans have warmed in response to rising greenhouse gases, waters circling Antarctica showed an unexpected ...
Phys.org / Researchers break a fundamental rule to create a new concept: Heat that can be directed and 'programmed'
Normally, a material absorbs and emits heat in a linked way: A surface that absorbs heat well at a certain wavelength and direction will also emit heat in the same way. This fundamental relationship, known as reciprocity, ...
Phys.org / California wolves feed heavily on cattle and their presence causes significant stress among livestock
Two new studies examining gray wolves in California paint a complex picture of life on the state's ranching landscapes: Wolves eat cattle more than anything else, and the presence of the predators causes significant stress ...
Phys.org / Quantum computers model nine fusion fuel material configurations for first time
A team of scientists from Oak Ridge National Laboratory, Cleveland Clinic and IBM has calculated nine molecular configurations of a promising material to produce fuel for fusion energy—the first known instance of such computations ...
