Tech Xplore / AI worm adapts across networks, turning any online device into potential target
A team of researchers at the University of Toronto has discovered a new class of cyberthreat that gives hackers more power and reach at far less cost. It can be built with free AI models. Every online device is a potential ...
Phys.org / DNA repair enzyme uses one-dimensional sliding to detect key sites, researchers reveal
DNA is the blueprint of the human body. However, tens of thousands of DNA lesions occur in our bodies every day. In particular, if "apurinic/apyrimidinic sites" (AP sites, damaged sites where one letter of DNA information ...
Tech Xplore / Framework generates 'shadow art' from scan of any object
Some people have a gift for creating beautiful works of art. Others appreciate art but do not have the talent to create it. Researchers at Cornell Tech and the Cornell Bowers College of Computing and Information Science have ...
Phys.org / On-demand Arctic observations with low-cost balloon systems could sharpen local storm forecasts
Arctic communities are increasingly exposed to dangerous weather events due to climate change and rely on accurate weather forecasts. However, conditions in the lower atmosphere remain poorly observed in the Arctic because ...
Medical Xpress / Brain circuit links memory to hearing, revealing how learned sounds guide behavior
Short-term memories are thought to be formed deep within the brain in structures such as the hippocampus, but little is known about how and where memory-related information is kept in the brain or the process of drawing on ...
Medical Xpress / Immune barrier may explain why mRNA shots struggle to block nasal infection
A consistent biological barrier that stops the immune system from making the antibodies most needed to protect the nose and throat from respiratory viruses has been identified. The discovery, led by researchers from the University ...
Tech Xplore / Researchers improve efficiency, durability of nickel-based SOECs for electrochemical CO₂ conversion
A Korean research team has resolved a major durability issue in solid oxide electrolysis cells (SOECs), a technology that converts carbon dioxide (CO₂) into high-value chemical feedstocks. Researchers at the Korea Research ...
Tech Xplore / From waste wood to load-bearing feature, a simple calculation could change the way we use 'misfit wood'
Urging industry to make better use of wood that is wasted or burned for energy, researchers have released the first structural tests of non-straight, forked, and double-curved roundwood logs used as columns. In his mission ...
Phys.org / ExoMars rover targets vast bed of clay in search for life
In the region where the ExoMars Rosalind Franklin rover will search for signs of life, clay deposits extend beyond previous estimates, a new study finds. One hypothesis even suggests a vast ocean once covered the landing ...
Medical Xpress / Alzheimer's gene map expands to 91 loci, revealing 16 previously unknown risk regions
An international collaboration of genetic researchers has identified more than 90 genetic regions associated with the risk of Alzheimer's disease and related dementias. The large-scale meta-analysis reveals new biological ...
Phys.org / Australia seizes 100,000 cockroaches in bug-breeder bust
Wildlife officers have busted an illegal cockroach-breeding operation in rural Australia, seizing a skin-crawling haul worth more than $100,000 on the black market for exotic bugs.
Phys.org / D&D-seq maps DNA-protein interactions in single cells with multi-omics compatibility
A new technology allows scientists to map, in single cells, the DNA binding sites of transcription factors and other regulatory proteins that control gene activity, according to a study led by investigators at Weill Cornell ...
