"Fingerprinting" minerals to better understand how they are affected by meteorite collisions
When a space rock survives the turbulent passage through Earth's atmosphere and strikes the surface, it generates shockwaves that can compress and transform minerals in the planet's crust. Since these changes depend on the pressure produced upon impa.....»»

Intel is offering extended warranties for crashing 13th- and 14th-gen desktop CPUs
Intel's microcode fix won't help CPUs that are already damaged. Enlarge / Even mainstream CPUs like the Core i5-13400 could theoretically be affected by Intel's crashing issues. (credit: Andrew Cunningham) Intel will be.....»»
Big sharks equal big impact, but there"s a big problem: Those most affected by fishing are most needed for ocean health
Shark conservation must go beyond simply protecting shark populations—it must prioritize protecting the ecological roles of sharks, according to new research published in Science......»»
Investigation into the regime between the nano- and microscale could pave the way for nanoscale technologies
In electronic technologies, key material properties change in response to stimuli like voltage or current. Scientists aim to understand these changes in terms of the material's structure at the nanoscale (a few atoms) and microscale (the thickness of.....»»

Find My available in every country except Korea; government blames Apple
A petition has highlighted a puzzling fact: Find My is available in every country in the world except Korea, and nobody seems to understand why. While many had assumed this to be a restriction imposed by the South Korean government, officials say.....»»
New methods predict tipping points for alpine permafrost loss
If the bedrock in the Alps no longer remains permanently frozen, rockfalls may occur more frequently. By measuring electrical resistivity in the ground, researchers can now better understand why this happens......»»
Scientists convert bacteria into efficient cellulose producers
Bacteria produce materials that are of interest to humans, such as cellulose, silk and minerals. The advantage of producing bacteria in this way is that it is sustainable, takes place at room temperature and in water. A disadvantage is that the proce.....»»
Tesla analyst nearly crashes while using ‘Full Self-Driving’
Elon Musk said that investors won’t understand the company unless they’re using the driver-assistance system marketed as Full Self-Driving, so analyst William Stein took this as his cue to test-drive one and narrowly avoided a crash. .....»»
New research offers insight on modeling belief dynamics
Researchers who study belief dynamics often use analogies to understand and model the complex cognitive–social systems that underlie why we believe the things we do and how those beliefs can change over time. Ideas can be transmitted like a virus,.....»»
Researchers decipher new molecular mechanisms related to biological tissue regeneration
A new study published in The EMBO Journal opens new perspectives to better understand how the molecular mechanisms involved in regenerative medicine work......»»
Beyond casualties: The enduring trauma of bereavement after armed conflicts
Each year, hundreds of thousands of people are affected by armed conflict, both directly, through loss of life, or indirectly, through the loss of family members. Researchers from the MPIDR, CED and the University of Washington studied the extent and.....»»

Invasive, blood-sucking fish "may hold the key to understanding where we came from," say biologists
One of just two vertebrates without a jaw, sea lampreys that are wreaking havoc in Midwestern fisheries are simultaneously helping scientists understand the origins of two important stem cells that drove the evolution of vertebrates......»»
Galaxy clusters could be used as dark matter colliders to understand nature of invisible particles, say scientists
What is dark matter? Even for astrophysicists, it's a question that remains unanswered. These invisible particles make up most of the matter in the universe and about a quarter of the universe as a whole. They are thought to be the cosmic glue that b.....»»
High-energy collision study reveals new insights into quark-gluon plasma
In high-energy physics, researchers have unveiled how high-energy partons lose energy in nucleus-nucleus collisions, an essential process in studying quark-gluon plasma (QGP). This finding could enhance our knowledge of the early universe moments aft.....»»
Opening a window on environmental phenomena with new imaging technology
Data collected by satellites, drones, radars and microscopes provide a goldmine of information to better understand our environment. And when these data are coupled with artificial intelligence (AI), they can unlock the secrets of phenomena taking pl.....»»
Scientists say sun"s influence penetrates into deep Earth
For years, scientists believed that changes in the Earth's interior, such as volcanic eruptions and tectonic plate collisions, primarily affected the surface environment. Events such as the mass extinction around 66 million years ago and the transiti.....»»
