Ariane 6 launches LIFI: Light-speed secure communications
Europe's newest rocket soon launches, taking with it many space missions each with a unique objective, destination and team at home, cheering them on. Whether launching new satellites to look back and study Earth, peer out to deep space or test impor.....»»
Tackling the dual threat: A global strategy for PM2.5 and O3 pollution
Air pollution is a severe risk to human health and the environment, particularly from fine particulate matter (PM2.5) and ozone (O3). Despite global efforts, many cities continue to face significant exposure risks from these pollutants......»»
Researchers achieve high quantum yield in photocatalytic water splitting
In photocatalytic water splitting, a photocatalyst, typically a semiconductor material, is used to absorb light energy and initiate the water splitting reaction. When light is absorbed by the photocatalyst, it creates electron-hole pairs. The excited.....»»
New method for generating monochromatic light in storage rings
When ultrafast electrons are deflected, they emit light—synchrotron radiation. This is used in so-called storage rings in which magnets force the particles onto a closed path. This light is longitudinally incoherent and consists of a broad spectrum.....»»
No evidence that England"s new "biodiversity boost" planning policy will help birds or butterflies
A new legal requirement for developers to demonstrate a biodiversity boost in planning applications could make a more meaningful impact on nature recovery if improvements are made to the way nature's value is calculated, say researchers at the Univer.....»»
Apple"s M3 MacBook Pro 14-inch with 16GB RAM drops to $1,599
The 14-inch MacBook Pro price cut knocks $200 off the current M3 model with a bump up to 16GB unified memory. But this special deal at B&H ends June 28.Apple Authorized Resellers B&H Photo and Adorama are both offering the $1,599 M3 MacBook Pro 14-in.....»»
Under pressure: How comb jellies have adapted to life at the bottom of the ocean
The bottom of the ocean is not hospitable. There is no light; the temperature is freezing cold; and the pressure of all the water above will literally crush you. The animals that live at this depth have developed biophysical adaptations that allow th.....»»
Clean Water Act leaves about 55% of water flowing out of rivers vulnerable to pollution, study suggests
The Supreme Court ruled in 2023 that rivers that only flow in response to weather events—called ephemeral streams—do not fall under the protection of the Clean Water Act. Research published in the journal Science, led by University of Massachuset.....»»
Gravitational wave researchers cast new light on Antikythera mechanism mystery
Techniques developed to analyze the ripples in spacetime detected by one of the 21st century's most sensitive pieces of scientific equipment have helped cast new light on the function of the oldest known analog computer......»»

Identity verification company AU10TIX – used by tech giants – left photo IDs exposed
If there’s one type of company you definitely don’t want to see left vulnerable to hackers it’s an identity verification service with access to photo ID documents like driver’s licenses – but that’s exactly what appears to have happened w.....»»
New mathematical model sheds light on the absence of breastfeeding in male mammals
Being nursed by a single parent could be an evolutionary strategy to curb the spread of harmful microbes in mammals, according to a novel theory developed by mathematicians......»»
Evidence of Apple’s Private Cloud Compute for AI first surfaced in iOS 16.4
9to5Mac last year found evidence of a new “ComputeModule” device class hidden in the iOS 16.4 beta SDK. At the time, we speculated that it could be either a Raspberry Pi type device. It turns out that Apple’s recently announced Private Cloud Co.....»»
Researchers just solved AI’s biggest conundrum
That's roughly the draw of a 100W light bulb, and a 50x improvement over the 700W that an NVIDIA H100 GPU consumes......»»
