Review covers optical aspects of quantitative photoacoustic tomography
Quantitative photoacoustic tomography (QPAT) is a medical imaging technique that combines laser-induced photoacoustic signals and ultrasound detection to create detailed three-dimensional images of biological tissues. The process involves irradiating.....»»
Mating anchovies stir up the sea as much as a major storm—and it"s good for the environment, too
Why would oceanographers ever care about anchovies having sex? We do because these small fish can help mix different layers of the ocean when they mate. This circulates nutrients, oxygen, and greenhouse gases around different layers of the ocean, the.....»»
Church without God: How secular congregations fill a need for some nonreligious Americans
Shared testimonies, collective singing, silent meditation and baptism rituals—these are all activities you might find at a Christian church service on a Sunday morning in the United States. But what would it look like if atheists were gathering to.....»»
Fly Catcher: Detect aircraft spoofing by monitoring for malicious signals
Fly Catcher is an open-source device that can detect aircraft spoofing by monitoring for malicious ADS-B signals in the 1090MHz frequency. Angelina Tsuboi, the developer of Fly Catcher, is an enthusiastic pilot, cybersecurity researcher, and tinkerer.....»»

Researchers demonstrate that quantum entanglement and topology are inextricably linked
For the first time, researchers have demonstrated the remarkable ability to perturb pairs of spatially separated yet interconnected quantum entangled particles without altering their shared properties......»»
Protein structures signal fresh targets for anticancer drugs
Cell replication in our bodies is triggered by a cascade of molecular signals transmitted between proteins. Compounds that block these signals when they run amok show potential as cancer drugs......»»
Rocket Report: SpaceX’s record year; Firefly’s Alpha rocket falls short
Living downrange from one of China's launch sites sure doesn't seem safe. Enlarge / Firefly Aerospace's fourth Alpha rocket lifted off December 22 from Vandenberg Space Force Base, California. (credit: Firefly Aerospace/Trevor Ma.....»»
Study uncovers the synchrony connecting kelp forests to the beach
The Santa Barbara Channel's kelp forests and its sandy beaches are intimately connected. Giant kelp, the foundation species of rocky reefs, serves as a major part of the beach food web as fronds of the giant seaweed break away from the forest and are.....»»
Diversity of bioluminescent beetles in Brazilian savanna has declined sharply in 30 years, finds study
At night in the Cerrado, Brazil's savanna and second-largest biome, larvae of the click beetle Pyrearinus termitilluminans, which live in termite mounds, display green lanterns to capture prey attracted by the bright light......»»
Researchers reveal anthropogenically-induced atmospheric lead cycle in low-latitude Asia
In recent decades, environmental lead (Pb) pollution has posed a significant threat to public health and ecological systems due to its harmful and irreversible effects. It has also been proposed that the distinct Pb pollution signals in geological ar.....»»
Watch sand defy gravity and flow uphill thanks to “negative friction”
Applying magnetic forces to single iron oxide-coated particles spurs strange collective motion. There's rarely time to write about every cool science-y story that comes our way. So this year, we're once again running a special Twe.....»»
COP28 assessment: Impact will depend on actual implementation
About a day later than planned, the 28th Conference of the Parties (COP28) to the United Nations Framework on Climate Change (UNFCCC) closed on 13 December 2023. After much contestation, the conference adopted a decision that effectively signals the.....»»
History and contents of the universe can be determined using radio telescopes on the moon, researchers say
A study from Tel Aviv University has predicted for the first time the groundbreaking results that can be obtained from a lunar-based detection of radio waves. The study's findings show that the measured radio signals can be used for a novel test of t.....»»
Electronic pathways may enhance collective atomic vibrations" magnetism
Materials with enhanced thermal conductivity are critical for the development of advanced devices to support applications in communications, clean energy and aerospace. But in order to engineer materials with this property, scientists need to underst.....»»
Breakthrough Listen scans entire galaxies for signals from extremely advanced civilizations
In 1960, Dr. Frank Drake led the first Search for Extraterrestrial Intelligence (SETI) experiment at the National Radio Astronomy Observatory in Green Bank, West Virginia. In the more than sixty years that have since passed, astronomers have conducte.....»»
Unlocking the secrets of fast radio bursts: More pieces to the puzzle of mysterious space signals
