Climate change not to blame for deadly Chile Fires: researchers
Neither human-induced climate change nor the El Nino weather phenomenon were determining factors in the devastating forest fires that killed more than 130 people in Chile this month, according to the results of an international study revealed Thursda.....»»
Cybersecurity fears drive a return to on-premise infrastructure from cloud computing
42% of organizations surveyed in the US are considering or already have moved at least half of their cloud-based workloads back to on-premises infrastructures, a phenomenon known as cloud repatriation, according to Citrix. The survey showed that 94%.....»»
"Dune: Part Two" review: Denis Villeneuve"s sci-fi masterpiece soars, then screams to a halt
"Dune: Part Two," starring Timothée Chalamet and Zendaya, goes even bigger than "Dune" and hits epic, if imperfect, highs. Review. Few things make me happier than Dune becoming an inescapable pop cultural phenomenon. Here is a story of psyched.....»»
Why do we need leap years? Astrophysicists explain this month"s extra date
This year is a leap year. Many people will know this means that February gets an extra day—a total of 29, as opposed to 28—but often do not know why. Space experts Dr. Minjae Kim and Dr. James McCormac shed light on the phenomenon......»»
Future Apple Watch may have Digital Crown with touch and light sensors
Apple continues to work on maximizing the benefits and capabilities of the Apple Watch's Digital Crown, with research surfacing regarding how the physical rotation could be supplemented or replaced by sensors that detect light or touch.Future Digital.....»»
Zombie deer disease is spreading and scientists are concerned that it could jump to humans
In the tranquil expanses of North America's woodlands and grasslands, a silent but concerning phenomenon is unfolding: chronic wasting disease (CWD). The condition, often dubbed "zombie deer disease", is stealthily spreading among deer populations, s.....»»
Quantum dark states lead to an advantage in noise reduction
While atomic clocks are already the most precise timekeeping devices in the universe, physicists are working hard to improve their accuracy even further. One way is by leveraging spin-squeezed states in clock atoms......»»
This Knife Throwing Machine Guarantees A Bullseye
Knife throwing is both an art and a skill that’s difficult to master. It takes both hand-eye coordination and just the right spin to embed the knife into a target, and the longer the distance, the more power and spin are needed. While movies m.....»»
Scientists study the behaviors of chiral skyrmions in chiral flower-like obstacles
In nature, the collective motion of some birds and fish, such as flocks of starlings and shoals of sardines, respectively, can generate impressive dynamic phenomena. Their study constitutes active matter science, which has been a topic of great inter.....»»
Vision Pro stunts and celebrity videos help Apple avoid the glassholes phenomenon – analyst
There’s been no shortage of Vision Pro stunts since the device was launched, like fake traffic stops. Celebrities have also been having fun with the facial spatial computer, including T-Pain, Diplo, and Casey Neistat. But while this may all seem.....»»
Raspberry Pi Bitlocker hack is a new spin on a years-old, well-documented exploit
Exploit works on PCs with discrete TPM chips, which are rarer in modern systems. Enlarge / A $10 Raspberry Pi Pico-based TPM sniffing tool, designed to grab the Bitlocker disk encryption keys from some models of Lenovo laptop. (.....»»
Using isotopic measurements on stalagmites to investigate "climate hiccups"
Climate changes usually happen over long periods of time, but during the last glacial period, extreme fluctuations in temperature occurred within just a few years. Researchers at the University of Basel have now been able to prove the phenomenon also.....»»
How semiconductor defects could boost quantum technology
In diamonds (and other semiconducting materials), defects are a quantum sensor's best friend. That's because defects, essentially a jostled arrangement of atoms, sometimes contain electrons with an angular momentum, or spin, that can store and proces.....»»
El Niño is starting to lose strength after fueling a hot, stormy year. An atmospheric scientist explains what"s ahead
Wild weather has been roiling North America for the past few months, thanks in part to a strong El Niño that sent temperatures surging in 2023. The climate phenomenon fed atmospheric rivers drenching the West Coast and contributed to summer's extrem.....»»
Evidence that atomically thin hafnium telluride is an excitonic insulator
The condensation of excitons with non-zero momentum can give rise to so-called charge density waves (CDW). This phenomenon can prompt the transition of materials into a fascinating new quantum phase, known as an excitonic insulator......»»
Surprise physics in insulating material offer path for faster tech
Researchers led by Cornell have discovered an unusual phenomenon in a metal-insulating material, providing valuable insights for the design of materials with new properties by way of faster switching between states of matter......»»
About a third of employees have faced bullying at work—here"s how to recognize and deal with it
The phenomenon of bullying, harassment and sexual abuse in workplaces throughout North America is widespread and harmful to both individuals and organizations. In fact, bullying at work affects up to 30% of workers over time......»»
Neural network assisted high-spatial-resolution polarimetry with non-interleaved chiral metasurfaces
