A team of geologists affiliated with several institutions in France, working with a pair of colleagues from Albania, has measured the largest natural flow of hydrogen ever in an Albanian chromium mine. In their study, reported in the journal Science,.....»»
Scientists uncover a new model for the effects of radiation in water systems
What happens when radiation hits water? This is a question that has an impact every time you get an X-ray at the doctor's office, given you are mostly made of water. A team of theoretical physicists at DESY has worked on data taken by colleagues from.....»»

What makes ransomware victims less likely to pay up?
There’s a good reason why ransomware gangs started exfiltrating victims’ data instead of just encrypting it: those organizations pay more. University of Twente researcher Tom Meurs and his colleagues wanted to know which factors influence.....»»

As our colleagues over at 9to5Google have been covering all week, the first Pixel 9 and Pixel 9 Pro renders have emerged. Looking at these images from an Apple user’s perspective, the resemblance to the iPhone is hard to ignore … with the excepti.....»»
Open-source camera and software system captures animal-view videos with more than 90% accuracy
A new camera system allows ecologists and filmmakers to produce videos that accurately replicate the colors that different animals see in natural settings, Vera Vasas at the University of Sussex, UK, and colleagues from the Hanley Color Lab at George.....»»
When conditions cool down, a bacterial prey species becomes the predator
In a new study, two species of bacteria grown in a lab reversed their predator-prey relationship after one species was grown at a lower temperature. Marie Vasse of MIVEGEC, France, and colleagues have published these findings in PLOS Biology......»»
Repeated sexual failures cause social stress in fruit flies
Repeated failures to reproduce make fruit flies stressed and frustrated, which in turn makes them less resilient to other types of stress, Julia Ryvkin at Bar-Ilan University and colleagues report in PLOS Genetics......»»
Predicting others" preference-based choices is cross-cultural and uniquely human, suggests study
Children across cultures can anticipate other individuals' choices based on their preferences, according to a study published in PLOS ONE by Juliane Kaminski at the University of Portsmouth and colleagues. However, non-human great apes appear to lack.....»»
