Traveling with friends helps even mixed-up migrators find their way
Some of us live and die by our phone's GPS. But if we can't get a signal or lose battery power, we get lost on our way to the grocery store......»»
Maybe we don"t see aliens because they"re waiting to hear a signal from us first
We've had a long-running series here at UT on potential solutions Fermi paradox—why aren't we able to detect any alien life out there in the Universe? But more possible solutions are being developed all the time. Now, another paper adds some additi.....»»
Study finds well-known enzyme also performs quality control of membrane proteins
An interdisciplinary team of scientists from Cologne, Heidelberg and Munich have discovered a new function of a well-known enzyme. The signal peptidase complex in the endoplasmic reticulum cleaves faulty membrane proteins to initiate their degradatio.....»»
Broadband low-loss all-optical phase modulator using gas-filled hollow-core fiber
Optical phase modulators are key components in optical communication, sensing, and signal processing systems. All-optical modulators, which modulate the phase or intensity of a light signal by a control light beam, have attracted much research intere.....»»
The WOW! Signal Is Just As Mysterious As It Was In 1977
Over 40 years ago, scientists discovered a radio anomaly known as "the WOW! signal" — and despite continuous research, its origin continues to remain unknown. Over.....»»
Twitter encrypted DMs will adopt open-source Signal protocol, suggests iOS code
Elon Musk recently hinted that Twitter encrypted DMs were on the way, using full end-to-end encryption – and code spotted in the iOS app suggests that it will use the same E2E encryption standard as Signal. Plans for E2E encryption of Twitter dire.....»»
Non-detection of key signal allows astronomers to determine what the first galaxies were, and weren"t, like
Researchers have been able to make some key determinations about the first galaxies to exist, in one of the first astrophysical studies of the period in the early universe when the first stars and galaxies formed, known as the cosmic dawn......»»
Double telescope study of zone where Wow! signal originated comes up empty
An international team of astronomers has conducted a double-telescopic study of the zone where the Wow! signal originated and failed to detect any signal. In their paper published in Research Notes of the American Astronomical Society, the group desc.....»»
