New research sheds light on river dynamics and cutoff regimes
How are rivers characterized? Traditional methods rely on plant forms and sedimentological techniques, focusing on deposits. Riccardo Maitan, a Ph.D. candidate at the University of Padova, is developing a novel approach based on river hydrological be.....»»
Scientists add the human element to long-term flood predictions
To better predict long-term flooding risk, scientists at the Department of Energy's Oak Ridge National Laboratory developed a 3D modeling framework that captures the complex dynamics of water as it flows across the landscape. The framework seeks to p.....»»
New compact camera module for M5 MacBooks expected in 2025
Apple has reportedly commissioned one of its Vietnamese suppliers, Sunny Optical, to provide a new MacBook compact camera module (CCM) from next year. This is likely to be first used in an M5 MacBook Pro in late 2025. It’s a somewhat surprising.....»»
Scientists develop new AI method to create material "fingerprints"
Like people, materials evolve over time. They also behave differently when they are stressed and relaxed. Scientists looking to measure the dynamics of how materials change have developed a new technique that leverages X-ray photon correlation spectr.....»»
AT&T hack: Carrier paid ransom for data; delayed public disclosure at request of FBI
More details are coming to light about the AT&T hack, which saw the personal data of around 110M customers compromised – including records of who they called and texted. It’s reported that the carrier made a Bitcoin ransom payment in return fo.....»»
