Preserving nature"s genetic resources: Wild banana relatives of mainland Southeast Asia reveal hidden diversity
In a new study, researchers have uncovered a wealth of hidden diversity among wild banana species in mainland Southeast Asia. The discovery, which has been published in PLoS ONE, highlights the critical importance of conserving these genetic resource.....»»
Monkey fossils found in cave shed light on the animals" extinction centuries ago
By studying rare fossils of jaws and other skull parts of a long-extinct Caribbean monkey, a team of researchers that includes a Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine professor says it has uncovered new evidence documenting the anatomy and ecol.....»»
Researchers create orientation-independent magnetic field-sensing nanotube spin qubits
Purdue University researchers have developed patent-pending one-dimensional boron nitride nanotubes (BNNTs) containing spin qubits, or spin defects. The BNNTs are more sensitive in detecting off-axis magnetic fields at high resolution than traditiona.....»»
AirPods 4 teardown reveals minor changes, no improvements to repairability
Following AirPods Max updates. The teardowns reveal there are only a few internal changes for the AirPods 4, and a continued general lack of repairability across the board. more….....»»
Developing novel chiral capsule tools for advanced optical technologies
Chirality is an essential property in biology; the molecular building blocks of some of the most important biological structures, including DNA and proteins, are chiral. When a molecule is said to be chiral, it means that it is distinguishable from i.....»»
Researchers determine how a protein contributes to human immune defense against RNA viruses
An international research team led by Prof. Dr. Janosch Hennig from the University of Bayreuth has discovered how the TRIM25 protein contributes to defense against RNA viruses whose genetic material is contained as ribonucleic acid (RNA)......»»
Q&A: Researchers examine link between light pollution and interest in astronomy
Picture walking outside on a dark, cloudless evening. You look up to admire the stars—maybe even a planet, if you're lucky—and a sense of wonder washes over you. New research from the University of Washington shows this might be more than a memor.....»»
Influence of a black hole"s spin: First evidence of precession in ultraluminous accretion disks
Gas swirls around a black hole due to its intense gravity, forming an accretion disk. These accretion disks, being among the most efficient energy conversion mechanisms in the universe, emit light and plasma jets. When a black hole spins on its axis,.....»»
New method quantifies single-cell data"s risk of private information leakage
Access to publicly available human single-cell gene expression datasets, or scRNA-seq datasets, has significantly enhanced researchers' understanding of both complex biological systems and the etymology of various diseases. However, the increase in a.....»»
Surprising amount and variety of gamma radiation is produced in large tropical thunderstorms, observations reveal
In the 1990s, NASA satellites built to spot high-energy particles coming from supernovas and other celestial-sized objects discovered a surprise—high energy gamma radiation bursts coming from right here on Earth......»»
Nanopillars create tiny openings in the nucleus without damaging cells
Imagine trying to poke a hole in the yolk of a raw egg without breaking the egg white. It sounds impossible, but researchers at the University of California San Diego have developed a technology that performs a similarly delicate task in living cells.....»»
Ring Protect rebrands to Ring Home and adds 24/7 recording
Ring Protect is now Ring Home, and while its pricing structure is the same, it benefits from several cool new features -- including 24/7 recording......»»
Critical Zimbra RCE vulnerability under mass exploitation (CVE-2024-45519)
Attackers are actively exploiting CVE-2024-45519, a critical Zimbra vulnerability that allows them to execute arbitrary commands on vulnerable installations. Proofpoint’s threat researchers say that the attacks started on September 28 – s.....»»
Planning a drug"s route in the body with synthetic chemistry
Researchers at the RIKEN Cluster for Pioneering Research (CPR) have developed technology that can alter, within the body, the recognized identity of proteins......»»
Smoke from megafires puts orchard trees at risk: Effects last months, reducing nut yields
Long-term smoke exposure from massive wildfires lowers the energy reserves of orchard trees and can cut their nut production by half, researchers at the University of California, Davis, found. The smoke can affect trees for months after a megafire, d.....»»
4 new LockBit-related arrests, identities of suspected Evil Corp members, affiliates revealed
The third phase of Operation Cronos, which involved officers from the UK National Crime Agency (NCA), the FBI, Europol and other law enforcement agencies, has resulted in the arrest of four persons for allegedly participating in the LockBit ransomwar.....»»
