Should JavaScript Add a New Syntax for Types?
An interesting tidbit from Mike Melanson's column, "This Week in Programming." "If a proposal unveiled this week gets its way, JavaScript developers will soon have something that many of them have long been asking for: a type system, of some sort a.....»»
Healing cells could be "tuned" in the test tube to target repair and regeneration work in the body
Engineering researchers at Monash University have found new evidence that special cells involved in tissue repair can be "tuned" to take on different types of repair and regeneration work in the body by modifying the physical environment in which the.....»»
How To Install A Bidet and Bidet Toilet Seat- Complete Guide
Bidets make for a convenient bathroom upgrade that prevents water wastage while reducing toiletry costs. Despite the variations in the installation processes between bidet types, bidets may not require professional help to be attached to a toil.....»»
Research gives new insights into the role food intake plays in fighting antimicrobial resistance
Cooking food thoroughly and avoiding some types of vegetables and salad during a course of antibiotic treatment could potentially reduce antibiotic resistance, by preventing bacteria carrying resistance genes getting into the gut, according to a new.....»»
New algorithm captures complex 3D light scattering information from live specimens
Researchers have developed a new algorithm for recovering the 3D refractive index distribution of biological samples that exhibit multiple types of light scattering. The algorithm helps optimize a new imaging approach called intensity diffraction tom.....»»
Scientists reveal how proteins drive growth of multiple cancer types
Scientists have completed a deep analysis of the proteins driving cancer across multiple tumor types, information that can't be assessed by genome sequencing alone. Understanding how proteins operate in cancer cells raises the prospect of new therapi.....»»
A "Jupiter" hotter than the sun
The search for exoplanets—planets that orbit stars located beyond the borders of our solar system—is a hot topic in astrophysics. Of the various types of exoplanets, one is hot in the literal sense: hot Jupiters, a class of exoplanets that are ph.....»»

A team of plant and molecular biologists from the University of Kelaniya and the University of Peradeniya, both in Sri Lanka, reports that many types of fungi that break down hardwood trees can also break down polyethylene, a common kind of plastic......»»
Cryptojacking soars as cyberattacks increase, diversify
Digital threat actors are adopting evolving tactical behaviors, opting for different types of malicious attacks compared to previous years, according to SonicWall. Overall intrusion attempts were up, led by the highest year on record for global crypt.....»»
Generation of a human haploid neural stem cell line for genome-wide genetic screening
Haploid embryonic stem cells (haESCs) have been established in many species. Differentiated haploid cell line types in mammals are lacking due to spontaneous diploidization during differentiation that compromises lineage-specific screens......»»
Mapping mass shootings in the United States
The United States has more than 10 times the number of mass shooting incidents than other developed countries, yet little research has shown the distribution and types of shootings, geographically......»»
Scientists derive new reaction rate for rapid proton capture process
Type I X-ray bursts are the most frequent types of thermonuclear stellar explosions in the galaxy. As the key nucleosynthesis process in X-ray bursts, the rapid proton capture process (rp-process) is always the important scientific frontier in nuclea.....»»
Sony releases a new challenger to Nintendos Adaptive Controller
