Spatiotemporal light pulses could secure optical communication by masking data
Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have developed a new approach to secure optical communication that hides information in the physical structure...
Burning plus tree retention boosts natural forest regrowth in Finland after 11 years
Prescribed burning, when combined with tree retention, can effectively support natural regeneration in managed boreal forests, new research shows. The study dem...
Economic hardship tied to increased violence across California
Economic instability—including job loss, food insecurity, eviction and homelessness—is strongly associated with higher rates of violence among California adults...
Unlocking the value of biodiversity in the UK and Ireland
Sequencing the DNA of all complex life in the UK and Ireland could generate up to almost £3 billion for the economy across agriculture, conservation, and resear...
Quantum-inspired algorithm solves 268 million-site quasicrystal simulation in a heartbeat
Quantum technologies like quantum computers are built from quantum materials. These types of materials exhibit quantum properties when exposed to the right cond...
Gravity follows Newton and Einstein's rules, even at cosmic scales
Gravity, as most people understand it, is the familiar force that pulls a falling apple toward Earth. But for astronomers and theoretical physicists, it is also...
Crowd flow measurements reveal hidden slowdowns and standstills in dense public spaces
How can public spaces remain safe when large crowds move through them? Engineers and researchers who study these environments often rely on physical models borr...
Next-generation CT scanner reveal new details inside 2,300-year-old Egyptian mummy remains
Egyptian mummy remains were examined at Semmelweis University's Medical Imaging Center (OKK). The archaeological finds arriving from the Semmelweis Museum of Me...
'Interstellar glaciers': NASA's SPHEREx maps vast galactic ice regions
NASA's SPHEREx (Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization, and Ices Explorer) mission has mapped interstellar ice at an unpreced...
The giants of the reef: New citizen science project races to document centennial corals
Coral reefs hide "scientific treasures" that have survived for centuries, yet many of these giant, ancient organisms remain largely unknown to science. A new st...
Shakespeare's 'missing' London house mapped with new discovery
The exact location of William Shakespeare's only London property can now be pinpointed to a quiet Blackfriars street, thanks to the discovery of a previously un...
Marine sponge bacterium enzyme reveals a two-part route to make terpenoids
The molecular structure of an enzyme from a marine bacterium with potential industrial uses has been determined by RIKEN researchers. The insights they have gai...
