Design flaws create security vulnerabilities for ‘smart home’ internet-of-things devices
Researchers at North Carolina State University have identified design flaws in "smart home" Internet-of-Things (IoT) devices that allow third parties to prevent devices from...
Pinpointing Gaia to Map the Milky Way
Gaia, operated by the European Space Agency (ESA), surveys the sky from orbit to create the largest, most precise, three-dimensional map of our Galaxy....
Standard fiber bundles offer route to 3D optical biopsies
The optical fiber bundles employed in microendoscopy are normally limited to 2D imaging, primarily because size constraints make the use of tunable focusing optics...
Pesticide exposure causes bumblebee flight to fall short
Flight behavior is crucial for determining how bees forage, so reduced flight performance from pesticide exposure could lead to colonies going hungry and pollination...
Researchers obtain first ever underwater ultrasound scans of wild reef manta rays
The research project is taking place in the Republic of Maldives, in South Asia, which has the largest population of reef manta rays in...
New research to explore peer-to-peer ‘free trade’ in excess energy
The UK has seen an increase in the uptake of micro-generation, in which individuals or organizations install their own small scale, renewables-based energy generators...
Gravitational waves hint at detection of black hole eating star
Gravitational waves may have just delivered the first sighting of a black hole devouring a neutron star. If confirmed, it would be the first...
A bright glow from empty space
Particles traveling through empty space can emit bright flashes of gamma rays by interacting with the quantum vacuum, according to a new study by...
Simulating sounds of stars to reveal their secrets
The sound may not be able to travel through the vacuum of space.
But that doesn’t stop stars from unleashing a symphony of subsonic notes...
Deep-ocean creatures living a ‘feast-or-famine’ existence because of energy fluxes
The major biogeochemical cycles of marine ecosystems are driven by solar energy. The energy that is initially captured through photosynthesis is transformed and transported...
Diamonds reveal how continents are stabilized, key to Earth’s habitability
The longevity of Earth’s continents in the face of destructive tectonic activity is an essential geologic backdrop for the emergence of life on our...
Sound of the sea solves decades-old supervolcano mystery
Using an innovative technique that uses the ‘hum’ - or seismic noise - of waves crashing at the coastline of Campi Flegrei, scientists have...
