Generative AI systems need to be fed huge amounts of data, with copyrighted materials often on the menu. Musicians may now have a way to fight back with HarmonyCloak, a system that embeds data into songs that can’t be picked up by human ears but will s… Continue reading HarmonyCloak slips silent poison into music to corrupt AI copies
If aliens are watching Earth, they might be able to detect us from the radio signals we beam to Mars to control our rovers there. Astronomers have now listened in on the nearby TRAPPIST-1 system to check whether aliens are chattering between their own … Continue reading TRAPPIST planets bugged to listen in on alien radio comms
Nobody enjoys giving blood samples, but it’s a necessary part of many hospital stays and doctor visits. Soon we might not have to, thanks to a new device that can isolate biomarkers for different diseases using sound waves, from a single drop of blood,… Continue reading Handheld diagnostic performs 1-hour blood tests from a finger prick
For 50 years now, camera company Nikon has been highlighting microscopic marvels with the annual Nikon Small World photomicrography competition. Headlining this year’s winners is a groundbreaking view of mouse brain tumor cells.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Up close: Nikon Small World celebrates 50 years of photomicrography
Microscopic battles rage around, on and in us at all times, and the microbial combatants use far more exciting weapons than we might realize. Scientists have now observed a bacterium that attacks like a pirate ship, ensnaring its prey with grappling ho… Continue reading Microscopic pirates attack with cellular cannons and grappling hooks
