A new study analyzing 20 years of data has found that our oceans have changed color, indicating a significant shift in marine ecosystems that is likely due to human-caused climate change.Continue ReadingCategory: Environment, ScienceTags: Ocean, Ecosys… Continue reading Climate change is changing the color of our oceans
CRISPR-Cas9 has been the household name of genetic engineering tools over the past decade, but there might be other, better ways. MIT scientists have now demonstrated an alternative called Fanzor, which is naturally found in animals so could be a bette… Continue reading Potential CRISPR alternative gene-editing tool occurs naturally in animals
The framework helps evaluate the effectiveness of obfuscation side-channel mitigation schemes against data leaks.

Researchers have created a superabsorbent hydrogel that can pull moisture from the air in greater quantities than previously reported materials, even in desert conditions. The new material opens the door to creating an effective, sustainable method of … Continue reading Salt-loaded hydrogel pulls water from the air, even in desert conditions
Whether it’s an impoverished nation, a battlefield or a disaster site, there are places where doctors have to perform surgery outside of a sterile operating room. That’s where the SurgiField system comes in, as it’s basically a miniature pop-up O.R.Con… Continue reading SurgiField system is a packable sterile mini operating room
Finally, a promising upgrade to the antique space radio systems that make orbital data transfer so ridiculously slow. Terran Orbit has set a new record for transmitting at high-speed from space to Earth as NASA’s Pathfinder Technology Demonstrator 3 (P… Continue reading High-speed orbital data link drags space communications out of the ’60s
Starting with fibers taken from pig tissue, researchers at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have developed dissolving sutures that can be loaded with molecular sensors or medication. The hope is that the new sutures could speed healing a… Continue reading Dissolving catgut stitches can monitor wounds and deliver drugs
It goes without saying that the cameras on self-driving cars can’t see around the corners of buildings. The ORCa computer vision system, however, could one day allow them to do so … with a little help from shiny objects that they can see.Continue Readi… Continue reading MIT’s ORCa tech uses reflections on glossy objects to see hidden views
Scientists are asking meteorite hunters to refrain from using magnets to test the authenticity of their finds because this can destroy the specimen’s magnetic memory, erasing valuable information about the nature of the solar system.Continue ReadingCat… Continue reading Scientists ask meteorite hunters to stop using magnets to test finds
Astronomers have witnessed an apocalypse from across the galaxy, as a planet crashed into its host star. It’s an event that’s long been assumed to happen in many star systems – including our own someday – but this is the first time it’s ever been seen … Continue reading Astronomers witness an apocalypse from across the galaxy
