Collaborate Disseminate
A six-month investigation by CybelAngel discovered unsecured sensitive patient data available for third parties to access for blackmail, fraud or other nefarious purposes. Continue reading 45 Million Medical Images Left Exposed Online
Engineers at Brookhaven National Laboratory have designed a strange new X-ray microscope that takes advantage of the spooky world of quantum physics to “ghost image” biomolecules in high resolution but at a lower radiation dose.Continue ReadingCategory… Continue reading Quantum X-ray microscope “ghost images” molecules using entanglement
As useful as X-rays are for imaging bones, there’s only so much we can see in a flat greyscale image. But this new scanner adds color and a third dimension, creating high resolution, cutaway 3D models that can diagnose bone fractures and monitor healin… Continue reading 3D color X-ray machine heads for trials
One of the ways physicians can gain some forewarning of impending heart failure is through the detection of excess fluid in the lungs, and MIT researchers have developed a new machine learning tool that could offer them a helping hand. The algorithm is… Continue reading Machine learning tool scans lung X-rays to predict heart failure
We’re used to seeing the output of telescopes as images, but what if we could translate that data into sound? A new “Sonification” project from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Center has done just that, letting us hear the center of the Milky Way, the supernova r… Continue reading NASA “Sonification” project lets us hear the cosmos
When you buy a chip, how can you be sure you’re getting what you paid for? After all, it’s just a black fleck of plastic with some leads sticking out of it, and a few laser-etched markings on it that attest to what lies within. All of that’s straightforward to …read more

We may be a step closer to understanding the mystery of fast radio bursts (FRBs), as astronomers have now detected the first such signal from within our own galaxy. The radio burst in this case was traced to a highly magnetic dead star called a magneta… Continue reading Fast-radio-burst-like signal traced to dead star in our galaxy
Scientists have achieved first light with an upgrade to one of the most powerful X-ray lasers the world has ever seen. The Linac Coherent Light Source (LCLS) images individual atoms and molecules by blasting them with intense X-ray bursts, and now its … Continue reading Second-generation of powerful X-ray laser fires for the first time
A newly released map shows our home galaxy in a new light. The eROSITA telescope has scanned the entire sky in X-rays, painting a colorful portrait that reveals large-scale structures and hundreds of thousands of previously unknown X-ray sources.Contin… Continue reading Stunning X-ray image delivers a deep dive into the Milky Way
Usually, a brush with a black hole marks the end of an object’s journey – after all, even light itself can’t escape the intense gravity. But in the galaxy GSN 069, a star has managed to survive a close encounter with a black hole, ending up in orbit ar… Continue reading Brush with black hole may turn star into planet in a trillion years
