A pro-Russian hacker collective has launched more than 1,500 DDoS attacks since 2022, paying volunteers in cryptocurrency while treating each outage as a stage for undermining public trust in NATO (North Atlantic Treaty Organization) governments.
Correcting a single accounting error in how regulators value fuel savings could turn the federal rollback of vehicle pollution rules from a $790 billion win into a net loss, ten economists argue in a new Science paper.
A South Korean team’s system called SweepLED sweeps LED light across a room and reads how the reflections bend, catching camera lenses that ordinary detectors mistake for glass, chrome or a shiny doorknob roughly nineteen times out of twenty.
By systematically disabling nearly 12,000 genes across 33.4 million primary human T cells, researchers revealed how genetic networks drastically alter their behavior between resting and activated immune states.
Thermal-shock quenching shatters a ceramic into disordered atomic clusters that move oxygen ions almost 18,000 times faster than a standard oxide, and a trace amount blended into an electrode tripled power output while reversing wear over time.
Lawrence Livermore simulations show fusion capsules absorbing radiation asymmetry without losing yield, until a sharp threshold flips a working implosion into a failed one, shaping how future fusion power plants might be tuned.
A new mathematical model strips out a constraint long assumed essential to slime mold inspired computing, letting a simulated optimization machine scale from about 30 cities to 180 while finding solutions with far fewer computational steps.
Handheld spy-detectors barely beat searching by eye in a University College London (UCL) trial, missing most hidden cameras and trackers unless the app could name and locate the device, not just sense it.
Doctors have long relied on an invasive marrow-sampling procedure to check whether a childhood cancer called rhabdomyosarcoma has advanced. A large international study finds a whole-body imaging scan already in use catches it just as reliably, except in one circumstance.
X(2370)’s strongest new clue is an absence: the particle vanishes when researchers isolate a decay route that a pseudoscalar flavor-singlet state should suppress.
A raft of native reeds anchored across an Australian wastewater lagoon began slashing greenhouse gases within months, well before it managed to strip out any extra nutrients from the water.
An old shelved compound called TOFA made obese mice burn about 18% more energy and shed fat while keeping muscle, working the opposite lever to Ozempic. It has never been tested in humans.
