AI-generated images and videos pose a threat to democratic processes and undermine trust within society. Researchers at ETH Zurich have now developed chip technology that enables verification of the authenticity of sensor data including images […]
Every second, scientific experiments produce a flood of data—so much that transmitting and analyzing it can slow down even the most advanced research. To help scientists better manage this data deluge, researchers at the U.S. […]
In the high-stakes world of product innovation, companies often face a paradox: adopting cutting-edge technology—such as biosensors that monitor heart rate and stress or energy-efficient chips that enable continuous health tracking in wearable devices—can make […]
The US Federal Communications Commission on Monday banned authorizations for all new consumer routers produced in foreign countries, citing “national security” reasons.This post was originally published on this site.
Each year, antimicrobial resistance (AMR) is responsible for an estimated 1.1 to 1.4 million deaths worldwide. Now, scientists have found evidence that the spread of AMR isn’t always driven by bacteria evolving to resist the […]
A new biosensor developed at the Department of Energy’s Oak Ridge National Laboratory detects the emerging presence of fungus on plants at the molecular level, paving the way for next-generation crop protection and the development […]
Plants need water, light, and air to thrive. But when they transport water from the soil up to their leaves, they defy gravity. Scientists describe this astonishing phenomenon as “negative water potential,” a form of […]
During the First World War, the British government was looking for ways to help people stretch their limited food supplies. It found pamphlets from a noted 19th-century herbalist who said rhubarb leaves could be used […]
Rice is a vital crop that feeds more than half of the world’s population. In the wild, many rice species are perennials that live for several years, but the varieties we eat today are typically […]
When a nuclear plant reaches the end of its life or is damaged, it must be decommissioned. This process can take more than 20 years and includes decontamination, dismantling, and handling radioactive materials so the […]
