A 200-year-old light trick just transformed quantum encryption

As digital communication accelerates and cyber threats continue to rise, researchers are working to develop more secure ways to transmit information. One of the most promising approaches is quantum cryptography, which uses individual photons to generate encryption keys. A research team from the Faculty of Physics at the University of…

Millions start work too early. This drug helps them stay awake

Far more people work very early morning shifts than overnight schedules, yet many struggle with severe fatigue linked to shift work disorder. This condition can interfere with concentration, job performance, and safety. A new clinical trial led by researchers at Mass General Brigham found that the wake-promoting drug solriamfetol (Sunosi)…

Scientists discover hidden “winds” inside cells that could explain cancer spread

Researchers at Oregon Health & Science University have identified a previously unknown system inside cells that acts like internal “trade winds,” rapidly carrying important proteins to the front edge of the cell. This finding changes how scientists understand cell movement, cancer spread and wound healing. The study, published in Nature…

Gli Emirati pronti a scendere in campo per forzare Hormuz – Notizie – Ansa.it

IL PUNTO Sigonella off limit per gli F-15 statunitensi. Venerdì la Difesa ha negato l’atterraggio a un bombardiere Usa: appurato che non si trattava di mezzo non logistici è stato deciso lo stop. “Ho fatto solo rispettare gli accordi”, dice Crosetto. I rapporti con Washington sono “solidi”, assicura Palazzo Chigi.…

Scientists just found DNA “supergenes” that speed up evolution

Researchers have uncovered a powerful genetic mechanism that may help explain how some species evolve with surprising speed. Certain sections of DNA, known as “flipped” segments, appear to help fish rapidly adapt to new environments and even split into entirely new species. These genetic features act like evolutionary accelerators, preserving…

How squid survived Earth’s biggest extinction and took over the oceans

Squid and cuttlefish are among the ocean’s most fascinating animals, known for their color-changing skin and jet-like movement. For decades, scientists have tried to understand how these unusual creatures evolved. Progress has been slow because their fossil record is limited and their genomes are complex. Now, new research is finally…

NASA’s asteroid Bennu sample reveals a hidden chemical patchwork

A new study shows that, at an incredibly small scale, the building blocks inside the asteroid Bennu are not evenly mixed. Instead, organic material and minerals are grouped into three clearly different chemical regions. These findings help scientists understand how liquid water once changed the asteroid’s composition over time. Bennu…

Scientists turn MXene into tiny nanoscrolls that supercharge batteries and sensors

Nearly 15 years after discovering MXenes, a versatile class of two-dimensional conductive nanomaterials, researchers at Drexel University have now developed a way to create a one-dimensional version known as MXene nanoscrolls. These ultra-thin structures, about 100 times thinner than a human hair, are even more conductive than their flat counterparts…

Per la Bisteccheria spesi 40 mila euro, i Caroccia dai pm – Notizie – Ansa.it

Il costo dell’affitto che sfiora i duemila euro al mese e gli investimenti affrontati per l’allestimento del locale, circa 40 mila euro. Anche su queste voci di spesa i pm della Dda di Roma che indagano sulla società ‘Le 5 Forchette’, gestore del ristorante “Bisteccheria d’Italia”, avviano degli accertamenti. Un…
