The magnetic secret inside steel finally explained

Researchers at the Department of Materials Science and Engineering at The Grainger College of Engineering have identified the first physical mechanism explaining how magnetic fields slow the movement of carbon atoms through iron. Published in Physical Review Letters, the work sheds new light on how carbon affects the internal grain…

++ Tajani convoca l’ambasciatore israeliano ++ – Notizie – Ansa.it

Il ministro degli Esteri Antonio Tajani – rende noto la Farnesina – ha chiesto di convocare l’ambasciatore di Israele in Italia per chiedere chiarimenti e confermare la dura protesta sull’episodio che ha visto coinvolti due carabinieri in servizio presso il Consolato generale d’Italia a Gerusalemme. I due militari sono stati…

A hidden genetic war is unfolding inside your DNA

In Lewis Carroll’s “Through the Looking-Glass,” Alice runs endlessly alongside the Red Queen but never moves ahead. “It takes all the running you can do to keep in the same place,” the Queen explains. That idea has long been used to describe evolutionary standoffs between species, such as hosts and…

A strange in-between state of matter is finally observed

When ice turns into water, the change happens almost instantly. As soon as the temperature reaches the melting point, the rigid structure of ice collapses into liquid water. This rapid switch from solid to liquid is typical for familiar three-dimensional materials. Extremely thin materials behave very differently. Instead of melting…

The early universe supercharged black hole growth

One of astronomy’s longest standing puzzles has been understanding how black holes grew so large in such a short span of cosmic time. Scientists have long known that supermassive black holes existed surprisingly early in the universe, but how they reached those enormous sizes remained unclear. Now, researchers at Ireland’s…

Distant entangled atoms acting as one sensor deliver stunning precision

Researchers at the University of Basel and the Laboratoire Kastler Brossel have shown that quantum entanglement can be used to measure several physical quantities at the same time with greater accuracy than traditional methods allow. Entanglement is often described as one of the most mysterious effects in quantum physics. When…

Your fireplace may be doing more harm than you think

Adding a log to a glowing fireplace on a cold winter night often feels comforting and harmless. However, new research from Northwestern University shows that burning wood inside homes plays a much larger role in winter air pollution across the United States than many people realize. The study found that…

A lost disease emerges from 5,500-year-old human remains

Scientists have successfully reconstructed the genome of Treponema pallidum from human remains that are about 5,500 years old, discovered in the Sabana de Bogotá region of Colombia. This bacterium is responsible for several serious infectious diseases today, including syphilis. The findings, published in the journal Science, significantly expand what researchers…

Scientists just cracked the hidden rules of cancer evolution

Scientists have created a new way to predict how cancer cells evolve as they gain or lose entire chromosomes. These large chromosome changes can quickly reshape tumors, helping them grow, adapt to stress, and resist treatment. A new tool called ALFA-K reveals which chromosome changes help cancer cells thrive and…

Allerta dall’Anm: ‘Sulla sicurezza informatica chiarire il ruolo della Presidenza del Consiglio’ – Notizie – Ansa.it

“L’inchiesta di Report sulla sicurezza informatica dei sistemi utilizzati da tutti i magistrati italiani porta pesanti interrogativi e desta grave preoccupazione. Emergono profili di criticità rilevanti rispetto alla sicurezza e alla riservatezza, rimasti finora senza alcuna significativa spiegazione”. Così la Giunta esecutiva centrale dell’Associazione nazionale magistrati in una nota. “Chiediamo…

Alzheimer’s may trick the brain into erasing its own memories

Alzheimer’s disease is known for one devastating effect above all others. It steadily destroys brain cells and the connections between them, breaking down the neural networks that allow us to store and recall memories. What remains far less certain is how this destruction begins. One leading explanation focuses on amyloid…
