Published Scientific advance leads to a new tool in the fight against hackers
(via sciencedaily.com) A new form of security identification could soon see the light of day and help us protect our data from hackers and cybercriminals. Quantum mathematicians have solved a mathematical riddle that allows for a person's geographical location to be used as a personal ID that is secure against even the most advanced cyber attacks.
Published Hubble sheds light on origins of supermassive black holes
(via sciencedaily.com) Astronomers have identified a rapidly growing black hole in the early universe that is considered a crucial 'missing link' between young star-forming galaxies and the first supermassive black holes. They used data from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope to make this discovery.
Published Study explores effects of extended spaceflight on brain
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists from the U.S., Europe and Russia are part of a team releasing the results of a large collaborative study involving the effects of long duration spaceflight on the brain.
Published Hubble probes extreme weather on ultra-hot Jupiters
(via sciencedaily.com) Astronomers have discovered bloated Jupiter-sized worlds that are so precariously close to their parent star they are being roasted at seething temperatures above 3,000 degrees Fahrenheit. That's hot enough to vaporize most metals, including titanium. They have the hottest planetary atmospheres ever seen. Hubble astronomers are reporting on bizarre weather conditions on these sizzling worlds. It's raining vaporized rock on one planet, and another one has its upper atmosphere getting hotter rather than cooler because it is being 'sunburned' by intense ultraviolet (UV) radiation from its star.
Published Arctic simulation of Moon-like habitat shows wellbeing sessions can improve mental health in extreme isolation
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers are investigating the psychological impact of social isolation in harsh environments, such as on the Moon.
Published Record broken: Hubble spots farthest star ever seen
(via sciencedaily.com) NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has established an extraordinary new benchmark: detecting the light of a star that existed within the first billion years after the universe's birth in the big bang -- the farthest individual star ever seen to date.
Published Researchers discover source of super-fast electron 'rain'
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists have discovered a new source of super-fast, energetic electrons raining down on Earth's atmosphere, a phenomenon that contributes to the colorful aurora borealis and poses hazards to satellites, spacecraft and astronauts.
Published Single-photon source paves the way for practical quantum encryption
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers describe new high-purity single-photon source that can operate at room temperature. The source is an important step toward practical applications of quantum technology, such as highly secure communication based on quantum key distribution (QKD).
Published Active video games provide alternative workout
(via sciencedaily.com) Working out isn't known for being fun. But new active video and virtual reality games may help change that. Exergaming, or active video gaming, may be the perfect introduction to helping people be more active, according to new research.
Published Magnetic reconnection breakthrough may help predict space weather
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have recently discovered a breakthrough in magnetic reconnection that could ultimately help predict space weather.
Published Computer games in the classroom: Educational success depends on the teacher
(via sciencedaily.com) Future teachers see educational potential in computer games, study shows. Teacher training should therefore address their potential in the classroom.
Published California's push for computer science education examined
(via sciencedaily.com) Despite California's computer science education policies, gender, racial and ethnic disparities persist among the high schools that offer these courses, the students enrolled in them and the faculty who teach them.
Published Galaxy collision creates 'space triangle' in new Hubble image
(via sciencedaily.com) A spectacular head-on collision between two galaxies fueled the unusual triangular-shaped star-birthing frenzy, as captured in a new image from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope.
Published Future gravitational wave detector in space could uncover secrets of the Universe
(via sciencedaily.com) New research has shown that future gravitational wave detections from space will be capable of finding new fundamental fields and potentially shed new light on unexplained aspects of the Universe.
Published Spatial training with blocks and puzzles could unlock the UK's mathematical potential
(via sciencedaily.com) A sustained focus on spatial reasoning training could help children learn science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
Published Words are needed to think about numbers, study suggests
(via sciencedaily.com) Researchers have found a new relationship between counting ability of Tsimane' individuals and their ability to perform matching tasks that involve numbers up to about 25. The results suggest that in order to think about exact numbers, people need to have a word for that number.
Published Saturn’s high-altitude winds generate an extraordinary aurorae, study finds
(via sciencedaily.com) Space scientists have discovered a never-before-seen mechanism fueling huge planetary aurorae at Saturn.
Published Researchers use tiny magnetic swirls to generate true random numbers
(via sciencedaily.com) Skyrmions, tiny magnetic anomalies that arise in two-dimensional materials, can be used to generate true random numbers useful in cryptography and probabilistic computing.
Published Satellites and light reflections help researchers spot coastal plastic waste
(via sciencedaily.com) Geospatial scientists have found a way to detect plastic waste on remote beaches that are not visible in conventional satellite images, bringing us closer to global monitoring options.
Published The power of chaos: A robust and low-cost cryptosystem for the post-quantum era
(via sciencedaily.com) Scientists develop a chaos-based stream cipher that can withstand attacks from large-scale quantum computers.
