The FBI has warned that hackers are obtaining private user information from U.S.-based tech companies by compromising government and police email addresses to submit “emergency” data requests. This abuse of emergency data requests is not new, but the FBI has seen an uptick in criminal posts online advertising access to or conducting fraudulent emergency data…
Physicists in California have conducted field experiments that suggest intermittent bursts of embers play a significant role in the spread of wildfires. The research, which involved building a bonfire and tracking embers, has called into question previous fire models and highlights the need for more accurate predictions to prevent infrastructure damage and loss of life….
The biotech industry in Europe is experiencing significant growth, with numerous trends shaping the sector. A list of top European biotech companies that have received sizable seed funding in the past year has been compiled, highlighting companies that are directing funds towards research and development (R&D) programs in various therapeutic areas. The industry is witnessing…
Researchers from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) have made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of optical trapping. They have developed a miniature, chip-based optical trap that can capture and manipulate particles, including cells, at a distance of up to 5 millimeters from the chip surface. This innovation has the potential to revolutionize biological…
In a groundbreaking discovery, two mathematicians, Christoph Kehle and Ryan Unger, have proved that extremal black holes can exist in the real world, contradicting a long-held theory by Stephen Hawking and his colleagues. The researchers used mathematical models to demonstrate that it is theoretically possible for extremal black holes to form, which could have significant…
If Donald Trump wins the US presidential election, Elon Musk, the CEO of Tesla and SpaceX, may join the United States government as a cabinet member. This move would be a significant shift in the country’s politics, as Musk has been a vocal supporter of Trump and has expressed his desire to reduce government spending….
A new mutant strain of photosynthesizing bacteria, dubbed Chonkus, has been discovered in the shallow waters off Italy’s Vulcano Island. This superpowered microbe has the potential to aid in carbon sequestration and could be a crucial tool in the fight against climate change. Forecast for 6 months: Governments and research institutions will begin to invest…
Oil giant BP has announced the cancellation of 18 early-stage hydrogen projects, sparking concerns about the future of the nascent industry. This move is expected to have a significant impact on the development of green hydrogen, which has the potential to reduce carbon pollution in various industries. The decision is seen as a setback for…
A team of researchers has made a groundbreaking discovery that could revolutionize potato farming. By understanding the genetic mechanism that controls nitrogen management in potatoes, scientists may be able to develop varieties that require less fertilizer, saving farmers money and reducing the environmental impact of potato cultivation. Forecast for 6 months: Within the next six…
Vampire bats have been found to metabolize their food in a unique way, using amino acids from their recent blood meals as a primary source of energy. This discovery challenges our understanding of mammalian physiology and may have implications for our understanding of other mammals that rely on blood or protein-rich diets. Researchers have been…
