Russia’s ever-tightening grip on its citizens’ Internet access through censorship has troubling implications for Internet freedom in the United States and other countries that share its decentralized network structure, according to a University of Michigan study. Released a week after a sweeping, additional censorship law called Sovereign RUnet took effect in Russia, the researchers say ...
Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI) security researchers Berk Sunar and Daniel Moghimi led an international team of researchers that discovered serious security vulnerabilities in computer chips made by Intel Corp. and STMicroelectronics. The flaws affect billions of laptop, server, tablet, and desktop users around the world. The proof-of-concept attack is dubbed TPM-Fail. The two newly found ...
There are major gaps in how food waste in tourism is understood and calculated, according to researchers at the University of Eastern Finland and the University of Southern California. The waste originating from hotels, restaurants, and events is recognized and can be estimated and calculated, but as the tourism industry is becoming more and more ...
A team of Clemson University astrophysicists has added a novel approach to quantifying one of the most fundamental laws of the universe wielding state-of-the-art technologies and techniques. In a paper published in The Astrophysical Journal, Clemson scientists Marco Ajello, Abhishek Desai, Lea Marcotulli, and Dieter Hartmann have collaborated with six other scientists around the world ...
Ancient Egyptians considered the Nile River to be the source of all life. The steady northward path of the river has nourished the fertile valleys of northeast Africa for millions of years and in doing so, shaped the course of human civilization. The Nile’s unchanging path, however, has been a geologic mystery because long-lived rivers ...
Researchers at the University of Western Australia have uncovered evidence of a new type of fossilization that may explain how some of Earth’s oldest microfossils formed and might even help scientists detect evidence of past life on other planets. They provide important clues about the early history of life on Earth; however, some mystery still ...
Parents of infants with sleep trouble have an increased risk of daytime dysfunction, including work and driving performance. New Flinders research has also measured the effects of sleep disruption from waking up regularly to deal with text messages during the night. The research was among the key presentations at the national Sleep DownUnder 2019 conference ...
Researchers at the University of Iowa report that the spacecraft Voyager 2 has entered the interstellar medium (ISM), the region of space outside the bubble-shaped boundary produced by wind streaming outward from the Sun. Voyager 2 thus becomes the second human-made object to journey out of our Sun’s influence, following Voyager 1’s solar exit in 2012. ...
From Legionella bacteria and non-tuberculous mycobacteria, safe transport of mains drinking water depends on best practice and good policy, environmental health experts say. However, Flinders University academics warn current systems and legislation may not always be supported by solid scientific research or best practices in public health. Flinders University Associate Professor Richard Bentham, who presented ...
Roland Ebel of the Sustainable Food Systems Program at Montana State University conducted a research project to determine the extent to which an ancient agricultural technique of the Aztecs could benefit 21st-century urban farming needs. Specifically, Ebel examined the use of “chinampas” with the hope of discovering their modern utility. A chinampa is a raised ...
