Bend the beam like Beckham to defeat anti-jamming tech
Wireless jamming attacks are on the rise. Rice University researchers have shown how self-curving radio beams can make a jammer appear to be somewhere it isn't, potentially undermining some anti-jamming defenses. Jamming relies on flooding a wireless receiver with noise that denies service.
Scientists unveil 'living bandage' that could dramatically speed wound healing
A new "living bandage" could soon revolutionize how doctors treat serious injuries by accelerating the healing process, according to new research reported by SWNS.The high-tech patch was developed by researchers at Rice University in Texas. It acts like an around-the-clock mini factory, continuously delivering healing proteins directly to different types of wounds, the same source noted. Caring for chronic wounds is often a challenge for doctors, as it's difficult to deliver steady,...
Living brain gene activity revealed noninvasively through programmable blood test
Living brain gene activity revealed noninvasively through programmable blood test Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Cell function is determined by how DNA is expressed into proteins. That process includes two main steps—transcription, when messenger RNA (mRNA) makes copies of active genes; and translation, when mRNA guides protein assembly. Knowing which genes are active at any given moment would make it possible to track the body's response to factors in the...
How Jupiter may have redirected life's ingredients toward Earth 4.5 billion years ago
How Jupiter may have redirected life's ingredients toward Earth 4.5 billion years ago Robert Egan Associate Editor NASA-supported scientists have provided new information about how the early Earth may have acquired some elements necessary for the planet to become habitable. They also suggest a new role for Jupiter in the distribution of these elements throughout the young solar system. The study, published in Science Advances, examines this history by looking at the ratio of phosphorus to...
How drought rewires roots, cutting iron uptake across major food crops
How drought rewires roots, cutting iron uptake across major food crops Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor New research by scientists at the University of Calgary has found that plants, ranging from canola to rice to tomatoes, actively shut down their own ability to take up iron when they experience drought. It's a finding that could have implications for the nutritional value of agricultural crops. The study, published in the journal Cell, questions whether plants...
Matter may entangle with light far more easily near quantum critical points
Quantum entanglement is a state in which particles are entwined with each other. In this entwined state, the properties of one particle influence the other, even when they aren't physically close to each other. This phenomenon has often been observed in small quantum systems with only a few particles in them, where researchers can use it to store and process quantum information.
MLB swing-tracking data helps researchers examine baseball's long-debated two-strike approach
MLB swing-tracking data helps researchers examine baseball's long-debated two-strike approach Stephanie Baum Scientific Editor Andrew Zinin Lead Editor When baseball fans watch a batter strike out with runners in scoring position, the reaction is often immediate: Shorten the swing. Put the ball in play. Stop swinging for the fences, they lament.
Magnesium transporter discovery could improve rice nutrition and taste
Magnesium transporter discovery could improve rice nutrition and taste Sadie Harley Scientific Editor Robert Egan Associate Editor Rice is a staple food for nearly half the global population and an important dietary source of magnesium, a mineral essential for human health, plant growth and energy metabolism. Although magnesium is known to influence grain quality and taste, the biological mechanism controlling how the mineral reaches rice grains has remained largely unknown. Understanding...
Does a restaurant need to go viral to survive? Red House Seafood’s Christopher Chang hopes not
Does a restaurant need to go viral to survive? Red House Seafood’s Christopher Chang hopes not As Red House Seafood marks its 50th anniversary, Christopher Chang reflects on resisting the pull of social media while staying true to the values that built his family’s restaurant. Fifty-somethings know it: That brutal moment when you realise you cannot – and should not – try to keep up with the younger faces in any given room.
