Cybersecurity interventions refer to the proactive measures taken to protect computer systems, networks, and data from unauthorized access, damage, or theft. In an increasingly interconnected world, where data flows seamlessly across networks and devices, cybersecurity has become paramount. As technology evolves, so do the threats posed by malicious actors seeking to exploit vulnerabilities.

Engineers at the University of Cincinnati created a more efficient way of converting carbon dioxide into valuable products while simultaneously addressing climate change. In his chemical engineering lab in UC’s College of Engineering and Applied Science, Associate Professor Jingjie Wu and his team found that a modified copper catalyst improves the

Microsoft has a plan to use AI to create a “healthy information ecosystem” just in time for the 2024 election. A February 5 headline from Microsoft’s own site sends the signal: “Here’s how we’re working with journalists to create the newsrooms of the future with AI.” That’s the intended future: The marriage of Big

Smart accessories are increasingly common. Rings and watches track vitals, while Ray-Bans now come with cameras and microphones. Wearable tech has even broached brooches. Yet certain accessories have yet to get the smart touch. University of Washington researchers introduced the Thermal Earring, a wireless wearable that continuously monitors a user's earlobe

MIT economist Isaiah Andrews, with colleagues, has developed tools can help policymakers, business people, and even scientists avoid a "winner's curse" in their work — the pattern in which people select programs that test well at first, but are likely to perform worse upon repetition. When interventions or policies perform well

Solar panels could produce more energy if reflectors were placed in orbit around the Earth to direct sunlight towards solar farms at dawn and dusk, researchers have said. The University of Glasgow team said the plan could help accelerate the transition to net zero and significantly boost the output of future

Russian cosmonaut Oleg Kononenko set a world record for total time spent in space, surpassing his compatriot Gennady Padalka who logged more than 878 days in orbit, Russia's space corporation said. At 0830 GMT Kononenko broke the record, Roscosmos said. Kononenko is expected to reach a total of 1,000 days in

Tropical climates could make racks of hot-running data servers even hotter. But researchers in Singapore are now testing ways to cool this trend, sustainably. The National University of Singapore in Queenstown (NUS), Nanyang Technological University, Singapore (NTUS), together with Singapore’s National Research Foundation and Infocomm Media Development Authority, as well as

Researchers from Tokyo Metropolitan University have created a new superconductor with a chiral crystalline structure by mixing two materials, one with superconductivity but no chirality, another with chirality but no superconductivity. The new platinum-iridium-zirconium compound transitions to a bulk superconductor below 2.2 K and was observed to have chiral crystalline

LiDAR sensors are indispensable for the realization of advanced technologies such as advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS), autonomous driving, and AR/VR. In particular, short- and mid-range LiDAR used in AR/VR devices and smartphones requires better distance (depth) resolution to detect the shape of a person or object more accurately, and
