While funding is pumped into preventing low-probability scenarios such as asteroid collision, the far more likely threat of a large volcanic eruption is close to ignored – despite much that could be done to reduce the risks, say researchers.
For decades computers have been synonymous with binary information – zeros and ones.
Quantum clocks are shrinking, thanks to new technologies developed at the University of Birmingham-led UK Quantum Technology Hub Sensors and Timing.
An international team led by LMU physicist Harald Weinfurter has successfully implemented an advanced form of quantum cryptography for the first time. Encryption is more secure against hacking attempts.
Finnish and French scientists have revealed how the actin cytoskeleton in cells is controlled in an evolutionarily distant, pathogenic Leishmania parasite.
