India’s moon mission is a low-cost success story, here’s why

Posted by in category: space

In fact, India’s epic Chandrayaan-3 lunar landing was cheaper than a string of Hollywood sci-fi epics.

India successfully performed a soft touchdown near the lunar south pole on Wednesday, August 23, for its Chandrayaan-3 mission.

By doing so, it made history by becoming the first nation to land on that region of the lunar surface as well as the fourth country to ever land on the Moon.

Mitochondria pore emerges as potential key to managing muscular dystrophies

Posted by in category: biotech/medical

Ever since the Jerry Lewis telethons began in the 1960s, millions of people have become familiar with an otherwise rare disease called muscular dystrophy (MD).

The medical world has learned much over the ensuing years, including that more than 30 closely related disorders exist that can produce the gradual muscle degeneration that steals a child’s ability to walk and eventually disrupts other organ functions. An estimated 250,000 people in the U.S. are living with a muscular dystrophy. While many are living longer lives thanks to improved treatments, no cure has been found.

Now an eye-opening study led by scientists at Cincinnati Children’s—published Aug. 25, 2023, in Science Advances —reports an entirely new approach to preventing the muscle-wasting symptoms of MD. The research focuses on the role played by mitochondria, the tiny organelle within our cells that processes nutrients into the energy cells need to survive.

Many users who want more from their smartphones are glad to use a plethora of advanced features, mainly for health and entertainment. Turns out that these features create a security risk when making or receiving calls.

Researchers from Texas A&M University and four other institutions created malware called EarSpy, which uses machine learning algorithms to filter caller information from ear speaker vibration data recorded by an Android smartphone’s own motion sensors, without overcoming any safeguards or needing user permissions.
