Scientists at Goethe University Frankfurt have identified a new way to probe the interior of neutron stars using gravitational waves from their collisions. By analyzing the “long ringdown” phase—a pure-tone signal emitted by the post-merger remnant—they have found a strong correlation between the signal’s properties and the equation of state of neutron-star matter. Their results were recently published in Nature Communications.

Neutron stars, with a mass greater than that of the entire solar system confined within a nearly perfect sphere just a dozen kilometers in diameter, are among the most fascinating astrophysical objects known to humankind. Yet, the in their interiors make their composition and structure highly uncertain.

The collision of two neutron stars, such as the one observed in 2017, provides a unique opportunity to uncover these mysteries. As binary neutron stars inspiral for millions of years, they emit , but the most intense emission occurs at and just milliseconds after the moment of merging.

Every cell in the body normally has its fixed place as part of a tissue structure. Except for a few cell types, such as blood or immune cells. But cancer cells also cross established boundaries, grow into the surrounding tissue and multiply. And they can detach from the cell structure and spread via the blood or lymphatic vessels to other areas of the body, where they attach to new cells and form metastases.

The changes that undergo to metastasize are not yet fully understood. Rho (Ras-homologous) GTPases apparently play an important role. These proteins process signals within cells and regulate, among other things, growth, differentiation into the genetically predetermined cell type and cell migration.

Rho GTPases are molecular switches that switch between an active and an inactive state by binding to the phosphate compounds GTP and GDP. GTP corresponds to the ‘on’ position of the switch and starts the molecular biological processes, while GDP corresponds to the ‘off’ position and stops them.

In this video, Dr. Ben Goertzel, CEO of SingularityNET, TrueAGI and the Artificial Superintelligence Alliance (ASI Alliance), analyzes DeepSeek LLM as an efficiency advancement rather than an AGI breakthrough. The model’s open-source implementation and technical architecture (mixture of experts and multi-token training) improve accessibility while maintaining performance. This development demonstrates the continued democratization of AI capabilities and may redirect industry focus toward alternative computing architectures and decentralized systems.

SingularityNET was founded by Dr. Ben Goertzel with the mission of creating a decentralized, democratic, inclusive, and beneficial Artificial General Intelligence (AGI). An AGI is not dependent on any central entity, is open to anyone, and is not restricted to the narrow goals of a single corporation or even a single country.

While reviewing a manuscript for the Journal of Organic Chemistry, Caroline Kervarc-Genre and her colleague, Thibault Cantat, researchers at the French Alternative Energies and Atomic Energy Commission, noticed something unusual.

The nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectra buried in the supplementary information had striking irregularities: The baseline was interrupted in some parts, and the noise was the same from one spectrum to the next. “Noise being inherently random, repeating noise is only possible if the spectra are altered [or] fake,” Kervarc-Genre told Retraction Watch.

Starting to suspect something was wrong, she and Cantat, examined other papers by the lead author. They discovered data appeared to have been edited in several of the author’s latest publications. “The fraud was not subtle,” Kervarc-Genre said.

Vincent Danen is the Vice President of Product Security at Red Hat.

Cyber threats are an everyday reality. Attackers exploit the unwitting, stealing confidential and sensitive information through online scam campaigns. Data breach prevention is only as strong as the weakest link, and, in most cases, that link is human. As I mentioned in a previous article, it is reported that 74% of data breaches are caused by human error.

According to a 2020 FBI report, there was a 400% spike in cyberattacks during the Covid-19 pandemic. The human element is a significant vulnerability in cybersecurity, often overlooked in favor of technological solutions. Many organizations focus on addressing software vulnerabilities when employees remain the weakest link in the organization’s security program. Even the most secure software, with all vendor security patches applied, is in danger if the human aspect of risk management is neglected.
