Scientists at the PHENIX experiment at RHIC have uncovered compelling evidence that even collisions involving small nuclei with large ones can produce tiny droplets of quark-gluon plasma.
Plasma is one of the four fundamental states of matter, along with solid, liquid, and gas. It is an ionized gas consisting of positive ions and free electrons. It was first described by chemist Irving Langmuir in the 1920s.
Scientists have created over a million simulated cosmic images using the power of supercomputers to anticipate the capabilities of NASA
NASA, the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, is the United States government agency responsible for the nation’s civilian space program and for aeronautics and aerospace research. Established in 1958 by the National Aeronautics and Space Act, NASA has led the U.S. in space exploration efforts, including the Apollo moon-landing missions, the Skylab space station, and the Space Shuttle program.
UAC-0063, linked to APT28, expands beyond Central Asia, targeting European embassies with advanced malware.
Since July 2024, a phishing campaign in Poland and Germany has used PureCrypter to deploy TorNet via TOR, evading cloud antimalware with advanced anti.
Threat actors exploit ESXi systems as C2 tunnels, leveraging SSH for stealthy persistence, Sygnia reports.
HackGATE transforms pentesting with real-time visibility, 65% vendor reliance reduction, and enhanced compliance.
Google announced that the Chrome Sync feature will be discontinued in early 2025 for Chrome versions older than four years.
When enabled, Chrome Sync keeps users’ bookmarks, passwords, history, open tabs, settings, preferences, and, sometimes, Google Pay payment information. It also automatically signs users into Gmail, YouTube, Search, and other Google services.
The move was announced on the company’s community website over the weekend via a locked post that doesn’t accept replies.
A team of security researchers has disclosed new side-channel vulnerabilities in modern Apple processors that could steal sensitive information from web browsers.
The Georgia Institute of Technology and Ruhr University Bochum researchers, who presented another attack dubbed ‘iLeakage’ in October 2023, presented their new findings in two separate papers, namely FLOP and SLAP, which show distinct flaws and ways to exploit them.
The flaws stem from faulty speculative execution implementation, the underlying cause of notorious attacks like Spectre and Meltdown.
Microsoft has started testing a new “scareware blocker” feature for the Edge web browser on Windows PCs, which uses machine learning (ML) to detect tech support scams.
Scareware scams (also known as tech support scams) have been a pervasive threat for years. The scammers use aggressive landing pages to persuade potential victims that their devices have been compromised with malware and then try to gain remote access to targets’ systems by pressuring them to call a fake tech support number.
Defender SmartScreen, which also protects Edge users from scams, activates after an abusive site is detected and added to its index of malicious web pages to safeguard users globally within minutes.
Scientists have unveiled a groundbreaking method to test how thousands of active substances influence cellular metabolism simultaneously.
By using high-throughput metabolomics and mass spectrometry, they identified unexpected effects of existing medications, paving the way for repurposing drugs and accelerating drug discovery. This approach could one day align patient-specific metabolic data with tailored treatments.
Understanding active substances and cell metabolism.
