Imagine waking up one morning to find $60, 000 gone from your bank account. That's exactly what happened to a York resident last November. The culprit? Not some local troublemaker, but a tech-savvy scammer named Ayme Galvan from Texas. Galvan and their gang have been causing problems in multiple sta
Fans of science fiction are no strangers to new worlds and futuristic ideas, but what if they could help shape these universes themselves? That's exactly what David S. Goyer, known for blockbusters like "Blade" and "The Dark Knight" trilogy, is set to explore with his new sci-fi franchise, "Emergenc
Did you know that some fungi can help make proteins really quickly and easily? Out of 22 different types of filamentous fungi studied, 12 showed potential for cell-free protein synthesis. This means they can create proteins outside of a living cell. Pretty cool, right? The fungus Neurospora crassa w
Have you ever heard of using magnets to cook cancer cells? Well, researchers have discovered a cool way to use magnetic iron oxide nanoparticles mixed with a gel to heat up tumors from the inside. This jelly, called IT-MG, can react to special radio waves, getting hot enough to kill cancer cells whe
Get ready for a comfy ride! Jetstar, Australia's popular low-cost airline, is giving its Boeing 787-8 Dreamliners a major facelift. This isn't your average update; they're revamping the cabins to make your flight even better. The airline has planned a multi-million dollar project to upgrade its elev
Machine learning is stepping up to help predict COVID-19 cases, especially in regions where data can be a bit iffy. You see, the COVID-19 pandemic hit hard in 2019, causing a lot of sickness and even death. One big problem was getting accurate numbers on how many people were actually sick, especiall
Imagine you're a detective, but instead of clues, you're searching for missing genes. That's essentially what happened with a woman in her 40s from Japan. She was suspected to have Li-Fraumeni syndrome, a condition linked to increased cancer risk. Scientists turned to advanced genetic tools, like th
Did you know that the way forests are split up and warmer temperatures can increase the risk of tick-borne diseases? Scientists in southern Japan studied this by looking at data from Miyazaki Prefecture. They found that the more forest edges there were and the hotter it was, the more cases of a tick
Human mesenchymal stromal cells, or hMSCs, are special adult cells that can turn into different types of cells. They're super important in regenerative medicine. One big concern is that these cells are often grown with supplements that come from animals. Regulatory agencies want us to avoid these an
Ever wondered why metal-polymer pairs in brakes get worn out by hydrogen? Scientists are now figuring out a way to fix this by looking at how these materials react with water and hydrogen. They've found that keeping the metal's electrode potential below water's in a neutral medium helps. Also, the r
