Validated lung digital twin technology forms the foundation of Ebenbuild’s platform applications, supporting translational research today and regulated clinical use in the future

Researchers at Ben-Gurion University of the Negev have developed a new approach to secure optical communication that hides information in the physical structure of light, making it difficult for unauthorized parties to intercept or decode.

A special webinar will feature leading women physicists from India who will highlight both the barriers they have faced in science and the real‑world impact of their research. 

A once-theoretical structure is now shaping the future of computing. Researchers have uncovered key properties of magnetic skyrmions, ultra-stable, 2 nm vortex-like structures that could enable next-gen memory with extremely low power consumption. Even more surprising? They can form in materials once thought impossible.

Researchers are investigating how 3D printers could achieve unprecedented levels of precision when creating batteries, opening the door for new innovations.

How can public spaces remain safe when large crowds move through them? Engineers and researchers who study these environments often rely on physical models borrowed from fluid dynamics — a branch of physics that describes the collective motion of fluids, whose behaviour emerges from the interactions of many particles. But a new study published in the Journal of Statistical Physics: Theory and Experiment (JSTAT) highlights a crucial issue: the way data are collected and measured within these models lacks standardisation and may overlook important features of human collective behaviour. Unlike particles, people are living agents with individual decisions and complex interactions, making their movement harder to capture with traditional approaches. In their study, the authors propose and experimentally test new methods to address these limitations, comparing them with more established techniques. Their results point the way toward clearer methodological guidelines and the development of more reliable tools for those involved in the design and management of public spaces.

Researchers in Japan have developed a new LED structure that generates circularly polarized light from a single chip. The advance could support smaller and more energy-efficient optical devices for AR/VR, 3D displays, quantum communication, and optical security. By combining a semipolar InGaN light-emitting structure with a stripe-shaped silicon nitride metasurface, the team created a compact light source that reduces energy-conversion loss and operates at room temperature. This advancement could help bring ultra-compact, durable light sources closer to practical use in AR/VR, 3D displays, quantum communication, and optical security.

Researchers analyzed communication across the animal kingdom, including firefly flashes, cricket chirps, frog croaks, birds’ mating displays and more. Across species, many communication signals repeat at two beats per second. Brains are most effective at processing signals that arrive about twice per second. Findings suggest communication signals may have evolved to match the rhythms the brain processes most easily.
