A new study from Tel Aviv University overturns prevailing scientific beliefs that King Solomon’s mines not only harmed the health of workers in the ancient copper industry but also pose risks to the health of modern residents living near the site.

Floating wind power offers enormous potential for deepwater offshore energy development. However, the management and secure exchange of data between stakeholders represents a key challenge for its evolution. A new cryptographic framework, proposed by researchers Claudia Bartoli (IMDEA Software) and Irene Rivera-Arreba (Norwegian University of Science and Technology, NTNU) tries to solve this problem with a data sharing scheme that guarantees data integrity without compromising privacy. This breakthrough seeks to foster collaboration between industries and academia, driving innovation in floating wind technologies.

Macquarie University physicists have transformed a viral microwave trick into serious science, showing how ordinary grapes could make quantum sensors more powerful. The discovery could lead to smaller, more efficient quantum devices.

Even highly realistic androids can cause unease when their facial expressions lack emotional consistency. Traditionally, a "patchwork method" has been used for facial movements, but it comes with practical limitations. A team developed a new technology using "waveform movements" to create real-time, complex expressions without unnatural transitions. This system reflects internal states, enhancing emotional communication between robots and humans, potentially making androids feel more humanlike.

The research team led by Dr. Moon-Hyeong Seo from the Natural Product Drug Development Center at the Korea Institute of Science and Technology (KIST) has developed a new therapeutic agent for dry AMD that can be administered as eye drops.
