[…] In the body, the shapes of many collagen-containing tissues, including corneas, are held in place by attractions of oppositely charged components. These tissues contain a lot of water, so applying an electric potential to them lowers the tissue’s pH, making it more acidic. By altering the pH, the rigid attractions within the tissue are Read more about Forget LASIK: Safer, cheaper vision correction could be coming soon[…]
An experimental mRNA vaccine boosted the tumor-fighting effects of immunotherapy in a mouse-model study, bringing researchers one step closer to their goal of developing a universal vaccine to “wake up” the immune system against cancer. Published recently in Nature Biomedical Engineering, the University of Florida study showed that like a one-two punch, pairing the test vaccine Read more about A new mRNA cancer vaccine just wiped out tumors in mice[…]
“Sni5Gect [is] a framework that sniffs messages from pre-authentication 5G communication in real-time,” the researchers from the Singapore University of Technology and Design explained of their work, presented this week at the 34th USENIX security bash, “and injects targeted attack payload in downlink communication towards the UE [User Equipment, i.e. a phone].” Designed to take Read more about Boffins release 5G traffic sniffing tool[…]
