New York, Researchers have found significant and previously unknown vulnerabilities in high-performance computer chips that could damage the communications systems. The team from the Washington State University (WSU) found that deliberately adding malicious workload can shorten the lifetime of the whole computer chip significantly. “The communications system is the glue[Read More…]

According to the findings, the process of modern human populations absorbing Neanderthal populations through interbreeding was not a regular or a gradual wave-of-advance phenomenon,[Read More…]
Underweight women at greater risk of early menopause: Study
Women who were underweight as teenagers or in their mid-30s are at greater risk of facing an early menopause compared to lean or normal weight women, researchers have warned. Early menopause, defined as naturally occurring menopause before age 45, is associated with a higher risk of cardiovascular disease, and other[Read More…]
New and accurate method for detecting melanoma skin cancer
By combining imagining with digital analysis and machine learning, researchers have developed by an automated technology to help physicians detect melanoma at its early stages. Melanoma can be hard to detect and diagnose. As the skin cancer can start by being a mere mole which later turns out to be[Read More…]
Breakthrough! Vaccine against HIV closer to reality, say researchers
In a remarkable progress towards the development of a vaccine against HIV, scientists have developed a new approach to help the immune system actively fight the virus in the body. For the first time, researchers showed that a combined approach – using a common cold virus to introduce a vaccine[Read More…]
