š¤ Computer Science
In today's digital era, widespread technology usage improves lives but also raises security concerns like phishing, a cybercrime targeting personal information through fake websites. Researchers are using machine learning and deep learning to detect fraudulent web pages in secondary datasets.
Since 1885, coral reef images have documented historic conditions, but perspective distortion limits their analysis. ReScape, a new computer-vision algorithm, transforms these images into top-down views, enabling accurate quantitative analysis.

Artificial vision systems (AVSs) mimic human perception in machines. Inspired by the mantis shrimp's versatile photoreceptors, nanoclusters offer compact and multifunctional photoreceptor devices for AVSs. These nanocluster-embedded artificial photoreceptors provide photoadaptation and circular polarized light vision, enhancing AVS capabilities.

New research suggests vaporized cannabis containing tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) and cannabidiol (CBD) may provide rapid and sustained relief of acute migraine pain with no serious side effects.
A life-threatening bacterial infection typically spread through rat urine sickened a record number of people in New York City last yearāand this year looks on track for another all-time high, the NYC Department of Health and Mental Hygiene reports.
"Undead" cells in the placenta that spew proteins may help explain cases of heart failure that happen in late pregnancy and the early postpartum period.
š Space & Astronomy
Physicists and cosmologists will have a new probe of primordial processes when Europe launches the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA).
Later this decade, astronauts will carry science experiments to study moonquakes, lunar water ice, and extraterrestrial agriculture when they return to the moon.
