The recent antitrust charges brought against the property management software company, RealPage, by US prosecutors have sent shockwaves through the real estate industry. The Department of Justice, along with eight US states, filed a civil lawsuit alleging that RealPage has been utilizing algorithms to facilitate collusion among landlords, ultimately harming renters across various US markets.
Invasive fungal infections continue to pose a significant threat to public health, with more than 2 million people affected annually. Candida species are among the most common causative agents of these infections, often leading to high mortality rates. The development of new antifungal therapies has been slow, particularly as drug resistance becomes increasingly prevalent. However,
In a recent study conducted by researchers from the University of Rochester in the US, a surprising discovery was made about the potential of a drug used to induce labor in protecting the aging brain. The drug, prostaglandin F2α, which is typically used to encourage delivery or reduce blood loss after birth, was found to
The realm of astrophysics is filled with enigmatic phenomena, and one of the most captivating mysteries that continues to baffle scientists is the occurrence of Fast Radio Bursts (FRBs). These sudden and intense blasts of radio wave energy from deep space have puzzled researchers for years, prompting numerous studies and investigations to unravel their origins
In a groundbreaking study published in Science, researchers from Imperial College London and Google DeepMind have introduced a new approach to modeling the states of molecules using neural networks. This innovative technique has the potential to revolutionize the field of computational chemistry by enabling researchers to prototype new materials and chemical syntheses through computer simulations.
The recent unveiling of the first comprehensive global evaluation of 1,500 climate policy measures from 41 countries by an international research team has shed light on the effectiveness of various climate policy instruments. Published in the prestigious journal Science, this groundbreaking study analyzed the impact of climate policies implemented over the last two decades. While
The Korea Institute of Energy Research (KIER) has made a groundbreaking discovery in the field of battery technology. They have developed a redox-active metal-organic hybrid electrode material known as SKIER-5, which addresses the limitations of using graphite as an anode material in conventional Li batteries, especially in freezing conditions. Conventional lithium-ion batteries rely on graphite
The world of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) is constantly evolving, with demands for more realistic and immersive experiences on the rise. Recent advancements in wearable technology, mobile devices, and the Internet of Things (IoT) have sparked a need for high-quality displays that can convey vast amounts of information on small screens without
The Sun, from a distance, appears serene and unassuming as it shines brightly in our skies. However, upon closer observation, it reveals a tumultuous and chaotic display of solar activity that has taken many experts by surprise. Andrew Gerrard, the department chair and director of the Center for Solar-Terrestrial Research at New Jersey Institute of
A recent study conducted on mice has challenged the traditional belief that reducing caloric intake can lead to a decrease in exercise performance. The researchers from the University of California, Riverside (UCR) conducted experiments on mice by reducing their caloric intake by 20 percent for one week, and then by 40 percent the following week
The advancement of self-driving vehicle technology has introduced the concept of vehicle-to-everything (V2X) collaboration, where vehicles communicate and work together to improve road safety and efficiency. However, a recent study led by the University of Michigan has revealed a significant vulnerability in these networks – data fabrication attacks. This vulnerability poses a serious threat to
The field of cryo-electron tomography (cryo-ET) has revolutionized the way scientists visualize and analyze cellular structures within their natural environment. This cutting-edge technology has opened up new avenues for studying complex biological processes at the molecular level. In a recent study conducted by researchers at the MPI of Biochemistry in Martinsried and the University Medical
The current state of tropical cyclone prediction offers only a short window of opportunity for communities to prepare for incoming storms.
