The discovery of Acanthosaura syrax, a new species of mountain horned dragon from western Thailand, highlights its unique characteristics and genetic distinctiveness. The lizard's distinctive yellowish-green coloration, small body size, and lack of black eye patches set it apart from other known species.
A recent real-world study indicates that reaching a PSA level below 0.2 ng/mL is associated with improved patient survival, and this cutoff may be the best metric for determining treatment success, according to investigators analyzing Veterans Health Administration data.
Researchers reveal a new attack surface exposed to malicious and compromised SIMs, allowing attackers to gather information about devices, interfere with connectivity, and serve as entry points for further cyberattacks. The study highlights four attacker scenarios leading to malicious or compromised SIMs and eSIMs.
A new learning technique called A²SG enhances the performance of spiking neural networks (SNNs), achieving world-leading accuracy in large-scale image recognition. The technique combines adaptive and asymmetric approaches to fine-tune models, delivering improved performance at a lower computational cost.
A recent study reveals that marine microplastics can persist and leach chemicals from plastic additives even after fragmentation. Chemicals such as antioxidants, plasticizers, and flame retardants were detected in both microplastics and larger plastic debris collected around Japan.
