Something May Be Flowing Beneath Pluto’s Giant Heart-Shaped Glacier

VTBC ┋
Researchers used New Horizons images to identify evidence that liquid nitrogen may have flowed from beneath Pluto’s famous heart-shaped glacier. Dark markings across part of Pluto’s enormous heart-shaped glacier may record something unexpected beneath its frozen surface: liquid nitrogen moving upward and briefly flowing across the ice. Using observations from NASA’s New Horizons spacecraft, researchers [...] Explore the content:

A battery-free sweat sensor could make levodopa monitoring faster and more personalized for people with Parkinson’s disease. For people with Parkinson’s disease, the effect of a levodopa dose can fade abruptly, allowing movement problems to return before the next scheduled dose. Engineers and neuroscientists at the University of California San Diego have developed a soft [...] Explore the content: http://dlvr.it/TTw0mM

ZiaCore microreactor successfully achieves criticality

VTBC ┋
Image
The emerging technology of advanced nuclear microreactors offers solutions to many modern energy challenges. The ZiaCore design, a low-enriched uranium dioxide-fueled microreactor developed by Los Alamos National Laboratory, now joins several developing concepts for fission-based nuclear power microreactors that have achieved initial criticality. The ZiaCore design reached this milestone through a proof-of-principle experiment—a high-temperature, zero-power criticality demonstration at the National Criticality Experiments Research Center (NCERC) in Nevada.

Elastic Defend now covers 800+ vulnerable drivers, with automated troubleshooting and ARM support

VTBC ┋
Image
Attackers reaching for kernel access on a Windows machine bring a driver Microsoft already trusts. It is signed, it loads, and it carries a known flaw. That flaw gives them enough room to tamper with memory or disable the security software watching the host. Once an attacker holds that level of access, the tools on the machine stop reliably protecting it. Ransomware crews run the technique as a step before they deploy a payload, a … More → The post Elastic Defend now covers 800+ vulnerable drivers, with automated troubleshooting and ARM support appeared first on Help Net Security.
