To encode messages, the scientists appointed various bubble sizes, shapes, and orientations to Morse code and binary characters and used their freezing approach to produce ice bubbles representing the preferred characters. Next, they took a photo of the ice layer and transformed it to gray scale, training a computer system to recognize the position and the size of the bubbles and decode the message into English letters and Arabic numerals. The group found that binary coding could keep messages 10 times longer than Morse code.Someday, this freezing technique might be utilized for short message storage in Antarctica and comparable extremely cold areas where traditional information storage techniques are tough and/or too costly, per the authors. Qiang Tang of the University of Australia, who was not included in the research, told New Scientist that he did not see much practical application for the development in cryptography or security, unless a polar bear might desire to tell somebody something.

Credit: Sean Carroll The Internet was made for felines, specifically YouTube, which includes millions of videos of differing quality, recording the insane shenanigans of our furry feline friends. Those videos can also serve the interests of science, as evidenced by the global group of scientists who analyzed 408 openly readily available videos of sleeping cats to study whether the cats revealed any preference for sleeping on their right or left sides. According to a paper released in the journal Current Biology, two-thirds of those videos showed felines sleeping on their left sides.Why should this behavioral asymmetry hold true? There are likely different factors, but the authors assume that it has something to do with cat perception and their vulnerability to predators while sleeping (generally in between 12 to 16 hours a day). The right hemisphere of the brain controls in spatial attention, while the ideal amygdala is dominant for processing risks. That's why most species respond more quickly when a predator approaches from the. Since a cat's left visual field is processed in the dominant right hemisphere of their brains, sleeping on the left side can for that reason be a survival method, the authors concluded.766533 db172fcc029f91bd7862596af0

Senate GOP budget bill has little-noticed provision that could hurt your Wi-FiSenate GOP budget bill has little-noticed provision that could hurt your Wi-Fi

Michael Calabrese of New America's Open Technology Institute told Ars that 6 GHz and CBRS "are the most vulnerable non-federal bands for reallocation and auction." While the spectrum for auctions is to come from frequencies between 1.3 and 10.5 GHz, much of that spectrum will be off-limits either because it's specifically excluded or because it would be more difficult to reallocate.

"About half the spectrum in that range is federal, and then the rest has already been auctioned for cellular mobile use or is assigned to other critical users such as aviation and satellites," said Calabrese, who directs the Open Technology Institute's Wireless Future Project. ....
