Scientists Fear a Passing Star Could Fling Earth Out of the Sun's Orbit, Into the Frigid Expanse Beyond
Scientists like to refer to our planet as residing in the "Goldilocks zone," where it's neither too hot nor too cold, and just the right distance away from the Sun to support life. But in the classic "Goldilocks" fairy tale, our eponymous protagonist is forced to flee from the bear's abode she rudely invited herself into, and never comes back. No more perfect porridges or adequately sized beds. That could be the case for Earth one day, if we are to exhaust this analogy. Instead of being booted out by friendly bears, however, we might be thrown to the curb [...]

Record-breaking performance in data security achieved with quantum mechanics
A joint team of researchers led by scientists at King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) and King Abdulaziz City for Science and Technology (KACST) has reported the fastest quantum random number generator (QRNG) to date based on international benchmarks. The QRNG, which passed the required randomness tests of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, could produce random numbers at a rate nearly a thousand times faster than other QRNG.

Mangrove crabs use optical geometry to enhance conspecific signaling
In the tangled darkness of Southeast Asian mangrove forests, one crab species appears to have evolved a structure that functions like a miniature car headlamp. Researchers at the National University of Singapore have discovered that the facial bands of Parasesarma eumolpe crabs are shaped to concentrate reflected light, making signals between individuals brighter and more effective.

Copper death-inhibiting compounds isolated from eucalyptus fruits show promise for cancer therapy
Researchers have isolated two novel bis-β-triketone hybrids, Corymbinols A (1) and B (2a/2b), from the fruits of Corymbia citriodora. Corymbinol A demonstrated a 31% inhibition of cuproptosis in HepG2 cells at a concentration of 20 μM, suggesting its potential as a non-toxic therapeutic option against liver cancer.
