Avihu28/Quantum-Safe-Bitcoin-Transactions: A way to enable Quantum Safe Bitcoin transactions that is available today

The Cost: You don’t need a supercomputer to stay safe. A standard off-chain GPU and a few hundred dollars can “harden” your transaction against a multi-billion dollar quantum machine.

AI can design and run thousands of lab experiments without human hands. Humanity isn’t ready for the new risks this brings to biology

Faster protein engineering could mean faster responses to emerging infections and cheaper drugs.

The dual-use problem

Researchers have raised concerns that these same AI tools could be misused, a challenge known as the dual-use problem: Technologies developed for beneficial purposes can also be repurposed to cause harm.

TRUE-MOGAD ScoreA Novel Scoring System to Identify MOGAD Among Positive MOG-IgG Test Results

This study shows that a TRUE-MOGAD score of 2 or more accurately predicts MOGAD in patients with MOG-IgG titers of 1:20 or higher using the described assay. Read more.


Myelin oligodendrocyte glycoprotein (MOG) antibodies (MOG-IgG) are a biomarker of MOG antibody-associated disease (MOGAD). However, false positives remain common. We aimed to develop a scoring tool to guide interpretation.

3D-printed metamaterials that stretch and fail by design

MIT’s Department of Mechanical Engineering (MechE) offers a world-class education that combines thorough analysis with hands-on discovery. One of the original six courses offered when MIT was founded, MechE faculty and students conduct research that pushes boundaries and provides creative solutions for the world’s problems.

Project Zomboid identifies and bans over a dozen Steam Workshop mods containing ‘heavily obfuscated code’ that was ‘creating malicious files’

The exploit only affected Build 42 branches of Project Zomboid (the game’s current ‘unstable’ testing release), so if you’re on Build 41, you were “not vulnerable to this specific issue,” the dev said. While The Indie Stone hasn’t determined what the malicious files were actually doing, “we strongly recommend that anyone who downloaded them take appropriate security measures to ensure their system is safe. Simply uninstalling the mods is not sufficient.”

If you use mods in Project Zomboid, check them against the list below to determine if you’ve downloaded and run any of these mods, which all look to be sound or music-related.
