In space, everything is moving, including Earth spinning on its axis and … Read more
Japanese researchers have discovered a new type of ice, named ice 0, which can initiate the formation of ice crystals in supercooled water near its surface. This discovery resolves a longstanding question and could significantly impact various fields, including climate studies and food sciences. Ice 0 precursors, with a structure similar to supercooled water, facilitate … Read more
A type of malware called Gh0st RAT has been discovered being distributed through a “dropper” named Gh0stGambit as part of a drive-by download scheme targeting Chinese Windows users.
