Researchers at LMU have uncovered how ribosomes, the cell’s protein builders, also act as early warning sensors when something goes wrong inside a cell.
When protein production is disrupted, and ribosomes begin to collide, a molecule called ZAK detects the pileup and switches on protective stress responses.
Ribosomes as protein builders and stress sensors.

The police in Poland arrested three Ukrainian nationals for allegedly attempting to damage IT systems in the country using hacking equipment and for obtaining “computer data of particular importance to national defense.”
The three men, aged between 39 and 43, could not explain why they were carrying the electronic devices. They now face charges of fraud, computer fraud, and possession of devices and software intended for criminal activity.
According to the police, the Ukrainians “were visibly nervous” when officers stopped them and said they were heading to Lithuania while traveling around Europe.

Spintronics is short for “spin electronics,” and refers to the study of the spin of the electron. In electronic devices, spintronics leverages the spin of electrons to process and store data with extreme efficiency – this technology is just a few years from reaching the consumer market, and will make your devices faster and more efficient. For a price, of course. Let’s take a look at how spintronics got here and where it’s going.

The Korean National Police have arrested four individuals suspected of hacking over 120,000 IP cameras across the country and then selling stolen footage to a foreign adult site.
Although the suspects or the websites haven’t been named, the police are already taking action against viewers of the illicitly gained content, as well as the operators of the website, through international collaboration.
“The National Office of Investigation announced that four suspects who hacked over 120,000 IP cameras installed in private homes and commercial facilities and sold the stolen footage on an overseas illegal website have been arrested,” reads an announcement from the National Office of Investigation.
Researchers at the University of Innsbruck have shown that quantum sensors can remain highly accurate even in extremely noisy conditions. It’s the first experimental realization of a powerful quantum sensing protocol, outperforming all comparable classical strategies—even under overwhelming noise.
The study has been published in Physical Review Letters.
Quantum sensors promise unprecedented measurement precision, but their advantage can quickly erode in realistic environments where noise dominates.
