Humans colonized diverse environments in Southeast Asia and Oceania during the Pleistocene

Investigations into what it means to be human have often focused on attempts to uncover the earliest material traces of 'art', 'language', or technological 'complexity'. More recently, scholars have begun to argue that more attention should be paid to the ecological uniqueness of our species. A new study reviews the palaeoecological information associated with hominin dispersals into Southeast Asia and Oceania throughout the Pleistocene (1.25 Ma to 12 ka). from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190128122236.htm

Better safeguards for sensitive information

Despite being the most advanced quantum technology, secure encryption of information units based on a method called quantum key distribution (QKD) is currently limited by the channel's capacity to send or share secret bits. Scientists now show how to better approach the secret key capacity by improving the channel's lower boundary. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190128101106.htm

3D virtual slicing of an antique violin reveals ancient varnishing methods

Italian violin-making masters of the distant past developed varnishing techniques that lent their instruments both an excellent musical tone and impressive appearance. Scientists have now developed a non-invasive 3D-scanning approach to gain insights into the main morphological features of the overlapping finishing layers used on violins. This could help scientists rediscover the procedures employed by ancient violin masters. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190128101102.htm

Quantifying how much quantum information can be eavesdropped

The most basic type of quantum information processing is quantum entanglement. Researchers have now provided a much finer characterization of the distributions of entanglement in multi-qubit systems than previously available. These findings can be used in quantum cryptography to estimate the quantity of information an eavesdropper can capture regarding the secret encryption key. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190128101120.htm

Manipulating cell networks with light: New frontiers in optical microscopy

A new optical microscope system called SIFOM (Stimulation and Imaging-based Functional Optical Microscopy) can stimulate multiple cells simultaneously by a holographic method and monitor cell activity after the stimulation using 3D (three-dimensional) measurements based on fluorescence holography. This system has potential applications as a tool for the reconstruction of lost nerve pathways, constructing artificial neural networks, and food resources development. from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190128091447.htm

Environmental protection in outer space?

Should regulations for environmental protection be valid beyond our solar system? Currently, extra-terrestrial forms of life are only deemed worth protecting if they can be scientifically investigated. But what about the numerous, presumably lifeless planets whose oxygen atmospheres open up the possibility of their settlement by terrestrial life forms? from Top Technology News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190124105326.htm

The helix, of DNA fame, may have arisen with startling ease

Here's a science enigma: Try to explain where the neat, even DNA/RNA helix came from. Ha! Easy one! It probably spun around itself long before first life evolved like it did in a lab. In fact, the twist could have helped select the components of RNA, not the other way around. from All Top News -- ScienceDaily https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2019/01/190124095112.htm
