SCI & TECHOct 7Apple’s Verified Photography SystemApple just released a system called “Reference Image.” It can verify the image is exactly as taken by an iPhone—new models only—without tying it to a specific iPhone or photographer. It can also verify that multiple images came from the same iPhone. Other industry solutions require a photographer or institution to vouch for an image using their own credentials. We are concerned this puts some photographers, such as those operating in conflict zones, in a difficult position; it should not be necessary to forgo anonymity in order to prove image authenticity.

SCI & TECHOct 7Nobel Prize in Chemistry for research into mirrored moleculesDe Nobelprijs voor Scheikunde gaat naar de Fransman Henri Kagan en de Japanner Kenso Soai. Zij deden onderzoek naar de ontdekking van "niet-lineaire effecten en autokatalyse in asymmetrische organische synthese". In iets begrijpelijker Nederlands: sommige moleculen bestaan in twee varianten, die elkaars spiegelbeeld zijn. Als moleculen de ene kant op gedraaid staan, kunnen ze een andere werking hebben dan als ze de andere kant op gedraaid staan. En dat terwijl ze dezelfde samenstelling hebben. Wetenschappers noemen dat linkshandig en rechtshandig. Zo is er het voorbeeld van een hoestremmer, diNOS Buitenland

SCI & TECHOct 7'Phoenix Planet' discovered, formed from the remains of a dead starBritse astronomen hebben een nieuw soort hemellichaam ontdekt: een planeet die draait rond een uitgebrande ster. De ontdekkers noemen het een feniksplaneet, naar de mythologische vogel die oprijst uit zijn eigen as. De ontdekking kan meer vertellen over de verre toekomst van ons eigen zonnestelsel. Wetenschappers van de universiteit van Warwick beschrijven in het vakblad Nature Astronomy hun ontdekking bij de ster HS 0209+0832, in het sterrenbeeld Walvis. Dat is een witte dwerg, zo'n 250 lichtjaar van de aarde. Een witte dwerg is wat er overblijft als een ster aan het eind van zijn bestaan zijNOS Buitenland
