Cyberattack suspends large radio telescope in Chile, affecting research

A cyberattack has suspended computer systems of a large telescope with the world's leading performance in Chile, hampering observation by international astronomers for more than one month.

Japan is one of the operators of the huge radio telescope known as ALMA. It has contributed about a quarter of the overall facility plan. The National Astronomical Observatory of Japan says ALMA suffered a cyberattack on its system on October 29, leaving astronomical observations suspended even now.

Research: Antibodies Last In 98% Of Infected

Research: Antibodies last in 98% of infected

Japanese researchers say they've found in a study that 98 percent of people who were infected with the coronavirus had antibodies for at least six months. The researchers say this shows that such people are less likely to be infected again during the period.

Yokohama City University and other institutions conducted the study to find out what percentage of people maintain neutralizing antibodies.
