Loudspeakers may aid coral restoration
Researchers at the University of Exeter found that playing the sounds of a healthy coral reef on loudspeakers placed near damaged reefs has a real impact on the amount of fish that choose to settle there. The study found that the number of fish was doubled, while species diversity also increased by half, providing a unique new method for coral reef restoration efforts.

A quantum physicist invented a new code from old tricks
Dr. Benjamin Brown from the School of Physics has developed a type of error-correcting code for quantum computers that will free up more hardware to do useful calculations. "Because quantum information is so fragile, it produces a lot of errors," said Dr. Brown, a research fellow at the University of Sydney Nano Institute.

US astronomers find cosmic missing link black hole
A team of astronomers led by Dr. Dacheng Lin at the University of New Hampshire in Durham believes it has discovered evidence for a particularly elusive kind of black hole that may be a missing link to a wider understanding of these mysterious bodies. Lin's team used the Hubble telescope along with two X-ray measurements to observe what is called an intermediate-mass black hole.

Scientists discover fish migration route 4500 ft below sea level
A recently concluded study from a large number of collaborating groups in universities around the world has photographed evidence of a deep-sea fish migration route that was first theorized to exist when scientists noticed that deep-sea fish populations exhibited seasonal patterns. While the exact route is still unclear, scientists have managed to prove that the migration route exists 4,500 feet below sea level in the Atlantic Ocean.

Malaria medication could be a cure for coronavirus, research finds
Researchers led by infectious disease expert Didier Raoult have found that the drug hydroxychloroquine, used in the treatment of malaria, could potentially be a cure for the novel coronavirus, with a lab experiment involving 26 patients revealing more than 50 percent of coronavirus-positive patients tested negative for COVID-19 after a week of treatment with hydroxychloroquine.
