ESA’s Juice just used Earth as a slingshot to Jupiter
ESA’s Juice spacecraft raced past Earth on September 28, using our planet’s gravity to dramatically reshape its path toward Jupiter without burning much fuel. The flyby changed its direction by 20 degrees and increased its speed by 3.5 km/s, while also giving…
Apple changes full-disk access permissions to curb abuse from AI agents
Meta says FDA isn't sufficient to Muse reading messages. Apple begs to differ.
Chang’e-6 lunar soil contains a surprising magnetic time capsule
Scientists studying Chang’e-6 lunar soil have discovered a previously unknown magnetic mineral in natural Moon samples: a form of metallic iron called γ-Fe. Found inside tiny impact-glass particles, the nanoscale iron can preserve a stable magnetic signal…
Hacks of 2 federal agencies in a month have spilled a bonanza of sensitive data
It has been a bad month for federal government cybersecurity.
Powerful simulations reveal how the first stars changed the universe
Ultra-detailed simulations are showing how the first stars lit up the dark Universe and seeded space with elements such as carbon, oxygen, and iron. The MEGATRON project could bridge JWST observations of the earliest galaxies with chemical clues preserved in…
Memory executives expect RAM shortage to continue through 2028
Prices for memory sold for 2027 "are much higher than 2026 prices."
Scientists just made a superconductor stronger using “empty space”
Researchers have demonstrated that quantum fluctuations in supposedly empty space can strengthen superconductivity, raising the transition temperature of an ultrathin material by as much as 5.4%. The discovery opens the possibility of using specially…
Attackers have been exploiting critical Zimbra flaw to steal emails
A simple email gives the attackers the ability to remotely inject OS commands.
NASA’s Roman telescope just opened its planet-hunting eye
NASA’s Roman Space Telescope has demonstrated remarkable pointing stability and given its powerful planet-imaging coronagraph its first look at the cosmos. The telescope can already stay locked on a target with precision comparable to aiming a laser at a dime…
Cloudflare plans to issue quantum-safe TLS certificates
The move will be part of a major overhaul of the ecosystem for website authentication.
The early universe wasn’t nearly as pristine as scientists thought
JWST has revealed that galaxies were spreading carbon, oxygen, and other heavy elements through space just 500 million years after the Big Bang. The surprising discovery suggests the young universe became chemically enriched much earlier than expected…
Your uncle’s frozen Mac says it’s infected after viewing a Google ad. Now what?
Ads appearing all over the Internet are trying to scam people.
Scientists just pushed superconductors beyond their usual current limit
Ultrashort electrical pulses allowed scientists to push superconductors closer than ever to the point where their electron pairs actually break apart. The method revealed hidden differences between superconducting materials and could open new ways to probe…
There's a new way to break RSA that's faster than anything we've seen before
Until now, cryptographers thought factoring was the only way to break RSA. Not anymore.
Electrons slow to a crawl in a strange new quantum state
Scientists at the University of Chicago have uncovered a surprising quantum state in the layered magnetic material Fe5GeTe2, where huge numbers of electrons move together unusually slowly while remaining quantum coherent. The behavior contradicts existing…
Microsoft disrupts AI-assisted platform that compromised 12,000 accounts
EvilTokens provided an end-to-end platform that makes mass compromises faster and easier.
This new qubit could be 100 times less error-prone in superfluid quantum computer breakthrough
A proposed qubit made with superfluid helium could cut quantum computing error rates by around 100 times by shielding quantum information from common forms of electromagnetic noise. If experiments confirm the predictions, the technology could eventually work…
IT mistake erases 11 years of viewing history for hospitals’ maternity records
The English hospitals recovered patient care data only.
