Researchers have developed a new way to model dephasing in attosecond experiments Artistic impression of light-matter interaction and the many complex processes that follow (Courtesy: iStock/Sakkmersterke) Attosecond science is undoubtedly one of the fastest growing branches of physics today. Its popularity was demonstrated by the award of the 2023 Nobel Prize in Physics to Anne L’Huillier, Paul Corkum and Ferenc Krausz for experimental methods that generate attosecond pulses of light for the study of electron dynamics in matter. One of the most important processes in this field is dephasing. This happens when an electron loses its phase coherence because of interactions with its…

Despite companies wanting to implement AI and reap the benefits of it, a majority don’t have the underlying foundations in place to make it work well. According to CData’s latest report, The State of AI Data Connectivity: 2026 Outlook, there is a clear link between data infrastructure maturity and AI maturity. The report found that 60% of the companies who have achieved AI maturity had invested in advanced data infrastructure, such as centralized, semantically consistent integration layers. One hundred percent of respondents agree that access to real-time data is necessary for AI agents, but 20% still lack real-time integration capabilities.…

When AI systems were just a single model behind an API, life felt simpler. You trained, deployed, and maybe fine-tuned a few hyperparameters.But that world’s gone. Today, AI feels less like a single engine and more like a busy city—a network of small, specialized agents constantly talking to each other, calling APIs, automating workflows, and making decisions faster than humans can even follow.And here’s the real challenge: The smarter and more independent these agents get, the harder it becomes to stay in control. Performance isn’t what slows us down anymore. Governance is.How do we make sure these agents act ethically,…

(Bloomberg $)+ Here’s how DeepSeek slashes its models’ computational burden. (VentureBeat)+ It’s achieved these results despite its limited access to powerful chips. (SCMP $)2 OpenAI has issued a “code red” warning to its employeesIt’s a call to arms to improve ChatGPT, or risk being overtaken. (The Information $)+ Both Google and Anthropic are snapping at OpenAI’s heels. (FT $)+ Advertising and other initiatives will be pushed back to accommodate the…

At the Black Hat Europe conference in December, I sat down with one of our senior security analysts, Paul Stringfellow. In this first part of our conversation we discuss the complexity of navigating cybersecurity tools, and defining relevant metrics to measure ROI and risk. Jon: Paul, how does an end-user organization make sense of everything going on? We’re here at Black Hat, and there’s a wealth of different technologies, options, topics, and categories. In our research, there are 30-50 different security topics: posture management, service management, asset management, SIEM, SOAR, EDR, XDR, and so on. However, from an end-user organization…

The GovWare Security Operations Centre is a collaborative initiative with Cisco for GovWare Conference and Exhibition 2025 — GovWare 2025 Security Operations Centre Following the successful Security Operations Centre (SOC) deployments at RSAC 2025, Black Hat Asia, and Cisco Live San Diego 2025, the Cisco ASEAN executive team approved the inaugural SOC for GovWare. This initiative required close collaboration with GovWare, Image Engine, and the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) Network Operations Center (NOC) to establish a secure conference network for attendees, with security provided by the SOC. The SOC was founded on three primary missions: To Protect — Ensure the…

ESET researchers have identified new MuddyWater activity primarily targeting organizations in Israel, with one confirmed target in Egypt. MuddyWater, also referred to as Mango Sandstorm or TA450, is an Iran-aligned cyberespionage group known for its persistent targeting of government and critical infrastructure sectors, often leveraging custom malware and publicly available tools. In this campaign, the attackers deployed a set of previously undocumented, custom tools with the objective of improving defense evasion and persistence. Among these tools is a custom Fooder loader designed to execute MuddyViper, a C/C++ backdoor. Several versions of Fooder masquerade as the classic Snake game, and its…

Source: unsplash   The transition to renewable energy is a loud, pressing imperative. With climate change breathing down humanity’s neck, energy generation methods have leaped to the forefront of global priorities. Fossil fuels have long dominated the industry, but their expiration date is quickly arriving. Enter renewable energy—a direct response and audacious alternative to our carbon-rich past.   The Current State of Energy Even as advocacy for sustainable energy intensifies, fossil fuels continue to dominate the global energy mix. Over 80% of the world’s primary energy demand is satisfied by coal, oil, and natural gas, mainstays of a century-old model. Yet,…
