When electricity moves through wires, some of its energy is lost along the way. That loss, however, might not be inevitable. Researchers at Penn State have developed a new way to identify materials known as superconductors — substances that can carry electric current with zero resistance, meaning no energy is wasted during transmission. The Challenge of Cold Superconductors Despite their promise, most superconducting materials cannot yet be used in everyday technology. Their extraordinary ability to conduct electricity only appears at extremely low temperatures, far below what is practical for energy systems or advanced electronics. Supported by the “Theory of Condensed…
The ability to download media on the internet almost feels like a lost art. When I was in my teens, piracy of mp3s, movies, and just about everything else via torrents and apps like Kazaa, LimeWire, Napster, etc. was in full swing. These days sites use blob URLs and other means to prevent downloads. Luckily we have tools like yt-dlp to download individual YouTube videos or entire channels of content. To download an entire channel, you can use yt-dlp: yt-dlp If you’re like me and only care for the audio, you can use a few more arguments: yt-dlp -x –audio-format…
From early 2022 through late 2024, a group of threat actors publicly known as APT28 exploited known vulnerabilities, such as CVE-2022-38028, to remotely and wirelessly access sensitive information from a targeted company network. The attack first compromised less secure Wi-Fi networks of multiple organizations that were in close physical proximity to the intended target. This incident brings to light the critical role that software plays in the security of modern-day wireless communication systems, both military and civilian. This attack did not require any hardware to be placed in the vicinity of the targeted company’s network as the attackers were able…
Court records have revealed that a key witness has been arrested in the high-profile illicit gambling case involving Osceola County Sheriff Marcos Lopez. Krishna Kumar Deokaran was apprehended on October 6 by Lake County officers to face a charge of money laundering. The 50-year-old is alleged to have committed the acts between January and May 2024 across three Florida counties. No further specifics have been divulged, but it is a notable update as Deokaran is one of the key witnesses in the overall case against the suspended Sheriff Marcos Lopez. His involvement and status could directly impact the broader case…
We look at the new Pixel Buds 2a, see more about them here. New Pixel Buds 2a, reviewed Out of the box our testers liked a few things about the earbuds, in a way that they felt that perhaps the manufacturers had responded to user feedback. Our team quickly noticed that the charging box was back to a smaller more snug size. They quickly pulled out the last iteration, larger, and then the ones before that, smaller, which they felt was better, more mobile and less obtrusive. Similarly they pointed out that some degree of an ear clip was now…
Enterprise tech is cross-platform These days, you’ll just as easily find Macs in use beside Windows, Android devices, and iPhones in the office, so both IT and purchasing recognize it sometimes makes sense to source management tools that provide support across all of those platforms. There’s two reasons for that: it reduces overhead (more systems = more cost) and it boosts productivity (one console to rule them all). That’s not going to suit everyone, of course. Some businesses are already all-in on Apple, and want best-in-class services ready to support all that’s new in that ecosystem. Others prefer specific tools for specific…
It’s the season of the witch – and the serial killer, and the stalker, and the thing lurking in the basement. If you’re hosting this Halloween, or if you’re staying in to handy out mini chocolate bars to hordes of tiny Wednesday Addams and Minecraft Steves, you won’t have to spend a penny on your own entertainment, as we’ve rounded up the best free horror films to stream this Halloween in the UK. We’ve picked options to watch with your family, with a group of friends, and found scary options for solo watching too. Bear in mind that if you…

PLAID is a multimodal generative model that simultaneously generates protein 1D sequence and 3D structure, by learning the latent space of protein folding models. The awarding of the 2024 Nobel Prize to AlphaFold2 marks an important moment of recognition for the of AI role in biology. What comes next after protein folding? In PLAID, we develop a method that learns to sample from the latent space of protein folding models to generate new proteins. It can accept compositional function and organism prompts, and can be trained on sequence databases, which are 2-4 orders of magnitude larger than structure databases. Unlike…
