Wireless connectivity and 5G are transforming the way we live and work, but what does it take to integrate these technologies? I spoke to Bruno Tomas, CTO of the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), to get his insights on convergence, collaboration, and the road ahead. Q: Bruno, could you start by sharing a bit about your background and your role at the WBA? Bruno: Absolutely. I’m an engineer by training, with degrees in electrical and computer engineering, as well as a master’s in telecom systems. I started my career with Portugal Telecom and later worked in Brazil, focusing on network standards.…

An ASUS Live Update vulnerability tracked as CVE-2025-59374 has been making the rounds in infosec feeds, with some headlines implying recent or ongoing exploitation. The CVE documents a historic supply-chain attack in an End-of-Life (EoL) software product, not a newly emerging threat. Not all CISA KEVs signal urgency Recent coverage of CVE-2025-59374 has framed the issue as a newly relevant security risk following its addition to CISA’s Known Exploited Vulnerabilities (KEV) catalog. A closer look, however, shows the reality is much more nuanced. The CVE documents the 2018-2019 “ShadowHammer” supply-chain attack, in which maliciously modified ASUS Live Update binaries were…

We created a comprehensive inverter size chart to help you select the correct inverter to power your appliances. The need for an inverter size chart first became apparent when researching our DIY solar generator build. Solar generators range in size from small generators for short camping trips to large off-grid power systems for a boat or house. Consequently, inverter sizes vary greatly. During our research, we discovered that most inverters range in size from 300 watts up to over 3000 watts. In this article, we guide you through the different inverter sizes. Additionally, you’ll learn what appliances you can power…

Published on: July 2, 2025On iOS 26 we have lots of new ways to reimagine our UIs with Liquid Glass. This means that we can take a look at Apple’s built-in applications and find interesting applications of Liquid Glass that we can use to enhance our understanding of how Liquid Glass components can be built, and to understand what Apple considers to be good practice for Liquid Glass interfaces.In this post, we’re going to replicate a control that’s part of the new maps app.It’s a vertical stack of two buttons in a single Liquid Glass container. Here’s what the component…

Imagine, for a moment, that we’re stepping back five years into the past. Digital twin was just a buzzword. BIM (building information modeling), while discussed for decades, was only just beginning to gain any meaningful traction. Now, here we are today, witnessing an extraordinary rise in all these technologies—and what’s even more exciting is all this momentum will certainly drive new applications and transform business models unlike anything we have ever witnessed before. Now we can confidently say we find ourselves at a thrilling crossroads of technological growth poised to shape the next five years with promising unprecedented transformation. The…

There is an ever-expanding demand for inexpensive, rapid and reliable diagnostic sensor to simultaneously and accurately detect various biomarkers of clinical significance in human biofluids. Emergence of the powerful metallic nanozymes is the epitome of next-generation biomarker detection field. Such that in the past 7 years, researchers are fully leveraging their distinctive electrocatalytic features and versatility within multimodal and multiplexed detection systems. Multiplexed detection in a biosensor is substantial to diagnose diseases with numerous biomarkers through a small amount of biofluids.Multimodal readouts that combine various methods leads to enhance accuracy, sensitivity, cross-validation and real-time analysis of the targeted biomarkers. All…

Software as a Service (SaaS) and Software as a Product (SaaP) are two distinct software delivery models that businesses can choose from.  SaaS refers to a cloud-based software model where users access applications over the internet on a subscription basis. On the other hand, SaaP involves purchasing software licenses installed locally on the user’s hardware. The alternative between SaaS and SaaP can have crucial significance for businesses in terms of ownership, deployment, cost, and customization. Knowing these models and their variations is essential to make an informed conclusion that aligns with your particular requirements. Key differences between SaaS and SaaP SaaS and Saap models differ as the below- Deployment and…

IEEE Spectrum’s most popular biomedical stories of the last year centered both on incorporating new technologies and revamping old ones. While AI is all the rage in most sectors—including biomed, with applications like an in-brain warning system for worsening mental health and a model to estimate heart rate in real time—biomedical news this past year has also focused on legacy technologies. Tech like Wi-Fi, ultrasound, and lasers have all made comebacks or found new uses in 2025.Whether innovation stems from new tech or old, IEEE Spectrum will continue to cover it rigorously in 2026. Georgia Institute of Technology, Icahn School…

A smartphone is all but a necessity in today’s digital world, and getting the phone that’s right for you is critical. Competition between phone makers is fiercer than ever, especially at the premium end of the market. Ultimately, that’s great news for consumers, but with so many mobile phones available, each differentiated by their software, feature set, and price point, there can also be a sense of uncertainty in choosing your perfect handset. Tech Advisor’s team of editors lives and breathes phones every day. We perform in-depth testing for all the top models from the likes of Samsung, Google, Apple,…
