According to a new report from Korea, Samsung’s successor to the Galaxy Ring is coming next year. The Galaxy Ring launched back in 2024, so this means it will have almost three years on the market before it’s replaced – a rarity these days in the tech world, where every product seems to be on a yearly refresh cycle or, in some cases, maybe a two-year cycle. The report in question says the Ring 2 is coming early next year, so it may be unveiled alongside the Galaxy S27 family. For the Galaxy Ring 2, Samsung is allegedly focusing on…
New simulations and ultraclean films reveal the clearest picture yet of polaron transport in TiO₂ Solar panel material layers schematic (Courtesy: Shutterstock/Laremenko Sergii) Complex oxide materials form a large family of compounds with highly tuneable electronic properties, making them important for electronics, magnetic devices, and energy technologies. In many of these materials, electrons interact strongly with lattice vibrations and form polarons, quasiparticles consisting of an electron plus the surrounding lattice distortion. Polarons play a key role in determining how materials conduct electricity, but they are difficult to study because theoretical modelling requires advanced methods to describe strong electron-lattice interactions characteristic…
A Norwegian researcher has identified an issue with Microsoft Edge’s Password Manager that could be a serious concern for businesses. Tom Jøran Sønstebyseter Rønning found that passwords are being saved within the browser in plain text, with the effect that any PC, particularly a shared machine, within an organization is a potential risk. In a post on X, Rønning explained that when users save passwords in Edge, the browser decrypts every credential at startup and keeps it resident in process memory, regardless of whether the user visits the site. Rønning’s finding was replicated by German IT publication Heise.de, which created and…
Our reporter Michelle Kim, who also happens to be a lawyer, has been in court each day, and has broken down the first week’s key moments in her latest report. In a new Q&A, she also reveals what it was like in the room, the new details that have emerged about how Musk and OpenAI operate—and what we can expect from this week’s proceedings. Find out what she’s discovered so far, and if you want to keep up with MIT Technology Review’s ongoing coverage of the Musk v. Altman trial, follow @techreview or @michelletomkim on X. —James O’Donnell This story…

When a major cyber incident hits, the first decisions aren’t technical—they’re human. Who takes the lead? How quickly can information be shared? When should governments step in, and how do you protect public trust while keeping essential services running? These questions are at the heart of Microsoft’s Advancing Regional Cybersecurity (ARC) initiative, launched in 2025 to help governments strengthen cyber preparedness through practical, public-private collaboration. Today, we’re sharing the first tangible output of that work: the ARC Kenya Exercise Report & Toolkit, developed through a tabletop exercise held in Nairobi in December 2025. Developed with Kenya’s National Computer and Cybercrime Coordination Committee (NC4) and RiskSight, the toolkit is a practical planning resource designed…
Something that we have written a lot about at Smart Data Collective is how modern companies depend on structured databases like MySQL to store and analyze growing volumes of information. It is clear that when these systems fail due to unexpected shutdowns, the ripple effects can disrupt operations, delay decisions, and even lead to permanent data loss.Why MySQL Downtime Can Put Data-Driven Businesses at RiskMethods to Repair Crashed MySQL Tables after System ShutdownA report by Naveen Kumar of DemandSage reports that around 97% of businesses use big data, showing just how widespread database reliance has become. Something that stands out…
AI red teaming is easier to understand when you run it yourself AI security can sound abstract until you point a scanner at a real endpoint and watch what happens. A model may answer normal user prompts perfectly well, but still behave differently when a conversation becomes adversarial. A support assistant may follow its public instructions, but still have hidden rules that should never be exposed. An agentic workflow may look safe in a demo, but become harder to predict once tools, frameworks, and permissions are involved. That is why red teaming belongs earlier in the AI development process. Builders…
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will ban data broker Kochava and its subsidiary Collective Data Solutions (CDS) from selling location data without consumers’ explicit consent to settle charges brought nearly four years ago. The FTC sued Idaho-based Kochava in August 2022, alleging it collected and sold precise geolocation data from hundreds of millions of mobile devices. This information allowed Kochava’s clients to track the mobile users’ movements to and from sensitive locations, including mental health and addiction recovery facilities, reproductive health clinics, places of worship, and shelters for the homeless and domestic violence survivors. According to the complaint, the company…
Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. A CleanTechnica reader wrote a comment on one of my articles about a small EV charger installation asking why bother writing about such a small development. Well, the answer is because every new public EV charger that is installed matters, and every installation is a success story. Every EV charger installed means, at some point, gas stations begin to shutter as fully electric vehicles replace gas and diesel vehicles. At the same time, there are large and medium-sized EV charger installations happening. This one in Philadelphia happens to be a…
