Nothing is launching the Phone (4b) on July 7, and it’s going to be powered by a Snapdragon chipset according to the company. Now, Nothing has also revealed that there will be an RCB Edition of the device, developed in partnership with the Royal Challengers Bengaluru cricket team. The collaboration isn’t very surprising considering the fact that Nothing is a sponsor of the team. As you can see in the Instagram post above, the RCB players picked between two designs for the RCB Edition, and only one was chosen, but it’s not clear which one – the players seem to…
OCSiAl, the global leader in the industrial production of single wall carbon nanotubes, has been named as a supplier to PowerCo, the battery manufacturing subsidiary of Volkswagen Group, for its Unified Cell battery platform. Image Credit: OCSiAl “Today, batteries containing OCSiAl nanotubes power around one million electric vehicles worldwide. In the PowerCo project, we supply nanotube solutions for graphite anodes,” said Gregory Gurevich, Senior Vice President at OCSiAl. “Single wall carbon nanotubes significantly enhance the electrical conductivity of graphite anodes and improve heat dissipation, enabling battery cells to operate at higher charging and discharging currents without overheating. These advanced conductive…
At the recent Future Health Summit which was held in Dublin, Nordic Europe delivered a special presentation on why Ireland has reached a pivotal moment in patient safety, with medication related harm responsible for around 50% of preventable harm globally. To find out more about this I spoke to Nordic Europe’s Vice President of Strategy and Transformation Bill Meredith, and their Vice President of Strategy & Country Manager for Ireland Claire Staple. Bill and Claire spoke to me about their background, what Nordic does, digital transformation reshaping medication safety across Ireland and more. More about Nordic Europe: From technology to teams, Nordic provides…
A heat wave in Europe has broken June temperature records and is being blamed for dozens of deaths. Soaring temps are expected to hit the eastern US this week, and you’ll need to stay vigilant and protect yourself and your family from the heat.National Weather Service forecasters expect a long-lasting heat wave in the central to eastern US that will likely to last into the July 4 holiday weekend. Meteorologists are predicting temperatures in the 90s and low 100s Fahrenheit along with high humidity. That means heat indices near or above 105 to 110 degrees Fahrenheit. That means there will be…
Model context protocol (MCP) gives AI agents a standard way to connect to external tools, data, APIs, and workflows. While MCP increases the speed and consistency of agent development, it also changes the shape of enterprise AI risk. With MCP, agents can discover tools, interpret what those tools claim to do, decide when to invoke them, bind parameters, and use the results in the next step of a workflow. The connection is no longer just an integration point. It becomes part of the agent’s decision surface. This creates governance risks most enterprises aren’t built to manage yet. An MCP server…
The engineering department hates you right now. They really do. I sat in a meeting last Tuesday with a lead systems architect for a major SaaS company. He looked completely defeated. He pulled up his staging environment and pointed to a completely broken webpage. The CSS was completely shattered. The sidebar was floating in the middle of the screen. The footer text was massive.He looked at me and sighed. The marketing team had struck again.A junior marketer discovered a basic chat interface. They thought they had struck absolute gold. They generated a three thousand word guide on data architecture. They…
Microsoft has introduced the Microsoft Binlog MCP Server, which gives AI assistants like GitHub Copilot direct access to MSBuild (.binlog) files. The Model Context Protocol server enables AI-powered build investigation through natural language conversation, Microsoft said. Introduced June 17 and currently in a preview stage, the Microsoft Binlog MCP Server parses .binlog files and exposes 15 specialized tools that enable AI-driven diagnosis, property tracing, performance analysis, and build comparison. Microsoft said that AI assistants gain the ability to do the following: Investigate build failures by querying errors, warnings, and full project/target/task context Trace property origins to understand where a property got its value Analyze…
Leaked internal documents have revealed that for nearly a year Japan’s Ground Self-Defense Force (JGSDF) used counterfeit USB flash drives infected with malware on computers connected to sensitive military networks. The USB drives have been linked to Chinese hacking operations, according to an investigation by Nikkei Asia.Nikkei Asia reports that the poisoned flash drives were delivered to the JGSDF in March 2024, during disaster relief operations following an earthquake in central Japan. Via this route they were able to enter military use without having passed through standard procurement channels.The malware was discovered in February 2025, after personnel at JGSDF’s Middle…

Behind the scenes in today’s digital world, data centers power everything from AI-driven applications to the secure storage of vast amounts of sensitive information. As the foundation of modern business operations, data centers play a critical role in keeping services running smoothly, which makes them an increasingly attractive target of cyberattacks. As the advanced technologies of AI and quantum computing reshape the threat landscape, organizations have little choice except to modernize data center security to protect sensitive data and ensure operational continuity. Vulnerable, legacy infrastructure complexity Data center environments are becoming more complex (Figure 1). This increases the number of…
