A fluidic memristor that heats itself to form and clear nanoscale salt blockages could bring ionic hardware closer to the dynamic learning and memory functions of biological neural systems. Paper: Self-heating-induced blocking in nanopores enables neuromorphic ionic computing. Image credit: AI-generated image created using ChatGPT/OpenAI  In a recent ‘article in press’ in the journal Nature Communications, researchers report the development of a self-heating-induced blocking memristor (SIBM) based on nanopores that enables neuromorphic ionic computing by leveraging thermally triggered precipitation and electric-field-driven precipitate clearance for resistive switching. Ionic Neuromorphic Computing Rationale Neuromorphic computing aims to emulate the brain’s efficient information processing using…

“National security is the proposal’s accelerator in Washington and its poison pill abroad: the framing that opens the only gate available at home invites foreign capitals to read the institution as an instrument of American strategy,” he pointed out. “The map is already plural,” he said. “Brussels switches on enforcement powers over general-purpose models [starting in August 2026], London runs the AI Security Institute, and Beijing licenses on its own terms. California and New York have legislated for frontier models at home. The durable route is shared technical evidence with sovereign enforcement, sealed through mutual recognition rather than deference, with…

As if we needed one more thing to worry about so soon after the hantavirus scare, there is a new public health threat for Americans to contend with: a rapidly escalating outbreak of, of all things, diarrhea.It’s a parasite-borne illness called cyclosporiasis. It can cause explosive and watery bowel movements — and it is wreaking havoc across the United States this summer.How bad exactly? As of July 15, Michigan’s health department is reporting 3,762 cyclosporiasis cases, up from 1,500 late last week. Forty-four people have been hospitalized as of July 9. To put that number in context, the state normally…

… government of the people, by the people, for the people …    — Abraham Lincoln, Gettysburg Address (1863) The cost of AI is dropping rapidly. GPT-4-class capabilities cost roughly $30 per million tokens in early 2023; today the same runs under $1, and some providers are pushing costs below $0.10. Across benchmarks, inference prices have fallen between 9x and 900x per year, with a median decline near 50x. Even frontier models are getting dramatically cheaper each generation, with open-source models following closely behind. And crucially, even if “Nobel-Prize-winning genius-level” intelligence isn’t here yet, the intelligence that suffices for the vast majority…

We recently announced Genie One, the data-smart AI coworker for business users. Today, we’ll dive into how business users can access Genie from anywhere using the Genie One mobile apps for iOS and Android.In many industries, business decisions happen away from the desk. Retail associates need inventory data on the floor, field teams need insights onsite, and leaders need to answer questions on the move in between meetings. Too often, this means writing down a question with little context and hoping to remember later, hurrying to a laptop at inconvenient times, or forgetting the question altogether and moving on.Genie One…

As the shape, speed, and scale of network traffic changes, our customers realize that their networks must rapidly accommodate more applications, more agents, more encrypted flows, more data movement, and more pressure on every enforcement point. For example, in data published by a major CDN provider, agentic AI bots generate over half of all web requests, and more than half of human internet traffic is now post-quantum encrypted. In response to an era that brings unprecedented demand to the network, we built an unprecedented firewall. In independent testing with NetSecOPEN, the Cisco Secure Firewall 6160 delivered AI-scale inspected throughput beyond…

For midsize businesses, wireless has become mission critical—but the teams managing it are often stretched thin. Growing organizations are expected to deliver the same always-on digital experiences as large enterprises. The difference is they usually have to do it with fewer resources. That makes wireless more than an infrastructure conversation. It’s a business resilience conversation, and increasingly, it’s also a career conversation. Wireless responsibilities carry the perception of being reactive, troubleshooting-heavy, and under-recognized. When the network works, few people notice. When it fails, everyone notices immediately. That dynamic can make wireless feel like a role defined by tickets, escalations, and…

The future of construction depends on the industry rethinking how we build the workforce that will construct the homes, buildings, cities, and infrastructure of tomorrow. As we move closer to the year 2030, the industry’s greatest competitive advantage won’t just be AI (artificial intelligence), automation, or robotics. It will be people with the skills to work alongside these technologies. Throughout the past several years, we have watched AI and automation move from experimentation to implementation. In the construction industry, AI is already helping monitor jobsites, optimize schedules, identify safety risks, and improve project outcomes. But AI is not replacing construction…

Samsung Electronics today unveiled new Flex Titanium technology for the next generation of Galaxy foldable devices. Built on seven generations of foldable innovation and engineering expertise, the redesigned display structure utilizes structural and material advancements to deliver a more refined viewing experience with enhanced durability and reduced crease visibility. Made possible thanks to Samsung’s accumulated display know-how, Flex Titanium technology integrates two titanium-based components — a titanium-alloy film and a titanium plate — working together to balance slimness, flexibility and strength within the foldable display structure. “Samsung’s strength in the foldable category comes from connecting user needs with our technologies…

AI agents have transformed how software gets written, but the operational side of running software in production has not yet experienced a similar revolution. The same teams responsible for keeping systems healthy, investigating incidents, and managing reliability are still doing much of that work manually. Mezmo is a Production AI company that makes autonomous operations fast, efficient, and safe. Their open source project, AURA, is a declarative agent framework specifically designed for SRE and platform engineering workflows. It takes a Kubernetes-inspired approach where teams define what they want agents to do rather than scripting every step of how to do…
