Next-Gen Bioelectronic Materials Flexible and stretchable electronics have brought medical devices into much closer mechanical alignment with soft tissue. But there is still a basic mismatch: most bioelectronic materials are chosen for how well they conduct electricity or fit into microfabrication workflows, not for how well they behave like biology.…

Sonar releases tools to verify code in agentic development Following the recent launch of Sonar’s framework for software development in the age of AI, the Agent Centric Development Cycle,  the company has announced the open beta of three new products to autonomously verify code in agent-driven development. AI agent coding are reinventing the way software is built, generating massive amounts of code at a breakneck speed. But testing and verification have begun to become bottlenecks to software delivery. To meet that gap, Sonar has taken a new approach to AI code trust and verification, based on guidance, verification and resolution.…

Every year around April 1st, we like to have a little fun. But as with most good humor, there’s usually a grain of truth underneath it. After working with thousands of teams and leaders over the years, one thing has become very clear: agile rarely succeeds or fails because of a framework. It succeeds or fails because of leadership behavior under pressure. When deadlines tighten…. When scope grows…. When velocity dips…. When stakeholders ask uncomfortable questions… Patterns emerge. Some leaders protect the outcome.Some protect the date.Some protect the process.Some protect momentum. None of these are “good” or “bad.” They’re instincts.…

Esri Ireland, the market leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), has announced that its ArcGIS technology is helping to power increased public safety for Northern Ireland Electricity Networks (NIE Networks). Esri has fully automated a map requesting process which enables citizens and contractors to determine the proximity of electricity infrastructure to building or renovation sites. NIE Networks, which serves over 966,000 customers across Northern Ireland, has a responsibility to supply contractors and members of the public with these maps when planning excavation works. This is vital to avoid accidental cable strikes that could cause power outages. Every year, NIE Networks…

BDx Data Centers has obtained a US$320 million loan from a consortium led by three Indonesian banks – Bank Permata, BCA and KB Bank – to finance ongoing developments at the company’s facilities in Indonesia.Proceeds from the loan will fund the continued development of BDx’s AI-focused data center campus in Jakarta, which opened last September. This purpose-built facility is designed to support the advanced, power-intensive AI workloads that companies and hyperscalers are adopting. It is one of the first data center campuses in Indonesia to deploy liquid cooling technology.In a statement on Wednesday, the Singapore-based data center operator also revealed…

In this article, you will learn how to implement state-managed interruptions in LangGraph so an agent workflow can pause for human approval before resuming execution. Topics we will cover include: What state-managed interruptions are and why they matter in agentic AI systems. How to define a simple LangGraph workflow with a shared agent state and executable nodes. How to pause execution, update the saved state with human approval, and resume the workflow. Read on for all the info. Building a ‘Human-in-the-Loop’ Approval Gate for Autonomous AgentsImage by Editor Introduction In agentic AI systems, when an agent’s execution pipeline is intentionally…

In our previous blog, we introduced Lakebase, the third-generation database architecture that fundamentally separates storage and compute. In this blog, we explore a critical consequence of this shift: how are AI agents changing the software development lifecycle, and what kind of databases do AI agents actually need?The software development lifecycle is undergoing a radical transformation. LLMs have enabled a new generation of agentic frameworks that can analyze requirements, write code, execute tests, deploy services, and iteratively refine applications, all at record speed. As a result, the marginal cost of building and deploying applications is plummeting.Even though we are still at the…

Almost every organisation running cloud-native systems has been hit by a security incident in the past year. The causes are less dramatic than the frequency suggests, according to Red Hat’s 2026 State of Cloud-Native Security Report, published on March 24. It states that 97% of organisations reported at least one cloud-native security incident over the previous 12 months.As per the report’s findings, misconfigured infrastructure or services were the most commonly reported incident type at 78%, followed by known vulnerabilities and unauthorised access. These are not sophisticated, hard-to-anticipate attacks but execution failures – recurring and costly.The report’s sharpest finding is the…

The U.S. Justice Department joined authorities in Canada and Germany in dismantling the online infrastructure behind four highly disruptive botnets that compromised more than three million Internet of Things (IoT) devices, such as routers and web cameras. The feds say the four botnets — named Aisuru, Kimwolf, JackSkid and Mossad — are responsible for a series of recent record-smashing distributed denial-of-service (DDoS) attacks capable of knocking nearly any target offline.

The Justice Department said the Department of Defense Office of Inspector General’s (DoDIG) Defense Criminal Investigative Service (DCIS) executed seizure warrants targeting multiple U.S.-registered domains, virtual servers,…

Canada should ensure its ‘project of national interest’ designation is helping build competitive clean industries, not just individual projects, starting with four key focus areas, according to a new report from the One Canadian Clean Economy Task Force. These focus areas—clean electricity transmission, critical minerals refining, electric vehicle charging, and sustainable modular homebuilding—present opportunities to draw out the greatest possible value from our natural resources, build high-productivity industries, expand export opportunities, and leverage our domestic market. The task force’s new report, Connecting the Dots, also highlights potential ‘projects of national interest’ within these four sectors that could be realized in…
