US mobile’s Big Three of AT&T, T-Mobile and Verizon, along with SpaceX and EchoStar, were among the winning bidders of AWS-3 spectrum auction, according to results posted Friday by the FCC.The FCC revealed those winners three days after announcing that the AWS-3 auction – essentially a reauction of EchoStar/Dish holdings – drew winning bids exceeding $3.5 billion over 72 rounds. That was enough to ensure EchoStar was not on the hook to pay a penalty to the FCC if total bids fell below the $2.9 billion threshold.The strategies that the winning bidders will employ will vary by carrier and company,…
I’ve combed the internet to find you today’s most fun/important/scary/fascinating stories about technology. 1 The Trump administration has asked OpenAI to limit its next model releaseIt wants to vet the first GPT 5.6 users before a wider launch. (Bloomberg $)+ OpenAI said each of the initial partners will be government-approved. (FT $)+ It’s the first US firm to be told to restrict an AI model before release. (Axios)+ Anthropic is also still feuding with Washington. (MIT Technology Review)2 Apple and Xbox have hiked prices, blaming AI-driven chip costsSome MacBooks, iPads, and Xboxes are going up in price by over 20%.…
You’ve heard the warnings! Don’t tell ChatGPT your secrets. The robots are reading everything. Your data is the product. And yet here you are: using them as a subscriber. Because AI is genuinely useful! The good news: that distrust is healthy, and you don’t have to choose between using AI and protecting yourself. You can do both. You just need to know what happens to your words after you hit send, and which switches to flip. No technical background needed. By the end you’ll have a short checklist you can use to preserve your sanity (and identity) while using AI…
This post was authored by Aaryan Naithani, a software engineer intern on the Storage Team. I used to think asking too many questions would make me look unprepared. Ironically, not asking them slowed me down far more. Early in my internship, I found myself in unfamiliar territory. New tools, new systems, and a constant need for access, permissions, and guidance. Like most people starting out, I didn’t want to bother anyone. At the same time, I did not yet understand how to ask questions the right way. My first real learning moment came unexpectedly. I had a doubt about accessing an…
Ravie LakshmananJun 27, 2026Messaging Security / Cyber Espionage The Security Service of Ukraine (SSU) said it, together with the U.S. Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), uncovered a long-running campaign orchestrated by Russian intelligence services to break into the messaging accounts of government officials, military personnel, politicians, and activists in Ukraine, Europe, and the U.S. The systematic cyber attacks aimed at stealing sensitive information from the victims, the agency added. “The goal of these ‘hacks’ is to gain access to sensitive military, political, and economic information exchanged by users, as well as to steal their personal data,” the agency warned in…
Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. Cement decarbonization attracts miracle stories. One company has a new binder. Another has a carbon-negative aggregate. Someone else has an electrochemical process, a hydrogen kiln, a low-carbon limestone route, a supplementary cementitious material, a recycled cement process or a carbon-capture retrofit. Some of these ideas are useful. Some will become real niches. A few may become meaningful industrial wedges. But the sector will not be decarbonized by one magic cement. The first mistake is treating cement demand as fixed. Cement is not an end use. It is an input into…
It started with a bedtime problem. There’s a manuscript on my disk — a middle-grade fantasy a young writer in the house has been drafting. Fifteen chapters and a prologue, all in Markdown. The ask was simple and entirely reasonable: could it be a real PDF, the kind you can hold, with every chapter starting on a fresh page like a proper book? So I asked for exactly that. One sentence. A minute later there was a 152-page PDF, each chapter opening at the top of its own page, plus a little shell script I could re-run whenever the draft…
If Samsung Messages is still your default texting app, keep reading. The app is being deactivated for US users, and the texts, RCS conversations and message history sitting in it don’t automatically transfer anywhere. It’s all moving to Google Messages, and the migration is genuinely simple, but simple doesn’t mean automatic. The steps that preserve your text history are ones you have to take yourself, before the deadline, and the longer you wait, the more likely it is that something gets left behind.On a page with information about the switch, Samsung links to instructions on switching to Google’s Messages app, including…
Scott Kingsley, a VP of Engineering at SmartBear, speaks with host Gregory Kapfhammer about the Swagger ecosystem. They discuss the user interface, editor, and Swagger CodeGen and how these tools support the creation and documentation of OpenAPI-compatible APIs. Scott describes how Swagger fits into frameworks like FastAPI, as well as how Swagger APIs can be exposed through the Model Context Protocol (MCP). They discussion closes with best practices for designing and testing APIs and the role that APIs play in a landscape in which AI agents are building and interacting with APIs.

Nanoscience provides the conceptual and technological bridge necessary to unify physical and biological perspectives in mechanobiology. Mechanobiology is an interdisciplinary field that integrates principles from biology, physics, and engineering to characterize how mechanical forces regulate biological systems across scales, from molecular interactions to tissue and organ function. It focuses on establishing causal relationships between physical forces and biological responses, including the reciprocal feedback by which cells sense, transduce, and actively remodel their environment1,2. These insights underpin emerging mechanomedicine strategies that aim to target aberrant mechanotransduction pathways for diagnostics and therapeutic interventions3,4.
