With UK businesses facing volatile energy prices, ever-tightening sustainability targets and increasing regulatory pressure, energy wastage is no longer just a technical issue and it’s one that deserves C-suite level investment. Thankfully, making energy sustainability decisions has been made infinitely easier in recent years thanks to the introduction of smart metres that offer real-time visibility of consumption across electricity, gas and even water. This turns previously opaque overheads into actionable data. Rather than relying on manual reads and spreadsheet-driven assumptions, modern smart metering and monitoring platforms give a continuous, granular picture of what’s being used, where and when. Real-time insights…

Is your construction ERP still living in the past? For decades, construction ERP (enterprise-resource planning) systems served a clear purpose: managing financials and project controls. But as commercial contractors scale operations across multiple entities and projects, a new challenge has emerged. The documents, workflows, and approvals that drive daily execution have become just as critical as the financial data itself. The most significant shift in modern construction ERP isn’t happening in accounting modules or cost controls. It’s occurring in how these platforms handle content management, and it’s fundamentally changing how large contractors operate. Beyond Invoice Routing Most construction professionals recognize…

Ryan Haines / Android AuthorityI wouldn’t say I’m a photography purist (I shoot with a Fuji after all), but one thing that continues to draw me to using my mirrorless over all but the very best smartphone cameras is a more natural look to my pictures.It’s not that smartphones are bad by any stretch of the imagination; some smartphone cameras are absolutely brilliant. But take a closer look, and even the best handsets leave telltale signs of overprocessing; whether it’s oversharpened skin textures from the Pixel’s portrait mode or overly dark shadows in Apple’s HDR algorithm.You don’t have to take…

What if, instead of completely redesigning material composition, researchers could transform physical properties through tiny, nanoscale changes to shape? A new review tracks the progress of nano metamaterials in material design today. Study: Functional nano-architected mechanical metamaterials and devices. Image Credit: PJ_CYCLONE/Shutterstock.com Get all the details: Grab your PDF here! A recent review published in npj Metamaterials brings together a decade of research showing how nano-architected mechanical metamaterials are changing the way engineers think about strength, stiffness, and functionality. Now, instead of solely relying on chemical composition, fine-tuning nanoscale geometry can yield precisely designed architectures that unlock mechanical and multifunctional behavior…

Anyone is capable of having their caps lock key on at any given time without realizing so. Users can easily spot unwanted caps lock when typing in most inputs, but when using a password input, the problem isn’t so obvious. That leads to the user’s password being incorrect, which is an annoyance. Ideally developers could let the user know their caps lock key is activated. To detect if a user has their keyboard’s caps lock turn on, we’ll employ KeyboardEvent’s getModifierState method: document.querySelector(‘input[type=password]’).addEventListener(‘keyup’, function (keyboardEvent) { const capsLockOn = keyboardEvent.getModifierState(‘CapsLock’); if (capsLockOn) { // Warn the user that their caps…

As recently as December 2025, the SEI’s CERT Coordination Center (CERT/CC) documented a UEFI-related vulnerability in certain motherboard models, illustrating that early-boot firmware behavior continues to present security challenges despite requiring local physical access to exploit. UEFI is a critical element of system firmware because it initializes hardware and boots up the operating system. Tampering with UEFI can support attacks that are particularly difficult to detect and mitigate.This vulnerability is the most recent issue reported, but it is not an outlier. CERT/CC reported seven UEFI vulnerability notes in 2025. While small compared to reported vulnerabilities in other software, the consequences…

There were times at this week’s meeting of the World Economic Forum when Davos seemed transformed into a high-powered tech conference, with on-stage appearances by Tesla CEO Elon Musk, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang, Anthropic CEO Dario Amodei, Microsoft CEO Satya Nadella, and even more industry executives. The big topic, unsurprisingly, was AI, with CEOs laying a vision for the technology’s transformative potential while also acknowledging ongoing concerns that they’re inflating a massive bubble. Amidst all that big-picture prognostication, they also found time to take swipes at their competitors, and even at their ostensible partners. On the latest episode of TechCrunch’s…

Customer Experience (CX) now sits at the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-enabled automation, identity and access journeys, AI-generated content dynamics, and intensifying regulatory and reputational scrutiny.   In this environment, every interaction, human or machine-led, introduces potential exposure to fraud loss, unfair outcomes, agent harm, and inconsistent enforcement. Enterprises are recognizing that when trust is not deliberately designed into customer journeys, it becomes expensive to reconstruct later through escalations, remediation, and reputation repair. As a result, Trust & Safety (T&S) is increasingly being treated as a core CX enabler that can materially influence loyalty, retention, and brand resilience.   This blog looks at why T&S now sits at the heart of CX,…

The OG iPhone users miss the Touch ID with the latest devices. Touch ID was executed through a physical button in the past, but now, the new generation iPhone would definitely come with an in-display fingerprint sensor. The iPhone 18 series is expected to launch later this year in September 2026. With the new iPhones, Apple could introduce the use of LPTO+ panels. This could pack the biometric sensor for fingerprint reading, along with an under display infrared sensor for Face ID.Read More – Vivo X200T India Launch Date AnnouncedWhat’s cool about LTPO+ panels is that they are very energy efficient.…

Humans excel at processing vast arrays of visual information, a skill that is crucial for achieving artificial general intelligence (AGI). Over the decades, AI researchers have developed Visual Question Answering (VQA) systems to interpret scenes within single images and answer related questions. While recent advancements in foundation models have significantly closed the gap between human and machine visual processing, conventional VQA has been restricted to reason about only single images at a time rather than whole collections of visual data. This limitation poses challenges in more complex scenarios. Take, for example, the challenges of discerning patterns in collections of medical…
