Technical and marketing teams working on internet of things (IoT) programs, sooner or later, manage a project that requires data flow between a fleet of devices and the cloud. This data is critical because marketing wants to provide more features to the users, business teams require data driven decisions, and technical teams work to optimize connectivity to an existing device fleet. All these reasons align around improving the customer experience. This blog post discusses the initial stages of an IoT project and some of the options that are available to communicate between the device and the cloud. It also provides…

What you need to knowRecent leaks regarding a previously rumored Advanced Protection feature surface again, showing Google’s work toward “Intrusion Logging.”This feature, within Google’s code, states that users can enable it and will be can be connected to a “trusted” expert if suspicious activity is found with their device.Google recently rolled out Android 16 QPR3 Beta 2 to enrolled Pixel users, providing an extensive list of fixes for crashes, notifications, and more.There’s an Android protection feature that’s been in the works for a while now, and a new report seems to have discovered the fruits of Google’s labor.A recent Google…

Colloidal quantum dots (QDs), also known as colloidal semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs), are zero-dimensional nanoscale semiconductor particles (typically 2–10 nm in size) whose electronic and optical properties are size-dependent due to their quantum confinement [1]. Their size-dependent optical properties have been the focus of significant research over the past two decades [2]. Each QD consists of between a few hundred to a few thousand atoms [3], and surrounded by an outer layer of functional groups such as amino, carbonyl, aldehyde, hydroxyl, and carboxylic acid groups [4]. In a system when the particle radius becomes smaller than the exciton Bohr radius, quantum confinement…

AI is revolutionizing how teams develop products. In this blog we’ll introduce a set of prompts you can use to understand your users, prepare to interview real users, generate a product backlog, add acceptance criteria, and evaluate your own user stories. Throughout this blog, I’ll use a consistent example so you can see how results from one prompt feed into the next. For our example, let’s imagine our team is developing a new product for valet-attended parking garages. We’ll validate our product by selling initially to independent parking garages such as at boutique hotels. For the examples here, I will…

Recently, embryo scoring has evolved. Labs can pinch off a couple of cells from an embryo, look at its DNA, and screen for some genetic diseases. That list of diseases is increasing. And now some companies are taking things even further, offering prospective parents the opportunity to select embryos for features like height, eye color, and even IQ. This is controversial for lots of reasons. For a start, there are many, many factors that contribute to complex traits like IQ (a score that doesn’t capture all aspects of intelligence at any rate). We don’t have a perfect understanding of those factors, or…

“Ireland’s MedTech sector thrives on collaboration and innovation, supported by robust national incentives to support research, development and innovation” As medical devices become more complex, and digitisation, automation and AI integration evolves, many med tech companies are seeking to collaborate with specialist design, development, automation and manufacturing firms. These Contract Manufacturing Organisations (CMOs) and Contract Development and Manufacturing Organisations (CDMOs) play a vital role in sustaining a dynamic, growing industry. As technology driven partners, CMOs and CDMOs bring distinctive expertise to projects and should actively leverage RD&I incentives to support their operations. Ireland is widely recognised as an advanced hub…

While we hear a lot about automated provisioning and NaaS, how long does it really take to get a quote for DIA service? Or more to the point: how long does it take to actually get a circuit installed? And what do enterprises really think of their ISPs?

A performance reel. Instagram, TikTok, and Facebook accounts. A separate contact email for enquiries. All staples of an actor’s website.Except these all belong to Tilly Norwood, an AI “actor.”This creation represents one of the newer AI trends, which is AI “artists” that eerily represent real humans (which, according to their creators, is the goal). Eline Van der Velden, the creator of Tilly Norwood, has said that she is focused on making the creation “a big star” in the “AI genre,” a distinction that has been used to justify the existence of AI created artists as not taking away jobs from…

At Slack, our data platform processes terabytes of data each day using Apache Spark on Amazon EMR on Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud (Amazon EC2), powering the insights that drive strategic decision-making across the organization. As our data volume expanded, so did our performance challenges. With traditional monitoring tools, we couldn’t effectively manage our systems when Spark jobs slowed down or costs spiraled out of control. We were stuck searching through cryptic logs, making educated guesses about resource allocation, and watching our engineering teams spend hours on manual tuning that should have been automated. That’s why we built something better: a…

Healthcare and life sciences organizations are navigating an era of unprecedented complexity. Administrative burden continues to rise, clinical workflows remain fragmented, and scientific discovery is advancing faster than traditional systems can support. At the same time, trust, safety, and regulatory compliance remain non-negotiable. From supporting clinical research and helping teams prepare documentation to assisting teams with documentation review for prior authorization workflows, organizations need AI that does more than generate text. They need AI that is designed to support medical and scientific complexity, reasons across multi-step workflows, and can be deployed responsibly at enterprise scale. Today, we’re excited to announce…
