Posted by Chrome Secure Web and Networking Team Today we’re announcing a new program in Chrome to make HTTPS certificates secure against quantum computers. The Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF) recently created a working group, PKI, Logs, And Tree Signatures (“PLANTS”), aiming to address the performance and bandwidth challenges that the increased size of quantum-resistant cryptography introduces into TLS connections requiring Certificate Transparency (CT). We recently shared our call to action to secure quantum computing and have written about challenges introduced by quantum-resistant cryptography and some of the steps we’ve taken to address them in earlier blog posts. To ensure…
Most people assume that a sticker should stick to any flat surface without any major issues. They expect the adhesive to grab onto the material and stay there forever regardless of the conditions. In reality, some surfaces act like a non-stick frying pan. This frustration happens because of the invisible molecular forces that govern how liquids and solids interact in the world. When a surface has very low energy, the adhesive simply cannot find a way to bond. The label ends up curling and eventually falling off. Overcoming these difficult textures requires a specialized product designed for high stakes industrial…
Early industrial IoT projects often looked convincing at first glance. A small group of machines would be fitted with sensors, data would stream into dashboards, and engineers could suddenly see patterns that were previously hidden. Yet in many cases, the financial impact remained unclear. Some firms expanded these pilots across multiple sites before confirming real savings, and when the numbers failed to meet expectations, support weakened and budgets tightened.The shortfall was rarely technical. More often, it came down to financial alignment.Start industrial IoT with cost, not technologyAn IoT deployment built around return on investment begins with a practical question: what…
Bose Ultra Open Earbuds: They weren’t the first clip-on earbuds, but Bose’s Ultra Open Earbuds really kickstarted this sub-genre of true-wireless earbuds. They’re somewhat overpriced, but otherwise, there’s a lot to like about them, including a surprisingly comfortable, secure fit and very good sound quality for open buds. Initially, the buds didn’t feature multipoint Bluetooth pairing, but the feature was added in July of 2024. Read my Bose Ultra Open Earbuds review.JBL Endurance Peak 3: With JBL releasing a new Endurance Peak model in the spring of 2026, its 3rd-gen ear-hook style sport earbuds should be available at a decent…
Developing an industrial-grade automated atomic force microscope (AFM) requires careful attention from the very first customer discussion to final commissioning on site. At Nanosurf, these two moments are particularly critical, as early design decisions ultimately determine whether the final system can meet demanding industrial specifications. Bridging these phases is Dr. Marco Corbetta, application and service engineer, who accompanies many custom AFM systems from concept to handover. “I am involved right at the beginning, when the project is still being discussed, even before the order is placed. Later, I am called in again toward the end, after the system has been designed by the mechanical engineer,…
Summary created by Smart Answers AIIn summary:Tech Advisor reports that the popular BBC comedy series ‘Ghosts’ is getting a feature film sequel titled ‘Ghosts: The Possession of Button House’.The movie will be directed by Simon Hynd and written by the original TV series creators, potentially exploring the haunted hotel era after Button House’s transformation.This matters to fans as it promises new adventures with the beloved ghosts, possibly featuring a comedic mix reminiscent of The Shining and The White Lotus. If you thought it was time to say goodbye to the ghosts of Button House once and for all, you’re sorely…
During a summer internship at MIT Lincoln Laboratory, Ivy Mahncke, an undergraduate student of robotics engineering at Olin College of Engineering, took a hands-on approach to testing algorithms for underwater navigation. She first discovered her love for working with underwater robotics as an intern at the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 2024. Drawn by the chance to tackle new problems and cutting-edge algorithm development, Mahncke began an internship with Lincoln Laboratory’s Advanced Undersea Systems and Technology Group in 2025. Mahncke spent the summer developing and troubleshooting an algorithm that would help a human diver and robotic vehicle collaboratively navigate underwater. The…
Agentic AI is moving beyond experimentation and into real enterprise workflows. Unlike traditional AI models that simply generate predictions, agentic AI systems can reason, coordinate tools, trigger workflows, and operate autonomously within defined guardrails. But for medium-sized companies evaluating adoption, one major question remains: What does implementation actually cost? The short answer is: it depends on scope, integration depth, and operational complexity. However, we can provide realistic rough ranges to guide expectations. What Drives the Cost of Agentic AI? For a medium-sized company (typically 200-1,500 employees), the cost of agentic AI implementation is influenced by five major factors: 1.…
The telecommunications industry is facing a critical moment, as we all understand the devastating vulnerabilities that span providers and regions worldwide. Bad actors are exploiting outdated network equipment, unpatched systems, and insecure protocols, highlighting the urgent need for stronger, more resilient infrastructure. These challenges expose an uncomfortable truth: the security of our networks is only as strong as their weakest components. Modernizing telecommunications infrastructure to address security risks While we’ve spent the past decade racing toward 5G deployment, network virtualization, and ambitious promises of 6G innovation, elements of global infrastructure have been left running on borrowed time and outdated security. Legacy appliances sit in data centers worldwide; their…
Claude appears to be having a major outage right now, with elevated errors reported across all platforms. The incident was flagged on March 2, 2026, and it’s impacting users broadly rather than being limited to one app or region. According to the latest status update, the team is still investigating the issue. The first “Investigating” notice went out at 11:49 UTC, and a follow-up update at 12:06 UTC said the investigation is ongoing. For now, that likely means you may see failed requests, timeouts, or inconsistent responses when trying to use Claude on web, mobile, or API. There’s no ETA…
