European policymakers are currently changing a tyre on a moving car. They are navigating the implementation of the AI Act while simultaneously engaging in critical reflections on how the Act can be simplified and on the future of the GDPR. The central question: How do we find the right balance between empowering businesses to leverage the full potential of AI and ensuring privacy protection remains uncompromised? The findings from the Cisco 2026 Data and Privacy Benchmark Study, released today, provide a clear answer. To stay competitive, regulatory approaches must meet the new realities of AI and enable businesses to keep…
The Air Voltaic Cell uses high-voltage pulses to convert thermal and chemical potential energy in the air into electrical power UK climate tech investor Elbow Beach has made a £2 million seed investment in Ionech, an Oxfordshire-based clean-energy company developing a novel technology that generates electricity from the thermal energy of ambient air. Ionech’s core innovation, known as the Air Voltaic Cell, uses high-voltage pulses and field electron emission to create superoxide ions, enabling the conversion of thermal and chemical potential energy present in the air into usable electrical power. The company is targeting applications with high and continuous energy…
Previously, we provided a brief introduction to Google Gemini APIs and demonstrated how to build a Q&A application using SwiftUI. You should realize how straightforward it is to integrate Google Gemini and enhance your apps with AI features. We have also developed a demo application to demonstrate how to construct a chatbot app using the AI APIs.The gemini-pro model discussed in the previous tutorial is limited to generating text from text-based input. However, Google Gemini also offers a multimodal model called gemini-pro-vision, which can generate text descriptions from images. In other words, this model has the capacity to detect and…
Enterprises in multiple sectors are deploying private 5G to support automation and new operating models. Manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, and energy organisations can come to rely on dedicated wireless networks to the extent that their significance is regarded as a ‘given’. Yet such systems connect important systems, enable real-time control, and support data-intensive applications. As private 5g and connectivity/integration projects evolve, operational leaders face several parallel challenges, but have to proceed with work without introducing new risk vectors. A new report from the Wireless Broadband Alliance (WBA), titled Enterprise Security for private 5G Networks sets out a unified security framework designed…

Samsung has included a new fan that dissipates heat on the rear and the side, providing better cooling and preventing throttling with heavier tasks. The ‘Galaxy Book 6 Series’ is an innovative flagship product that provides a new experience from overwhelming performance to sophisticated design and convenient Galaxy AI. We recommend the Ultra model to customers who mainly use it for high-resolution video editing and gaming, and…
A transition in active nematics produces slow, strongly interacting defects, a behaviour confirmed in living cells Emergence of anti-hyperuniform defect organization in active nematics. At high activity (left), topological defects are distributed nearly uniformly throughout the system. Reducing activity toward a critical point (right) triggers defect clustering, and large defect-free regions exist alongside defect-rich ones (Courtesy: Doostmohammadi/University of Copenhagen) Nematics are materials made of rod‑like particles that tend to align in the same direction. In active nematics, this alignment is constantly disrupted and renewed because the particles are driven by internal biological or chemical energy. As the orientation field twists…
About two and a half years ago, I introduced the idea of daily ethical design. It was born out of my frustration with the many obstacles to achieving design that’s usable and equitable; protects people’s privacy, agency, and focus; benefits society; and restores nature. I argued that we need to overcome the inconveniences that prevent us from acting ethically and that we need to elevate design ethics to a more practical level by structurally integrating it into our daily work, processes, and tools. Article Continues Below Unfortunately, we’re still very far from this ideal. At the time, I didn’t know…
This is today’s edition of The Download, our weekday newsletter that provides a daily dose of what’s going on in the world of technology. “Dr. Google” had its issues. Can ChatGPT Health do better? For the past two decades, there’s been a clear first step for anyone who starts experiencing new medical symptoms: Look them up online. The practice was so common that it gained the pejorative moniker “Dr. Google.” But times are changing, and many medical-information seekers are now using LLMs. According to OpenAI, 230 million people ask ChatGPT health-related queries each week. That’s the context around the launch of OpenAI’s…

Press Release Open Cosmos, the company building satellites to understand and connect the world, has today launched the first satellites in its new proprietary low-Earth-orbit (LEO) telecom constellation, just one week after securing high-priority Ka-band spectrum. The two satellites, launched by Rocket Lab from Mahia Peninsula, New Zealand on its Electron rocket for the mission named ‘The Cosmos Will See You Now’, represent the first activation phase of Open Cosmos’ future-ready satellite network – a programme designed to deliver scalable, resilient and coordinated space-based services for Europe and the world. Lift-off took place as scheduled at 10:52 (GMT) / 11:52 (CET) /…
