Researchers at the Niels Bohr Institute have significantly increased how quickly changes in delicate quantum states can be detected inside a qubit. By combining commercially available hardware with new adaptive measurement techniques, the team can now observe rapid shifts in qubit behavior that were previously impossible to see. Qubits are the fundamental units of quantum computers, which scientists hope will one day outperform today’s most powerful machines. But qubits are extremely sensitive. The materials used to build them often contain tiny defects that scientists still do not fully understand. These microscopic imperfections can shift position hundreds of times per second.…

The dependence on trusted data for high-stakes decisions is greater than ever – but the reality for data teams today is jarring: fragmented data, inconsistent formats, poor quality, and endless hours spent writing rules, correcting values, and onboarding new sources. All of this often depends on specialized technical expertise. These challenges slow down your projects and create real risk when analytics and AI are asked to operate on incomplete or unreliable information. As data grows more complex and business needs accelerate, traditional manual approaches to data quality simply can’t keep up. Your teams need a modern, scalable way to ensure…

At re:Invent 2025, we introduced a completely re-imagined AWS Security Hub that unifies AWS security services, including Amazon GuardDuty and Amazon Inspector into a single experience. This unified experience automatically and continuously analyzes security findings in combination to help you prioritize and respond to your critical security risks. Today, we’re announcing AWS Security Hub Extended, a plan of Security Hub that simplifies how you procure, deploy, and integrate a full-stack enterprise security solution across endpoint, identity, email, network, data, browser, cloud, AI, and security operations. With the Extended plan, you can expand your security portfolio beyond AWS to help protect…

In early January 2026, KrebsOnSecurity revealed how a security researcher disclosed a vulnerability that was used to build Kimwolf, the world’s largest and most disruptive botnet. Since then, the person in control of Kimwolf — who goes by the handle “Dort” — has coordinated a barrage of distributed denial-of-service (DDoS), doxing and email flooding attacks against the researcher and this author, and more recently caused a SWAT team to be sent to the researcher’s home. This post examines what is knowable about Dort based on public information. A public “dox” created in 2020 asserted Dort was a teenager from Canada…

Support CleanTechnica’s work through a Substack subscription or on Stripe. We typically report on Waymo and other US-based robotaxi companies, but one of the biggest robotaxi services in the world is Baidu’s Apollo Go. It first launched fully driverless robotaxis in China on July 20, 2022, and was the first company to launch them there. Now we have news that, as of this month, Apollo Go has provided 20 million rides — worldwide, as it does also offer robotaxi services in some locations outside of China. Note that Waymo passed 20 million passenger trips in December 2025. The company provided…

6/3/18 2:20 PM · 1 min read Let’s combine factory method with simple factory voilá: here is the abstract factory design pattern written in Swift language! Abstract factory in SwiftThe abstract factory pattern provides a way to encapsulate a group of individual factories that have a common theme without specifying their concrete classes.So abstract factory is there for you to create families of related objects. The implementation usually combines simple factory & factory method principles. Individual objects are created through factory methods, while the whole thing is wrapped in an “abstract” simple factory. Now check the code! 😅// service protocols protocol…

Today’s data centers rely on a variety of tools to provide enhanced visibility and observability of critical application traffic and traffic flow details. Utilizing switch-based telemetry capabilities is an extremely popular approach, but it’s often the case that packet details or granular traffic filtering are desired; thus, a complementary solution is required. Cisco Nexus Dashboard Data Broker is the perfect solution to ingest Switched Port Analyzer (SPAN) and/or Test Access Point (TAP) traffic, apply filters and header modifications, provide packet deduplication, and then redirect traffic to monitoring and other tools such as intrusion prevention systems (IPS) and security incident and…

Kaitlyn Cimino / Android AuthorityI’ve bounced between ebooks and audiobooks for years, usually picking whichever format fits the moment. Audible’s new immersive reading tool makes a pitch for doing both at once. In my experience, the result fills a niche but very real gap in my book consumption. Would you use immersive reading mode?7 votesNo.57%Yes, in the right scenario.29%Yes, for the right content type.14%A two-in-one reading experienceKaitlyn Cimino / Android AuthorityI’m not someone who treats reading like a scoreboard or tries to prove how well-read I am. I just love to read. Unfortunately, that passion doesn’t always translate into focus.…

Myocardial infarction (MI), one of the leading causes of global mortality and disability among cardiovascular diseases, has long been a focal point in medical research concerning its pathological mechanisms and therapeutic strategies [1]. From a pathophysiological perspective, MI triggers a complex cascade of events: initial ischemia and hypoxia induce cardiomyocyte necrosis, subsequently activating inflammatory responses that exacerbate ventricular remodeling and functional deterioration [2]. Within this process, oxidative stress and inflammatory reactions form a vicious cycle that critically aggravates tissue damage [3]. Excessive production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) directly injures cardiomyocytes and activates pro-inflammatory pathways such as NF-κB, further amplifying…

The Model Context Protocol (MCP) was created to enable AI agents to connect to data and systems, and while there are a number of benefits to having a standard interface for connectivity, there are still issues to work out regarding privacy and security. Already there have been a number of incidents caused by MCP, such as in April when a malicious MCP server was able to export users’ WhatsApp history; in May, when a prompt-injection attack was carried out against GitHub’s MCP server that allowed data to be pulled from private repos; and in June, when Asana’s MCP server had…
