Platforms that offer the most diverse research datasets transform how data scientists and business intelligence teams approach discovery and forecasting. By unifying publications and clinical trials into a single environment, these platforms help eliminate silos and improve decision-making speed. With many tools claiming to offer cutting-edge research access, it’s not always clear which platform truly delivers on dataset diversity. For data scientists and intelligence teams who need more than just publications, these options stand out for their ability to link trials and scholarly outputs in one ecosystem.1. DimensionsDimensions offers one of the most comprehensive and interconnected research datasets available, linking…
At the end of 2025 I was happy to take a long break to enjoy the incredible summers that the southern hemisphere provides. I’m back and writing my first post in 2026 which also happens to be my last post for the AWS News Blog (more on this later). The AWS community is starting the year strong with various AWS re:invent re:Caps being hosted around the globe, with some communities already hosting their AWS Community Day events, the AWS Community Day Tel Aviv 2026 was hosted last week. Last week’s launches Here are last week’s launches that caught my attention:…
The business social networking site is a vast, publicly accessible database of corporate information. Don’t believe everyone on the site is who they say they are. 16 Jan 2026 • , 4 min. read In November, Britain’s Security Service began notifying members of parliament (MPs) and their staff of an audacious foreign intelligence-gathering scheme. It claimed two profiles on LinkedIn were approaching individuals working in British politics in order to solicit “insider insights”. The revelations from MI5 precipitated a £170 million ($230 million) government initiative to tackle espionage threats to parliament. It may be the most recent high-profile case of…
Hinkley Point nuclear power station construction in Somerset in 2022. The government’s review of nuclear delivery, published in November, is based on misleading advice, says new research published by The Wildlife Trusts, a federation of UK wildlife charities. Faulty evidence underpins the Prime Minister’s appraisal of “pointless gold-plating, unnecessary red-tape, well-intentioned, but fundamentally misguided environmental regulations”, as the group explains Why the Nuclear Regulatory Review is flawed – and how it could turn the nature crisis into a catastrophe also reveals that the review’s proposals to weaken the Habitats Regulations which protect nature sites – as well as “to remove…
The impending sunsets of older mobile networks pose a risk to legacy IoT applications and therefore demand immediate attention.The retirement of 2G and 3G networks presents a logistical hurdle that threatens to interrupt supply chains, utility grids, and payment systems if not navigated with precision. While the consumer migration to 5G dominates headlines, the real friction lies in the industrial sector, where millions of IoT devices still rely on older connectivity standards.According to analysis from Omdia, Europe currently leads the global charge in network decommissioning, specifically targeting 3G services while often preserving 2G. This diverging approach – where 3G is…
I’d never call myself a real coder. Most of what I know comes from tinkering in the Linux terminal, copying and pasting Python and the occasional burst of long-forgotten coding classes I started — and quickly abandoned — years ago. I wouldn’t even say I know enough to be dangerous, but probably enough to break something if I’m lucky. And that’s exactly why vibe coding interests me so much.I’ve created web-based apps for events calendars and a horror movie showcase gallery, and I’ve spent way too much time recreating some of my favorite childhood PC games, all by talking to an…
A nanotube lattice reveals how electrons shift between 1D and 2D quantum phases under voltage control Atom illustration showing electrons (Courtesy: iStock/Pobytov) Carbon nanotube arrays are designed to investigate the behaviour of electrons in low‑dimensional systems. By arranging well‑aligned 1D nanotubes into a 2D film, the researchers create a coupled‑wire structure that allows them to study how electrons move and interact as the system transitions between different dimensionalities. Using a gate electrode positioned on top of the array, the researchers were able to tune both the carrier density (number of electrons and holes in a unit area) and the strength…
Organizations that have modernized their applications are three times more likely to see a clear ROI on their AI investments compared to those that haven’t, according to a new survey from Cloudflare. The 2026 App Innovation Report found that 93% of leaders believe that updating their software was “the single most important factor in boosting their AI capabilities.” Organizations that have fallen behind on their modernization efforts report being 85% less confident in their infrastructure. Those who fall into that camp often only modernize reactively after a security breach happens. Additionally, companies that align security with modernization are four times…
A software bill of materials (SBOM) provides transparency into the elements of an integrated software product. Such transparency is critical to identifying system vulnerabilities and thus mitigating potential security risks. There is growing interest in using SBOMs to support software supply chain risk management. In September 2024 Army leaders signed a memorandum requiring SBOMs for vendor-supplied software. More recently, the Department of Defense (DoD) Chief Information Officer, through its Software Fast Track Program, is requiring that software vendors submit their SBOMs, as well as those from third-party assessors, to enable detection of variances between SBOMs for the same software.Different SBOM…
The AI data center construction boom continues unabated, with the demand for power in the United States potentially reaching 106 gigawatts by 2035, according to a December report from research and analysis company BloombergNEF. That’s a 36 percent jump from the company’s previous outlook, published just seven months earlier. But there are severe constraints in power availability, material, equipment, and—perhaps most significantly—a lack of engineers, technicians, and skilled craftsmen that could turn the data center boom into a bust.The power grid engineering workforce is currently shrinking, and data center operators are also hurting for trained electrical engineers. Laura Laltrello, the…
