Who benefits from artificial intelligence? This basic question, which has been especially salient during the AI surge of the last few years, was front and center at a conference at MIT on Wednesday, as speakers and audience members grappled with the many dimensions of AI’s impact.In one of the conferences’s keynote talks, journalist Karen Hao ’15 called for an altered trajectory of AI development, including a move away from the massive scale-up of data use, data centers, and models being used to develop tools under the rubric of “artificial general intelligence.”“This scale is unnecessary,” said Hao, who has become a…

What if the way we build AI document chatbots today is flawed? Most systems use RAG. They split documents into chunks, create embeddings, and retrieve answers using similarity search. It works in demos but often fails in real use. It misses obvious answers or picks the wrong context. Now there is a new approach called PageIndex. It does not use chunking, embeddings, or vector databases. Yet it reaches up to 98.7% accuracy on tough document Q&A tasks. In this article, we will break down how PageIndex works, why it performs better on structured documents, and how you can build your…

Somewhere right now, a Cisco colleague is on a call with a company facing the worst day of their professional lives. Their network is compromised, their data may be stolen, and their business is at risk. That Cisco colleague is calm, focused, and already three steps into solving the problem. Meet Cisco Talos Incident Response, or Talos IR – our frontline response team.  These are colleagues who have dedicated their careers to being present when organizations face genuine crisis, systems fail, attackers succeed and everything feels uncertain. Who we are  Every Cisconian knows we sell security products. Fewer know that we also have a team of people who parachute into chaos when those products,…

Image: Generated via Google’s Nano Banana A recently reported phishing scam is raising fresh concerns, though the tactic has actually been around for years. Reports showed that scammers are embedding fake “trusted sender” banners into suspicious emails, potentially misleading users into letting their guard down. According to Fox News, the issue came to light when a reader shared a screenshot of a questionable email that carried the reassuring message: “This message was sent from a trusted sender.” At first glance, the label makes the email appear safe, even though the content itself shows clear signs of fraud and the banner…

National Gas has outlined early-stage plans for a 300-mile hydrogen pipeline along England’s east coast, marking what seems a significant step towards a national hydrogen network. The operator of the UK’s national gas transmission system unveiled plans for the first phase of the proposed national hydrogen network – Project Union: East Coast – on 18 March. The underground hydrogen transmission pipeline is intended to connect some of Britain’s most important industrial regions and anchor the country’s emerging hydrogen economy. “Running from Teesside, through Yorkshire and the Humber, and south into the East Midlands, the pipeline will form the backbone of…

For years, “Day 1” meant the adrenaline of launch: ship the thing, connect the thing, prove it works. The phrase was popularised in tech culture as a warning against complacency—because “Day 2” is where complexity, slow decisions and operational drift start to pile up. Now that mindset is colliding with a new reality: enterprises are transitioning IoT assets through faster automation, fewer breakpoints across rollouts or expansion, and far less tolerance for downtime or uncertainty. The difference between a successful pilot and a scaled deployment is rarely limited to hardware. It is the operational control plane: how you provision, govern,…

Smartphone cameras play a central role in capturing everyday moments. With enhanced performance and intuitive AI features, Galaxy S26 Ultra elevates the mobile camera experience — making it easy to capture and edit with professional-quality results. Samsung Newsroom experienced the Galaxy S26 Ultra’s camera firsthand after Galaxy Unpacked 2026 in San Francisco, showcasing the city’s diverse scenery and unique atmosphere. Sharp Detail at Any Distance Pier 39, one of San Francisco’s most iconic landmarks, offers sweeping ocean views. With Galaxy S26 Ultra, even Alcatraz Island across the bay — typically seen clearly only up close by boat — appears crisp…

Not that long ago, we were resigned to the idea that humans would need to inspect every line of AI-generated code. We’d do it personally, code reviews would always be part of a serious software practice, and the ability to read and review code would become an even more important part of a developer’s skillset. At the same time, I suspect we all knew that was untenable, that AI would quickly generate much more code than humans could reasonably review. Understanding someone else’s code is harder than understanding your own, and understanding machine-generated code is harder still. At some point—and…

Blue phosphorene hosts an orbital Chern insulator with an experimentally distinct orbital Hall effect Overlapping squares (Courtesy: Cienpies Design) Topological insulators are insulators in the bulk and conductors on the surface. This behaviour is caused by spin-orbit coupling, a property that is stronger in heavier elements. Therefore, most topological insulators are made using heavy elements, such as bismuth selenide (Bi₂Se₃) and antimony telluride (Sb₂Te₃). In this research, the authors introduce orbital Chern insulators, a topological phase in which the orbital angular momentum of electrons, rather than their spin, drives the nontrivial topology. This allows topological behaviour to emerge in materials…

Developer tooling shapes how software gets written day to day, but the best tools often disappear into the background once they succeed. Formatting, linting, and build systems can either create friction and endless debate, or quietly remove entire classes of problems from a team’s workflow. Over the past decade, the JavaScript ecosystem has wrestled with both extremes as it scaled rapidly and accumulated complexity. Prettier emerged as a response to the surprisingly human problem of engineers spending too much time debating code style instead of building software. It offers a deterministic, opinionated formatter that helped normalize automation as part of…
