In the time it takes you to read this sentence, the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) will have smashed billions of particles together. In all likelihood, it will have found exactly what it found yesterday: more evidence to support the Standard Model of particle physics.For the engineers who built this 27-kilometer-long ring, this consistency is a triumph. But for theoretical physicists, it has been rather frustrating. As Matthew Hutson reports in “AI Hunts for the Next Big Thing in Physics,” the field is currently gripped by a quiet crisis. In an email discussing his reporting, Hutson explains that the Standard Model,…

Esri Ireland, the market leader in Geographic Information Systems (GIS), has received a Laureate Award at the Great Place to Work Ireland Awards 2026. The company was recognised for achieving Best Workplace status for 10 consecutive years. In addition, Esri Ireland ranked in 4th place on the Best Mid-Sized Workplaces in Ireland list for 2026. The company received the accolade at the 24th annual Great Place to Work Ireland Awards, which took place during a gala ceremony at the Clayton Hotel Burlington Road in Dublin. The awards programme is based on direct feedback from employees about the workplace experience. Esri Ireland is committed to making the company a great place to work and prioritises enhanced employee opportunities, support, and…

After tracking prices for telecom transport services for more than two decades, there are two things we know for certain: telecom prices vary widely around the world, and they change over time. As multinational corporations across industries grapple with price changes, they’re also reevaluating how cloud, security, SD-WAN—and eventually AI—will impact the configuration and costs of their WAN services. That’s why we created this WAN Market Size Forecast.

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…
