Stanford engineers have discovered a standout material, strontium titanate (STO), that performs even better in extreme cold. Instead of weakening, its optical and mechanical properties improve at cryogenic temperatures. STO outperforms every comparable material tested in low-temperature environments, revealing exceptional strength, stability, and tunability. Its unique capabilities could accelerate advances in quantum computing, laser systems, and space exploration, where high performance under freezing conditions is essential.Superconductivity and quantum computing have moved from theoretical physics into real-world innovation. The 2025 Nobel Prize in Physics recognized breakthroughs in superconducting quantum circuits that could lead to ultra-powerful computers. Yet many of these technologies…
Picture this: You’re in a meeting room at your tech company, and two people are having what looks like the same conversation about the same design problem. One is talking about whether the team has the right skills to tackle it. The other is diving deep into whether the solution actually solves the user’s problem. Same room, same problem, completely different lenses. Article Continues Below This is the beautiful, sometimes messy reality of having both a Design Manager and a Lead Designer on the same team. And if you’re wondering how to make this work without creating confusion, overlap, or…
The daily scrum is likely the most misunderstood event in Scrum. The short 15-minute daily scrum meeting can be either the fuel that drives a team’s collaboration each day or the bane of the developer’s daily existence. Taking a back seat is one of the most important things a Scrum Master can do to help their team get the most from this event. All too often Scrum Masters become the center of attention during daily scrums, which can lead to a whole host of dysfunctions. The Scrum Guide says this activity is “for the developers,” so it’s important that Scrum Masters coach…
—Senator Bernie Sanders reacts to Tesla shareholders’ decision to award Elon Musk a $1 trillion pay package in a post on X. One more thing Finding forgotten Indigenous landscapes with electromagnetic technology The fertile river valleys of the American Midwest hide tens of thousands of Indigenous earthworks, according to experts: geometric structures consisting of walls, mounds, ditches, and berms, some dating back nearly 3,000 years.Archaeologists now believe that the earthworks functioned as religious gathering places, tombs for culturally important clans, and annual calendars, perhaps all at the same time. They can take the form of giant circles and squares, cloverleafs…
How service providers can partner with Global Capability Centers (GCCs) to shape the next frontier of Retail and Consumer Packaged Goods (RCPG) transformation Technology is evolving faster than ever, redefining how consumers live, shop, and engage with brands. The RPCG industry, long driven by scale and efficiency, is now being reinvented by data, cloud, Artificial Intelligence (AI), and design-led experiences. A few years ago, the industry’s digital ambitions were incremental, better apps, smoother checkouts, faster deliveries. Today, transformation is existential. Consumers expect brands to anticipate their needs, connect authentically, and operate sustainably. For many enterprises, this means rethinking their business models entirely. Retailers are responding with bold experimentation. Walmart is using Generative AI (gen…
Press Release FiberCop, the company running Italy’s most advanced, extensive and widespread digital network infrastructure has signed a strategic partnership with FMC GlobalSat and its 100% owned subsidiary MTNSat “MTN”, a world-class satellite network operator, to develop cutting-edge hybrid terrestrial-satellite solutions to deliver stable connectivity in remote areas across Italy. This agreement represents one of the first architectures of its kind developed worldwide over Low Earth Orbit (LEO) satellite networks. Altogether, both companies have successfully completed tests with hybrid network architectures that integrate LEO satellite services into terrestrial infrastructures, specifically combining fiber access with LEO satellite backhauling. A fully integrated…
With global power demand from data centers expected to more than double by 2030, the MIT Energy Initiative (MITEI) in September launched an effort that brings together MIT researchers and industry experts to explore innovative solutions for powering the data-driven future. At its annual research conference, MITEI announced the Data Center Power Forum, a targeted research effort for MITEI member companies interested in addressing the challenges of data center power demand. The Data Center Power Forum builds on lessons from MITEI’s May 2025 symposium on the energy to power the expansion of artificial intelligence (AI) and focus panels related to data centers at…
Gartner just released its first-ever Magic Quadrant for Data and Analytics Governance Platforms, marking a pivotal shift in how organizations think about governance. And here’s the exciting part—Atlan has been recognized as a Visionary in this inaugural report. This moment underscores a fundamental reality:Governance isn’t just an IT issue anymore—it’s a business imperative.AI and decentralized data ecosystems are accelerating governance evolution.Modern governance platforms are emerging to unify fragmented tools.For years, governance has been a patchwork of disconnected systems—one for metadata, another for policies, yet another for security. But with AI-driven decision-making and cloud-based ecosystems, organizations need a holistic approach to…
Recently, I’ve been asked several times about what additional revenue opportunities can be unlocked with VMware vDefend, beyond its well-known and well adopted core Distributed Firewall (micro-segmentation) capabilities. This inspired me to write this blog — to explore the advanced features and value-added services that vDefend offers, and how these can be leveraged by Cloud Service Providers (CSPs) to expand their cloud security portfolio and drive new monetization models. VMware vDefend Core base Capability The fundamental offering is the Distributed Firewall (DFW) (sometimes also “Gateway Firewall”) — i.e. east–west plus north–south firewalling at a software/hypervisor layer. It supports Layer 2-7…
For the past week, domains associated with the massive Aisuru botnet have repeatedly usurped Amazon, Apple, Google and Microsoft in Cloudflare’s public ranking of the most frequently requested websites. Cloudflare responded by redacting Aisuru domain names from their top websites list. The chief executive at Cloudflare says Aisuru’s overlords are using the botnet to boost their malicious domain rankings, while simultaneously attacking the company’s domain name system (DNS) service. The #1 and #3 positions in this chart are Aisuru botnet controllers with their full domain names redacted. Source: radar.cloudflare.com. Aisuru is a rapidly growing botnet comprising hundreds of thousands of…
