The Latest Tools for Making Sure Your Cellphone Is Secure Scammers have all sorts of new tricks to steal your information. Phone manufacturers, carriers and software developers are upping their game, too.

Mobile-specific attacks increased by 50% in 2024 over the previous. And with AI on the march, phone-based fraud is growing more sophisticated by the day.

To keep up with the threats, manufacturers, carriers and software developers are rolling out new protections to keep the criminals at bay.

China Has a Different Vision for AI. It Might Be Smarter. Xi Jinping is pushing the country’s tech industry to build practical, low-cost tools that boost the country’s efficiency and can be marketed easily.

Intelligent robots are being deployed to run automotive “dark factories” and inspect textiles for flaws while still on the loom.

Direct visualization of quantum zero-point motion in complex molecule reveals eternal dance of atoms Most of us find it difficult to grasp the quantum world. According to Heisenberg's uncertainty principle, it's like observing a dance without being able to see simultaneously exactly where someone is ...

Zero-point motion of molecules in their lowest energy state is a purely quantum mechanical phenomenon that cannot be explained classically.

AI has opened the door to a new geopolitics 'Winning the AI race' is slowly justifying everything

Tech companies are controlling the supply of AI, or funding its development to achieve geopolitical goals, in turn, expanding or contracting the power of nations.In parallel, governments are going beyond deepfakes and disinformation, looking to AI to reinvent their role in the future global order.

How Will the Spatial Web Transform the Physical World? The Spatial Web's HSML and HSTP standards offer a new way for autonomous vehicles to communicate and coordinate in real-time.

The Spatial Web standard connects devices, robots, and AI agents. In May, the IEEE Standards Association ratified a set of standards (IEEE 2874-2025) that defines the Spatial Web.

Estonia’s national parliament is using AI to speed up the legislative process, including by using automated systems to draft and analyse legal texts, reducing the time and resources needed for lawmakers to review complex proposals.

LLMs break into networks with no help, and it’s not science fiction anymore - it actually happened AI model replicated the Equifax breach without a single human command

If LLMs can carry out network breaches on their own, then malicious actors could potentially use them to scale attacks far beyond what’s feasible with human teams.
