SLAC researchers find proof of altermagnetism, a new magnetic phase
The team is the first to directly observe a unique property in an altermagnetic candidate material, key evidence of a new phase of magnetism.

Next Science on X: ⏳ Scientists have proposed a strange new state of matter that behaves like a liquid—but through time.
What if matter could maintain a rhythm without staying perfectly synchronized?
Physicists have proposed a fascinating concept called a discrete time liquid. Ordinary crystals have repeating patterns in space, while time crystals display repeating patterns in their behaviour over time.
First patient undergoes pioneering stem-cell treatment for Parkinson’s
A patient has undergone pioneering stem-cell therapy to treat Parkinson’s disease, the Japanese drugmaker behind the treatment said on Friday, in a world first following its conditional approval in the country.
Sumitomo Pharma’s treatment involves transplanting millions of induced pluripotent stem (iPS) cells, which have the potential to develop into any cell in the body, into a patient’s brain.
Japanese regulators approved the therapy in March, following a successful clinical trial.
Microexons May Help Explain the 85% of Autism Cases Without a Clear Genetic Cause
Researchers used machine learning and large-scale genomic data to identify new neuronal microexons and rare variants affecting their splicing. The findings may explain some previously unresolved genetic contributors to autism.
Scientists Tried to Find a Logical Cause of Ghostly Presences. They Found Something Even Scarier
Researchers compared three very different groups and found their hauntings eerily overlapped.
Futurist.COM Founder Glen Hiemstra on 40 Years of Futurism: The Future is Something We Do
“The future creates the present.”
Glen Hiemstra said that to me in 2020, after almost 40 years working as a #futurist. At the time, I took it as a good line. Six years later, it reads more like a warning.
Glen never cared much about forecasting the probable future. He points out that some of futurism’s biggest failures, the collapse of the USSR among them, came from staring too hard at what seemed likely. For decades he pushed his clients to do something harder. Decide what future you actually prefer, then go build it.
Now listen to how we talk about #AI. It’s almost all inevitability: it’s coming, adapt or get left behind. Hardly anyone asks what we want.
Glen also told me what he sees as the single biggest problem humanity faces. His answer surprised me in 2020. In 2026 it looks obvious.
Over two hours, we also got into genius and stupidity as roommates, the McDonald’s Theory of Peace, and why science gives us comfortable lives while the #humanities give us something to live for.
Access Denied
The October 29, 2026 security breach of Binance set a precedent as the largest digital heist in history, eclipsing the $1.5 billion Bybit hack from February 2025. The sheer scale of the incident—$6.36 billion USD in crypto stolen in approximately 20 minutes—has drawn intense scrutiny across the tech, security, and financial sectors.
1. Initial Breach Vector & Execution Speed.
The attack launched around 20:05 UTC on October 29, 2026. Most of the stolen assets were transferred out of Binance hot wallets across 10 distinct blockchain networks within a 20-minute window.
* Access Vector: Preliminary investigations suggest an initial compromise of an engineer’s endpoint device or service container environment. Binance CEO Richard Teng subsequently clarified that it was not a simple “one-click” privilege abuse by a single employee, but rather a coordinated, multi-stage operation targeting hot wallet signing workflows.
* Ethereum Delegation Exploit: On the Ethereum network, the attackers executed an EIP-7702 delegation, effectively turning a Binance hot wallet into a sweeper contract under their control using 50 pre-signed authorizations prepared hours prior.
* Multi-Chain Sweeping: Concurrently, hot wallets across 9 other blockchains (including Solana, XRP Ledger, and Optimism) executed signed transfers, draining liquidity almost instantaneously.
2. Threat Actor Attribution.
Major blockchain forensic firms—including TRM Labs, Chainalysis, and Pangolin Intelligence—have attributed the breach with high confidence to TraderTraitor (a specialized cyber unit associated with North Korea’s Lazarus Group).
┌─────────────────────────────────────────────────────────┐ │ ON-CHAIN & OFF-CHAIN │ │ FORENSICS ATTRIBUTION │ └────────────────────────────┬────────────────────────────┘ │ ┌────────────────┴────────────────┐ ▼ ▼ [ TRM Labs / Elliptic ] [ Pangolin / Chainalysis ] Pattern matching: Pre-signed Transaction fingerprinting & sweeper contracts & wallet historic wallet clusters from peeling infrastructure earlier state-backed hacks.
Attribution relies on pattern matching with previous state-sponsored campaigns, including wallet-peeling mechanisms, rapid liquidity swapping to evade blacklisting, and overlaps with historical addresses from past breaches.
3. Incident Containment & Countermeasures.
Despite the immediate loss, a rapid response across the broader web3 and stablecoin ecosystem mitigated a portion of the stolen funds:
* Stablecoin Blacklisting: Major issuers—including Tether, Circle, and Ripple—alongside protocols like the Arbitrum Security Council, froze roughly $2.7 billion to $3.0 billion in stolen stablecoins and assets before they could be fully laundered.
* Unfreezable Assets: The attackers managed to swap and bridge hundreds of millions in stablecoins into native ETH (~420,000 ETH) and BTC (~18,270 BTC), placing roughly $2.4B–$3.5B beyond the reach of centralized freeze mechanisms.
* Exchange Operations & Fund Guarantee: Binance temporarily halted withdrawals and deposit processing for security audits while confirming that user funds remain safe, committing to absorb the net unrecovered losses through internal corporate reserves.
