Energean announces new Israel gas discovery, estimated at 7–15 billion cubic meters

Posted by in category: futurism

The Energean company announced to the Tel Aviv and London stock exchanges Thursday that its Hermes exploration well in Israeli maritime waters has yielded a new commercial gas discovery of 7–15 billion cubic meters, according to estimates.

Hermes is located southeast of the Karish field, to which the UK-Greek company holds the production rights.

The Stena IceMax drilling rig has now moved to the so-called Olympus area, located between Energean’s Karish and Tanin fields. The company hopes that exploration will enable it to further refine estimates of natural gas there, which currently stand at a theoretical 58 billion cubic meters, according to Energean’s notice.

Discovery of a New Rare Blood Type Could Save The Lives of Future Newborns

Posted by in categories: biotech/medical, futurism

The devastating loss of a pair of newborns has provided critical insights into a rare set of blood types spotted for the first time in humans 40 years ago.

By unravelling the molecular identity of the relatively new blood type known as the Er system, a new study could hopefully prevent such tragedies in the future.

“This work demonstrates that even after all the research conducted to date, the simple red blood cell can still surprise us,” says University of Bristol cell biologist Ash Toye.

Mitigation for Exchange Zero-Days Bypassed! Microsoft Issues New Workarounds

Posted by in category: futurism

Microsoft has revised its mitigation measures for the newly disclosed and actively exploited zero-day flaws in Exchange Server after it was found that they could be trivially bypassed.

The two vulnerabilities, tracked as CVE-2022–41040 and CVE-2022–41082, have been codenamed ProxyNotShell due to similarities to another set of flaws called ProxyShell, which the tech giant resolved last year.

In-the-wild attacks abusing the shortcomings have chained the two flaws to gain remote code execution on compromised servers with elevated privileges, leading to the deployment of web shells.

Microsoft updates mitigation for ProxyNotShell Exchange zero days

Posted by in category: futurism

Microsoft has updated the mitigations for the latest Exchange zero-day vulnerabilities tracked as CVE-2022–41040 and CVE-2022–41082, also referred to ProxyNotShell.

The initial recommendations were insufficient as researchers showed that they can be easily bypassed to allow new attacks exploiting the two bugs.

Unfortunately, the current recommendations are still not enough and the proposed mitigation can still allow ProxyNotShell attacks.

Water-based chips could be the future of neural networks

Posted by in categories: futurism, robotics/AI

Researchers are working on water-based microprocessors that could one day be used as a more diverse alternative to the current wafer architecture of today, with applications ranging from AI to DNA synthesis and likely beyond.

The chips in question are still in the prototype stage, so don’t expect processors with built in water cooling just yet, but the way they work is really exciting. They use a technique called ionics, which involves manipulating different ion species in liquid, as opposed to the standard electrons shooting through our semiconductors today.
