New “Giant Superatoms” Could Solve Quantum Computing’s Biggest Problem
A new quantum system called giant superatoms could protect quantum information and enable entanglement between multiple qubits. The concept merges giant atoms and superatoms to improve stability and scalability for future quantum technologies. Scientists at Chalmers University of Technology in Sw
Resurrected 3.2-Billion-Year-Old Enzyme Could Unlock the Origins of Life
Nitrogen is essential for life on Earth, yet most organisms cannot use it directly from the atmosphere. Scientists now believe this element may also provide important clues about how life first developed on our planet and how it might arise elsewhere in the universe.
“All living organisms need nitrogen to survive and, though it’s all around us, we can’t access it directly,” says Utah State University biochemist Lance Seefeldt. “Enzymes called nitrogenases enable nitrogen fixation, which converts nitrogen to a form plants, animals, humans, and other life forms can access. And we’re just beginning to understand the extent to which, over the Earth’s four-billion-year history, these nitrogenases have evolved.”
Scientists Take a Major Step Toward Solving the Mystery of the Universe’s Rarest Isotopes
A new experiment using rare-isotope beams has provided new insight into the origin of proton-rich isotopes known as p-nuclei.
NASA’s Psyche Could Reveal the Secret Inside This Metal World
A massive crater on asteroid Psyche may hold the key to whether it’s a lost planet’s core or something more complex. New simulations suggest NASA’s upcoming mission could finally solve the mystery.
Interlock Ransomware Exploits Cisco FMC Zero-Day CVE-2026–20131 for Root Access
Interlock ransomware is actively exploiting CVE-2026–20131 (CVSS 10.0) in Cisco FMC, enabling unauthenticated remote code execution as root.
Aura confirms data breach exposing 900,000 marketing contacts
Identity protection company Aura has confirmed that an unauthorized party gained access to nearly 900,000 customer records containing names and email addresses.
The company states that the incident was caused by a voice phishing attack targeting an employee, which exposed the sensitive data of 20,000 current and 15,000 former customers.
In a communication this week, Aura states that the data originated from a marketing tool used by a company acquired by Aura in 2021, which exposed limited information.
New “Darksword” iOS exploit used in infostealer attack on iPhones
A new exploit kit for iOS devices and delivery framework dubbed “DarkSword” has been used to steal a wide range of personal information, including data from cryptocurrency wallet apps.
DarkSword targets iPhones running iOS 18.4 through 18.7 and is linked to multiple actors, including UNC6353, suspected to be Russian, who used the Coruna exploit chain disclosed earlier this month.
Researchers at mobile security company Lookout discovered DarkSword while investigating the infrastructure used for the Coruna attacks. Google’s Threat Intelligence Group and iVerify also collaborated for a more comprehensive analysis of this previously unknown threat and the adversaries leveraging it.
