KIMS has developed the world’s first highly flexible and ultra-sensitive ammonia sensor technology, utilizing a low-temperature synthesized copper bromide film. A research team from the Energy & Environmental Materials Research Division at the Korea Institute of Materials Science (KIMS), led
Microsoft is investigating an ongoing outage that is blocking admins worldwide from accessing the Exchange Admin Center (EAC).
The company tagged this ongoing issue as a critical service issue tracked under EX1051697 on the Microsoft 365 Admin Center, and it says that “at this time appears to be a global issue.”
Since the outage started two hours ago, affected IT administrators have reported seeing “HTTP Error 500” errors when attempting to log into the Exchange admin center portal.
Meta warned Windows users to update the WhatsApp messaging app to the latest version to patch a vulnerability that can let attackers execute malicious code on their devices.
Described as a spoofing issue and tracked as CVE-2025–30401, this security flaw can be exploited by attackers by sending maliciously crafted files with altered file types to potential targets.
Meta says the vulnerability impacted all WhatsApp versions and has been fixed with the release of WhatsApp 2.2450.6.
Google has quietly launched Firebase Studio, which is a cloud-based AI-powered integrated development environment that lets you build full-fledged apps using prompts.
Google’s Firebase Studio comes at an interesting time when Cursor AI is storming the “vibe coding” trend.
Cursor AI, reportedly valued at $10 billion, is an AI-powered integrated development environment that integrates AI features directly into the coding environment, so you can vibe code your app without programming knowledge.
Breakthrough allows researchers to create materials with tailored properties, unlocking unprecedented control over their optical and electronic properties.
A large study of ADHD medications reveals small increases in blood pressure and heart rate. Despite concerns, these changes are generally not clinically significant. The findings suggest that cardiovascular monitoring is still important.
Hong & colleagues found that PPARd expression in endothelial cells is essential to maintain pulmonary vascular barrier integrity upon injury.
A new, AI-powered test can detect the molecular “fingerprints” of cancer in a patient’s blood using flashes of infrared light.
Results of a study show convergent genetic adaptation under hypoxia (lack of oxygen) between populations living at high-altitude in the Himalayan region such as Tibetans and Sherpas, and the development of oxygen-starved cancer cells. The study was directed by Rodrigo Toledo, Head of the Vall d’Hebron Institute of Oncology’s (VHIO) Biomarkers and Clonal Dynamics Group and published in the journal Cancer Discovery.
Patients with cyanotic congenital heart disease (CCHD) are chronically hypoxic and have an estimated six-fold higher risk of developing pheochromocytoma and paraganglioma (PPGL), which are associated with neuroendocrine tumors (NETs) of the adrenal glands and/or paraganglia, respectively. These cancers can continue to grow and proliferate under chronic hypoxia.
“With this study, we aimed to achieve deeper insights into how tumors can survive, grow, and even metastasize under low oxygen conditions, known as hypoxia. Our findings reveal a broad convergence in genetic adaptation in tumors that continue to develop and grow under hypoxia, and in high-altitude populations who thrive in such a challenging environment,” said Toledo, corresponding author of this present article.
Black holes are fundamental to the structure of galaxies and critical in our understanding of gravity, space, and time. A stellar mass black hole is a type of black hole that forms from the gravitational collapse of a massive star at the end of its life cycle. These black holes typically have masses ranging from about 3 to 20 times the mass of our sun.
Sometimes black holes generate beams of ionized gas (plasma) that shoot outward at nearly light speed. Although discovered more than a century ago, how and why jets occur has remained a mystery, described as one of the “wonders of physics.”
Prof. Kazutaka Yamaoka from Nagoya University in Japan, along with his colleagues from the University of Toyama and other international institutes, have discovered key conditions needed for a stellar black hole to create plasma jets. Their findings, published in Publications of the Astronomical Society of Japan, show that when superheated gas material experiences a rapid shrinkage toward the black hole, jet formation occurs.
