A huge cybercriminal campaign has been spotted utilizing outdated and vulnerable Windows drivers to deploy malware against victims. The campaign originated in China, and the majority of the victims are also located in China.
An in-depth article published by cybersecurity researchers Check Point said the attackers identified a vulnerability in the Truesight.sys driver, version 2.0.2. This is an older version, known to allow arbitrary process termination.
A privately built spacecraft is hours from attempting to land on the moon, a feat that only one other company has accomplished in spaceflight history.
The robotic lander, dubbed Blue Ghost, has been in orbit around the moon for roughly two weeks, preparing for its daring descent. Texas-based company Firefly Aerospace developed the spacecraft, which aims to touch down on the lunar surface early Sunday at around 3:34 a.m. ET.
If all goes according to plan, Blue Ghost will become the second privately built vehicle to land on the moon successfully. In February 2024, another Texas-based company, Intuitive Machines, made history when its Odysseus lander pulled off a nail-biting touchdown near the moon’s south pole.
Ultra–high-power particle pulses could boost x-ray science and laboratory astrophysics.
I was called to science to seek a truth that transcended humanity. What I found instead is much more rewarding.
Google’s quantum computer performs calculation in 5 minutes that would take longer than the universe’s existence for a supercomputerPosted in quantum physics, supercomputing | Leave a Comment on Google’s quantum computer performs calculation in 5 minutes that would take longer than the universe’s existence for a supercomputer
Google’s new quantum computer solved a calculation in five minutes that would take longer than the universe’s existence to solve with a regular supercomputer. The time it would take the supercomputer to do the calculation is nearly a million billion times longer than the age of the universe.
As people rely more and more on artificial intelligence for recommendations on everything from product purchases to trip planning, brands are figuring out the new rules of the road.
Figure fast-tracks home testing for Figure 2 humanoid robot, powered by Helix AI.
Figure plans to start testing its humanoid robots in homes much sooner than expected.
The California-based startup’s CEO, Brett Adcock, revealed that it will begin alpha testing its Figure 2 robot in residential settings in late 2025.

Researchers have discovered that incipient ferroelectricity can revolutionize computer memory, enabling ultra-low power devices.
These unique transistors shift behavior based on temperature, making them suitable for both traditional memory and neuromorphic computing, which mimics the brain’s energy efficiency. The use of strontium titanate thin films reveals unexpected ferroelectric-like properties, hinting at new possibilities in advanced electronics.
