The Space Launch System will start rolling out to its launchpad a few days ahead of schedule. It is headed to space for the first time as early as August 29th.
The company StoryLife developed technology Holographic Conversational Video Experience that allows you to communicate with holograms of deceased relatives.
What we know
A U.S. startup has learned how to create a digital clone of a person before they die. It uses two dozen synchronized cameras to do so. They record answers to questions and then the resulting material is used to train artificial intelligence.
We’ve got a cybersecurity problem, but it’s not the one we think we have. The problem is how we think about cybersecurity problems.

The problem is not that there are problems. The problem is expecting otherwise and thinking that having problems is a problem.

Scientists have reversed the direction of time with a quantum computer.
The breakthrough study seems to contradict basic laws of physics and could alter our understanding of the processes governing the universe.
In a development that also represents a major advance in our understanding of quantum computers, by using electrons and the strange world of quantum mechanics, researchers were able to turn back time in an experiment that is the equivalent of causing a broken rack of pool balls to go back into place.
Exploit code has been released for a critical vulnerability affecting networking devices with Realtek’s RTL819x system on a chip (SoC), which are estimated to be in the millions.
The flaw is identified as CVE-2022–27255 and a remote attacker could exploit it to compromise vulnerable devices from various original equipment manufacturers (OEMs), ranging from routers and access points to signal repeaters.
Almost 7 million users have attempted to install malicious browser extensions since 2020, with 70% of those extensions used as adware to target users with advertisements.
The most common payloads carried by malicious web browser extensions during the first half of 2022 belonged to adware families, snooping on browsing activity and promoting affiliate links.
This finding is based on telemetry data collected by Kaspersky, which reports over 1,300,000 attempts by users to install malicious extensions throughout H1 ‘22, an increase compared to last year’s figures.
Carnegie Mellon researchers have developed an open-source software that enables more agile movement in legged robots.
Robots can help humans with tasks like aiding disaster recovery efforts or monitoring the environment. In the case of quadrupeds, robots that walk on four legs, their mobility requires many software components to work together seamlessly. Most researchers must spend much of their time developing lower-level infrastructure instead of focusing on high-level behaviors.

Color coding makes aerial maps much more easily understood. Through color, we can tell at a glance where there is a road, forest, desert, city, river or lake.
Working with several universities, the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) Argonne National Laboratory has devised a method for creating color-coded graphs of large volumes of data from X-ray analysis. This new tool uses computational data sorting to find clusters related to physical properties, such as an atomic distortion in a crystal structure. It should greatly accelerate future research on structural changes on the atomic scale induced by varying temperature.
The research team published their findings in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences in an article titled “Harnessing interpretable and unsupervised machine learning to address big data from modern X-ray diffraction.”
