Groundbreaking Technology Uses Acoustic Waves to Move Living Cells Without Contact This innovation could replace bulky lab equipment, revolutionizing drug discovery and enabling rapid, personalized treatment testing. Born from a student project levitating diamonds, the tech has evolved into a compa

Scientists have created solar cells using simulated Moon dust, potentially solving one of space exploration’s biggest challenges: how to generate reliable energy far from Earth.

These new cells, made with perovskite and moonglass, are lighter, cheaper, and more radiation-resistant than traditional space solar panels. Even better, they can be made using lunar materials, drastically reducing launch costs and making future Moon bases more feasible. If successful in real lunar conditions, these Moon-made solar panels could power entire off-world colonies.

Powering Space with Moon Dust.

Researchers have discovered that the underside of the North American continent is slowly dripping away in blobs of rock. The remnants of a tectonic plate sinking into the Earth’s mantle may be the cause of this phenomenon.

A maximum severity remote code execution (RCE) vulnerability has been discovered impacting all versions of Apache Parquet up to and including 1.15.0.

The problem stems from the deserialization of untrusted data that could allow attackers with specially crafted Parquet files to gain control of target systems, exfiltrate or modify data, disrupt services, or introduce dangerous payloads such as ransomware.

The vulnerability is tracked under CVE-2025–30065 and has a CVSS v4 score of 10.0. The flaw was fixed with the release of Apache version 1.15.1.

The Hunters International Ransomware-as-a-Service (RaaS) operation is shutting down and rebranding with plans to switch to date theft and extortion-only attacks.

As threat intelligence firm Group-IB revealed this week, the cybercrime group remained active despite announcing on November 17, 2024, that it was shutting down due to declining profitability and increased government scrutiny.

Since then, Hunters International has launched a new extortion-only operation known as “World Leaks” on January 1, 2025.

Many players question the choice, especially considering the games that come after Shenmue in the poll. We have DOOM, Super Mario Bros., Half-Life, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time, and Minecraft following the winner, which all seem reasonable until you see who took the 7th place.

Apparently, a couple of months is enough for Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 to get influence in the industry, at least according to gamers. I mean, it’s a great game, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t think it’s enough to make it influential. As it usually is, it looks like some people took this opportunity to simply vote for their favorite recent games.
