AI-driven research is making titanium 3D-printing faster, stronger, and more efficient, transforming aerospace and defense manufacturing.
Producing high-performance titanium alloy.
A mixture of two metallic elements typically used to give greater strength or higher resistance to corrosion.
Cells in the developing heart must find the perfect match, much like a game of microscopic speed dating.
Using filopodia—tiny tentacle-like structures—they probe their environment and latch onto potential partners. If they mismatch, proteins step in to separate them, ensuring precise alignment. Researchers modeled this process in fruit flies, uncovering the delicate balance of adhesive energy and elasticity that guides cell organization.
How developing heart cells find their perfect match.
From across the Milky Way galaxy, something has been sending out signals.
Every two hours or so, a pulse of radio waves ripples through space-time, appearing in data going back years. Now a team of astronomers led by Iris de Ruiter of the University of Sydney has identified the source of this mystery signal – and it’s something we’ve never seen before.
Around 1,645 light-years from Earth sits a binary star system, containing a white dwarf and a red dwarf on such a close orbit that each revolution smacks their magnetic fields together, producing a burst of radio waves our telescopes can detect. This source has been named ILT J110160.52+552119.62 (ILT J1101+5521).
A critical FreeType vulnerability (CVE-2025–27363) with a CVSS 8.1 score may be actively exploited—update to 2.13.3 now for protection.
Firefox users must update to version 128 before March 14 to prevent add-on failures and security risks.
GreyNoise reports 400+ IPs exploiting multiple SSRF vulnerabilities, targeting cloud services and global networks. Patch now.
Microsoft fixes 57 security flaws, including six zero-days exploited in the wild. CISA mandates patches by April 1.
Facebook is warning that a FreeType vulnerability in all versions up to 2.13 can lead to arbitrary code execution, with reports that the flaw has been exploited in attacks.
FreeType is a popular open-source font rendering library used to display text and programmatically add text to images. It provides functionality to load, rasterize, and render fonts in various formats, such as TrueType (TTF), OpenType (OTF), and others.
The library is installed in millions of systems and services, including Linux, Android, game engines, GUI frameworks, and online platforms.
From 2035, the Einstein Telescope will be able to study gravitational waves with unprecedented accuracy. For the telescope, researchers from Jena have manufactured highly sensitive sensors made entirely of glass for the first time.
Gravitational waves are distortions of space-time caused by extreme astrophysical events, such as the collision of black holes. These waves propagate at the speed of light and carry valuable information about such events throughout the universe. In the future, the Einstein Telescope will measure these waves with unprecedented precision, making it a world-leading instrument for detecting gravitational waves.
In order to minimize the impact of noise on the measurements, the telescope is to be built up to 300 meters underground. But even there, there are still mechanical vibrations, caused, for example, by distant earthquakes or road traffic above ground. Highly sensitive vibration sensors will measure these remaining vibrations.
Japanese scientists have created diamond quantum sensors that can monitor EV batteries with great precision to help improve efficiency.
