GitHub is updating its bug bounty program by raising the quality standards for submissions, requiring a working proof of concept with demonstrated security impact, validation before submission, and awareness of scope and…
The Mayo Clinic is using "Ambient Listening" technology to record patient interactions with nurses in emergency rooms, with the data processed by AI. The recording system is opt-out rather than opt-in, meaning some patie…
The article describes the photographic documentation of the Trinity test, the first atomic bomb detonation on July 16, 1945. Photographer Berlyn Brixner, stationed in a bunker, captured the explosion using Mitchell and F…
IBM has released two new multilingual embedding models under the Apache 2.0 license, built on ModernBERT: a compact 97M-parameter model and a full-size 311M-parameter model. Both support over 200 languages, handle contex…
A zero-day exploit called YellowKey allows attackers with physical access to a Windows 11 system to bypass default BitLocker encryption protections and access encrypted drive contents within seconds. The exploit involves…
The current debate over AI alignment is conducted primarily by researchers and tech leaders, while the people whose lives and jobs will be most affected by AI are excluded from the design process. It criticizes both "doo…
The IEEE Communications Society (ComSoc) launched its Research Collaboration Pitch Session initiative to connect academic researchers with industry leaders from companies like Ericsson, Intel, and Nokia for funding and m…
The article, sponsored by Applied Materials, argues that the AI era demands a new, collaborative innovation model for the semiconductor industry, as traditional siloed approaches cannot keep pace with the need for energy…
The article explains that RF coexistence testing is becoming critical due to increasing spectrum congestion from over 30 billion devices and expanding cellular bands, which threatens wireless reliability. It highlights r…
Synchronous continuous batching in LLM inference causes inefficiency by forcing the CPU and GPU to work sequentially, leaving one idle while the other operates. This idle time can account for nearly a quarter of total ru…
Google Cloud has developed a method to significantly accelerate and reduce the cost of LLM-powered SQL functions in databases by using lightweight "proxy models." These proxy models, which are trained on-the-fly and util…
According to a November report from the International Telecommunication Union, nearly 30 percent of the global population—over 2 billion people—still lack Internet access. To address this, the IEEE Future Networks’ Conne…
On May 11, 2026, Apple released security updates for iOS, iPadOS, and macOS to patch two kernel-level vulnerabilities (CVE-2026-28972 and CVE-2026-28986) discovered by Xint researchers. The first flaw was an out-of-bound…
"Co-Scientist," a multi-agent AI system designed to accelerate research by functioning as a collaborative partner. The project was led by researchers including Juraj Gottweis and Vivek Natarajan, with contributions from …
The article describes a bug in Cloudflare's QUIC implementation (quiche) where the CUBIC congestion control algorithm's congestion window (cwnd) becomes permanently stuck at its minimum value after a period of heavy pack…
Error vector magnitude (EVM) is the primary metric for quantifying modulation accuracy in wireless systems like Wi-Fi, LTE, and 5G NR, measuring the distance between ideal and measured constellation points. The article e…
The article argues that poor pedagogy in mathematics is a significant problem not only in primary and secondary schools but also at the graduate and professional levels. It claims that many graduate-level mathematics tex…
The article distinguishes between two types of abstraction in system design: modularity abstraction, which hides internal details behind interfaces to simplify usage, and modeling abstraction, which reduces a system to i…
Ana Inês Inácio, an IEEE senior member and research scientist at the Netherlands Organization for Applied Scientific Research (TNO), designs integrated circuits for next-generation RF sensor systems that advance radar an…
Based on the article, Geekbench 6 is a consumer-focused benchmark suite distributed in binary form that heavily utilizes modern CPU instruction set extensions like AVX-512 and AMX, particularly in workloads such as Backg…
