In the future, tiny flying robots could be deployed to aid in the search for survivors trapped beneath the rubble after a devastating earthquake. Like real insects, these robots could flit through tight spaces larger robots can’t reach, while simultaneously dodging stationary obstacles and pieces of falling rubble.So far, aerial microrobots have only been able to fly slowly along smooth trajectories, far from the swift, agile flight of real insects — until now.MIT researchers have demonstrated aerial microrobots that can fly with speed and agility that is comparable to their biological counterparts. A collaborative team designed a new AI-based controller…
Endpoint decoys are realistic but fake artifacts placed inside systems. These can include fake credentials, mapped drives, service accounts, files, or registry entries. From an attacker’s perspective, they look legitimate.Now think about how an attacker behaves post-compromise. They search for credentials. They look for lateral movement paths. They enumerate systems. When they touch a decoy credential or attempt to use a fake mapped drive, they reveal themselves.Legitimate users never access these assets because they don’t serve real operational purposes. So interaction becomes a high-confidence signal. There’s no need to rely on suspicious patterns alone.This early interaction often happens during reconnaissance.…
The startup is carving a niche in the pet food industry by doing good The global pet food industry has long been dominated by multinational giants like Hill’s and Eukanuba. And for decades, pet owners have been hauling 10-20kg bags of dry kibble from brick-and-mortar stores—lugging them home, dragging them upstairs, and finding space for them in already-cramped kitchens. It was this exact hassle that sparked an idea for two friends. Ryan Black, 34, and Chris Lee, 40, were living and working in Hong Kong when they began questioning why buying dog food had to be so cumbersome and whether…
If you’re driving in an F1 race and hitting speeds of 220 mph (354 kph), you really don’t want parts of the car falling off as you hurtle along, or, more importantly, to suffer nerve damage because of a problem with your vehicle. But that’s exactly what’s happening with Aston Martin’s car, leaving drivers Fernando Alonso and Lance Stroll unlikely to finish the first race of the new F1 season in Australia on Sunday. In testing, the car, powered by a Honda engine, has been vibrating so badly that parts of it have been dropping off, with the vibrations reaching…
The emergence of autonomous AI agents has dramatically shifted the conversation from chatbots to AI employees. Where chatbots answer questions, AI employees execute tasks, persist over time, and interact with the digital world on our behalf. OpenClaw, an open‑source agent runtime that connects large language models (LLMs) like GPT‑4o and Claude Opus to everyday apps, sits at the heart of this shift. Its creator, Peter Steinberger, describes OpenClaw as “an AI that actually does things”, and by February 2026 more than 1.5 million agents were running on the platform. This article explains how OpenClaw transforms LLMs into AI employees, what…
Ravie LakshmananMar 05, 2026Vulnerability / Enterprise Security Cisco has disclosed that two more vulnerabilities affecting Catalyst SD-WAN Manager (formerly SD-WAN vManage) have come under active exploitation in the wild. The vulnerabilities in question are listed below – CVE-2026-20122 (CVSS score: 7.1) – An arbitrary file overwrite vulnerability that could allow an authenticated, remote attacker to overwrite arbitrary files on the local file system. Successful exploitation requires the attacker to have valid read-only credentials with API access on the affected system. CVE-2026-20128 (CVSS score: 5.5) – An information disclosure vulnerability that could allow an authenticated, local attacker to gain Data Collection…
On February 28, United States and Israeli forces launched a series of strikes on Iran, kicking off turmoil in the Middle East.Pete Hegseth, the secretary of the Department of Defense, said in a recent press conference that the operation could last as long as eight weeks. President Donald Trump himself said in a press conference on March 2 that the administration projected the operation would last four or five weeks but had “the capability to go far longer than that.”This week Iran has responded in turn, attacking Israel, regional US embassies and military bases, and other sites across the Middle…

(UW Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship Photo / Matt Hagen) A team of students from the University of Washington took home the top prize in the Hollomon Health Innovation Challenge on Wednesday as the UW swept the 11th annual competition. CPRight won the $15,000 Holloman Family grand prize as well as the $2,500 Naturacur Wound Healing Best Idea for a Medical Device prize in the student competition. CPRight is a real-time…
Over the past 18 months, the enterprise technology narrative has been dominated by a singular, persistent theme: artificial intelligence, more specifically agentic AI. From CES to NRF to the World Economic Forum, every vendor, service provider and analyst firm has been preaching the gospel of AI. Yet if we pull back the curtain on the actual state of AI agent deployments, a different story emerges. Though the vision and ambition are there, the execution is lagging. The data supports this observation. Despite nearly 80% of organizations experimenting with agentic AI in the last year, a significant portion of these projects…
To make large language models (LLMs) more accurate when answering harder questions, researchers can let the model spend more time thinking about potential solutions.But common approaches that give LLMs this capability set a fixed computational budget for every problem, regardless of how complex it is. This means the LLM might waste computational resources on simpler questions or be unable to tackle intricate problems that require more reasoning.To address this, MIT researchers developed a smarter way to allocate computational effort as the LLM solves a problem. Their method enables the model to dynamically adjust its computational budget based on the difficulty of…
