The MIT Quantum Initiative (QMIT) has launched a new postdoctoral fellowship program to accelerate interdisciplinary quantum research and develop the next generation of scientific leaders working at the frontiers of quantum science and technology.Supported by a grant from the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, the program reflects QMIT’s vision of expanding the boundaries of quantum science by encouraging researchers to connect quantum approaches with other disciplines and emerging applications. As opportunities in quantum research expand, investing in outstanding early-career researchers has never been more important. These fellowships are designed to help cultivate the next generation of quantum leaders, providing the resources and…
A fake GTA 6 demo circulating through convincing Rockstar Games lookalike sites is actually password-stealing malware. No legitimate Grand Theft Auto VI demo is available to download, and Rockstar has not announced a PC version. The scam matters beyond gaming accounts because the malware targets information stored in web browsers, including passwords, cookies, and authenticated sessions. If the affected browser is also used for email, work apps, banking, or shopping, those accounts may be exposed too. How the fake GTA 6 demo scam works Malwarebytes identified a network of sites impersonating Rockstar Games and promoting a supposed GTA 6 demo.…

From airline deals to hotel discounts, businesses are profiting from fitness races all over the world There’s a new reason Singaporeans are booking flights, and it’s not for the beach or a bowl of ramen. It’s a start line. In Aug 2026, more than 20,000 athletes, including those from Singapore, turned up in Bangkok for what organisers called the biggest HYROX race in Asia’s history. It was four days of runs and workouts that test endurance at the Queen Sirikit National Convention Centre, up from three days and roughly 17,500 racers just months earlier in Mar. Singapore had already had…
Most marketing teams are using AI to do the same work faster. That, says Liza Adams, is the wrong goal. Doing things differently is where growth happens.
Enterprise infrastructure strategy is being rewritten around the private AI cloud, as security exposure, spiking hardware prices and rising token costs push artificial intelligence workloads back inside the data center. What started as a virtualization refresh has become the main event for on-premises computing. That shift has put platform consolidation at the center of enterprise buying decisions, a theme running through this year’s VMware Explore. Broadcom Inc. has spent three years folding VMware’s accumulated products into a single stack, and customers ranging from small businesses to United Airlines, Audi and the London Stock Exchange are now running on it, according…

NVIDIA suspended a controversial program that claimed 50% of partner cloud revenues. NVIDIA just hit the brakes on one of its most aggressive financial experiments. Less than two months after launching a novel financing program for AI cloud startups, the chip titan paused new deals following employee warnings about severe antitrust risks. NVIDIA introduced a unique financing model to help specialized cloud providers purchase its high-end GPUs in July. The chip manufacturer then offered credit support to these smaller partners. But it demanded a 50% cut of cloud revenues earned above a set threshold as exchange, retaining the right to…
It all started with some exasperated emails. Back in 2009, a group of researchers began venting their frustration with the programming languages designed to help scientists and other researchers perform complex mathematical operations and statistical simulations without learning how to code. These programming languages were rigid and slow. If scientists built something that really worked, they’d need to rewrite the entire program in another language just to run it more quickly.The emails turned into a research project at MIT with the mission of building an easy-to-use, high-performance programming language called Julia, which is designed for scientific research, data analysis, and…
People still swear by this quirky controller, leading to Nintendo supporting it for 25 years and counting. Luza Studios/Getty Images As the GameCube (GCN) turns 25 this year, there’s no better testament to its legacy than the controller. Despite Nintendo experimenting with various input methods in the years since, every one of its ensuing home consoles has officially supported a GameCube pad. And the company has re-released it in new editions multiple times. A combination of factors led to popularity long after the console left production. It was perfect for games designed for GameCube, became synonymous…
