The chip also uses resistive RAM, or RRAM, a type of nonvolatile memory that Huang says is designed to make physical extraction of stored data more difficult than conventional flash memory. With flash memory, he says, “if you de-layer it down to the actual flash cells … you can just see the ones and zeros literally on these chips.” Huang is cautious, however, about overhyping the chip’s security capabilities. He estimates that it could withstand attacks involving tens of thousands of dollars in resources, but says an adversary with millions of dollars and a sophisticated hardware-analysis lab could likely defeat…

Choi asked again on August 19. No document arrived. In September, the Honor Committee sent out its “official notification letter” telling Rignol that he was accused of “improperly utiliz[ing] AI on the final exam in [his] course.” The committee wanted to meet in October; Rignol told them he was getting married in Europe and asked to postpone. The request was granted. In early November, just days before the hearing, Rignol was back from Europe and arguing about the committee’s composition. He said that its student members should be recused unless they had worked through the same courses and problem sets…

Following Farage’s difficulties, Labour is also now losing fewer of its 2024 voters to Reform. But the same is true of the Conservatives, whose loss of support to Reform in the polls during in this parliament has always been much greater than that suffered by Labour. Far from suffering from a Burnham bounce, Kemi Badenoch’s party has edged up to 20% in the polls for the first time since last spring.Burnham’s arrival has given Labour new hope. But despite having overtaken Reform in the polls, the new Labour leader still has to prove he can win back the working class…

Netflix has been sued after admitting that an unencrypted drive containing an unreleased, hotly anticipated 2026 blockbuster starring Nicolas Cage was stolen from its offices. In a lawsuit filed Wednesday, Netflix was accused of waiting a week to warn the production company, Op-Fortitude, that the movie, Fortitude, was swiped, along with other drives that were “stolen right off a Netflix desk.” “Someone stole a good amount of drives from our office desks this past week,” Sean Berney, director of Netflix Original Film, said in an email to a production company representative after several attempts to get Netflix to return the…

Sony is “cautiously” moving forward with plans to stop producing discs for PlayStation games as of January 2028, CFO Lin Tao said through an interpreter today. During an earnings call, Tao said there are “various reasons” for Sony’s decision, with the biggest being that the “digitalization of overall has been progressing.” “When we think about the future, and we put in a lot of thought and time, and we cautiously considered this, and we came to this conclusion. And we’re going to cautiously move this forward,” Tao said. Sony’s announcement this month has drawn backlash from gamers and big names…

While recycling is a mathematically obvious response to the finite, non-renewable nature of many resources, the economic math is often challenging. For many materials, it can be hard to compete with virgin materials on a cost basis. Fast-moving technologies like electric vehicles throw in an added complication: By the time a car is scrapped, the industry may have moved on to a different battery chemistry. That reduces the value of recycling the car’s battery back into the production chain. Still, a study led by Xin Xiong at Nanjing University finds that in China, recycling could become the dominant source of…

In the five months since the Iran war began on Feb. 28, each pause in fighting has underscored the complexities of ending it.The June 17 memorandum of understanding opened a 60-day negotiating period over the Strait of Hormuz, sanctions and Iran’s nuclear and missile programs, but frayed within weeks as Iranian attacks on shipping prompted escalation.The U.S. resumed strikes for 13 consecutive nights until it paused on July 24, only for the fighting to resume on Tuesday, with strikes overnight on Wednesday and Thursday. Iran’s army said on Friday it had launched attacks on strategic U.S. assets and military bases…

The solution Tang’s team arrived at starts with the way infrared light is registered in the first place. Selective quantum dots Bulk semiconductors routinely used in IR detectors have continuous energy bands, which means they absorb a broad, undifferentiated swath of the infrared spectrum. This doesn’t preserve much information about which specific wavelength arrived. The mercury telluride colloidal quantum dots the Chinese team picked for their device behave differently. Due to their tiny size, roughly 4 nanometers across, quantum confinement breaks their energy levels into discrete steps rather than a continuous chunk. Photons of different infrared wavelengths and intensities excite…
