Ransomware, supply chain, cloud security, AI powered hacking, IoT botnets, quantum, credential stuffing, API vulnerabilities, critical infrastructure and deepfakes.
Swarm of tiny snail robots stick together to form new structures
https://www.popsci.com/technology/snail-robot/
Researchers have built a swarm of miniature, snail-inspired robots, minus all the mucus. Instead, a retractable suction cup works in tandem with the remote-controlled machine’s tank-like treads to maneuver across both difficult terrain and over each other.
Half grain-sized brain tissue with 1400 TB data mapped by Harvard, Google
https://interestingengineering.com/science/brain-map-1400-tb-harvard
A single cubic millimeter of human brain tissue. It might seem insignificant, but within that tiny space lies a universe of complexity—57,000 individual cells, 230 millimeters of blood vessels, and a staggering 150 million synapses.
There Are Things That Machines Can’t Do (And Never Will)
https://digitaltonto.com/2024/there-are-things-that-machines-cant-do-and-never-will/
The key to winning in the era of AI is not to try to compete with machines, but to become more human, to be a better listener, collaborator and to support other humans as they work to identify and pursue their own intentions and ambitions.
The US Is Cracking Down on Synthetic DNA
https://www.wired.com/story/synthetic-dna-us-biden-regulation/
Artificially generated DNA allows researchers to do all sorts of things—develop diagnostic tests, make beneficial enzymes to eat up plastic, or engineer potent antibodies to treat disease—without having to extract natural sequences from organisms
