The 20th European Sustainable Energy Week (EUSEW) will be held from 9 to 11 June 2026 under the overarching theme “Clean, Safe and Competitive Energy Union”, the European Commission has announced. EUSEW (Europe’s largest annual gathering focused on renewable energy and efficient energy use), to be held in Brussels and online, will highlight the importance of building a secure and resilient energy union and delivering clean and affordable energy. The EUUSEW Policy Conference will feature more than 60 dynamic and innovative sessions hosted by the clean energy community. Next to the policy sessions, the event will offer keynote speeches, the…
Anthropic researchers claim that Chinese state-sponsored spy groups have used Claude artificial intelligence (AI) to automate most of their cyberattack campaigns, but the news has caused equal parts alarm and skepticism. In light of the research, the cybersecurity community is trying to figure out what actually happened and how autonomous the model actually was.Company representatives said in a statement on November 13 that their engineers disrupted what they described as a “nearly autonomous” operation that used large-scale language models (LLMs) to plan and execute approximately 80-90% of a wide range of reconnaissance and exploitation operations against 30 organizations around the…
An image-only artificial intelligence (AI) model for predicting five-year breast cancer risk provided stronger and more accurate risk stratification than breast density assessment, according to a new study. Constance Lehman, lead author and professor of radiology at Harvard Medical School, said traditional methods of assessing a woman’s breast cancer risk, such as age, family history, genetics and breast density, are inadequate. “More than 2 million women are diagnosed with breast cancer each year, and for most it’s a complete shock,” she says. “Only 5 to 10 percent of breast cancer cases are thought to be hereditary, and breast density alone…
Europe’s leading animal sector organizations are sounding the alarm over the growing burden of animal disease and are calling on the EU to abandon reactive models of crisis management in favor of bold prevention-first strategies. Partners across Europe’s animal sector are calling for an urgent shift in how the EU deals with animal diseases, insisting that prevention, not response, must be the basis of future policy. As outbreaks become more severe and costly, industry leaders say the current reliance on mass culling is unsustainable for farmers, the economy and animal welfare. Rising outbreaks highlight the cost of inaction In recent…
Nov 27, 2025Ravie LakshmananCybersecurity / Hacking News Hackers have been busy again this week. From fake voice calls and AI-powered malware to huge money-laundering busts and new scams, there’s a lot happening in the cyber world. Criminals are getting creative — using smart tricks to steal data, sound real, and hide in plain sight. But they’re not the only ones moving fast. Governments and security teams are fighting back, shutting down fake networks, banning risky projects, and tightening digital defenses. Here’s a quick look at what’s making waves this week — the biggest hacks, the new threats, and the wins…
A research team at Graz University of Technology has developed a new way to improve the efficiency of aircraft engines using an in-house AI-supported model. With its Flightpath 2050 strategy, the European Commission has outlined a framework for the aviation industry to reduce emissions and fuel and energy consumption, requiring more efficient aircraft engines. The ARIADNE project has created the basis for achieving the desired efficiency gains more quickly. Researchers combined years of flow data on intermediate turbine ducts with AI and machine learning. This led to the development of a model that more quickly and efficiently tests the effect…
EUMETSAT is deepening its global influence in Earth observation with three new international agreements aimed at accelerating scientific innovation and securing the flow of vital satellite data. New agreements were signed with the German Aerospace Center (DLR) and the UK’s National Center for Earth Observation (NCEO), as well as a new partnership with China’s National Satellite and Ocean Application Service (NSOAS). These partnerships will strengthen the global exchange of satellite data and accelerate advances in ocean, atmosphere, and climate monitoring. As the organization responsible for distributing satellite-based weather and climate information to 30 European member states, EUMETSAT relies on strong…
Researchers at the Icahn School of Medicine at Mount Sinai have reported early success with a new mRNA-based therapy designed to combat antibiotic-resistant infections. The findings show that in preclinical studies using mouse and human lung tissue in the lab, the treatment slowed the growth of antibiotic-resistant bacteria, enhanced immune cell activity, and reduced lung tissue damage in a model of multidrug-resistant pneumonia. “Our study suggests there may be new avenues to tackle antibiotic-resistant infections by supporting the immune system more directly,” said Shuchen Hou, Ph.D., lead author of the study and assistant professor of immunology and immunotherapy at Mount…
After decades of speculation and indirect clues, scientists may finally be closing in on one of the universe’s deepest mysteries: dark matter. New analysis from NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope suggests that the elusive material long believed to bind galaxies together may finally be making its presence known through subtle but unmistakable signals. If confirmed, this breakthrough discovery could reshape our understanding of the universe and usher in a new era in particle physics and astronomy. A century-long mystery surrounding dark matter The search for dark matter began in the early 1930s, when Swiss astronomer Fritz Zwicky noticed something strange.…
November 27, 2025Ravi LakshmananRansomware/Cloud Security Gainsight has revealed that recent suspicious activity targeting its applications is impacting more customers than previously thought. The company said Salesforce initially provided a list of three affected customers, but as of November 21, 2025, it had “expanded to a larger list.” The company did not reveal the exact number of customers affected, but CEO Chuck Ganapati said, “At this time, we are only aware of a few customers whose data has been affected.” The development comes after Salesforce warned that it had detected “anomalous activity” related to Gainsight published applications connected to the platform,…
