People in Silicon Valley tend to dismiss the startup market across the pond as too small or not hungry enough, a sentiment not unlike how Europeans view their potential. This year’s annual Slush conference in Helsinki showed a venture market that feels on the brink of transformation, poised for the first trillion-dollar startups. Founders, venture investors and government officials alike acknowledged the obstacles that have traditionally prevented Europe from reaching its true size and potential. For years, European founders have moved to the United States to start their companies or exited earlier than necessary because they operated in markets lacking…

Since you’re busy, here’s a quick read about the great things about Samsung Galaxy devices and the Knox Suite. Security is built in and management is simplified. Samsung Galaxy devices include…
A China-linked threat actor known as APT24 has been observed using previously undocumented malware known as BADAUDIO to establish persistent remote access to compromised networks as part of a nearly three-year campaign. “While previous operations relied on a wide range of strategic web breaches to compromise legitimate websites, APT24 recently pivoted to using more sophisticated vectors to target organizations in Taiwan,” said Google Threat Intelligence Group (GTIG) researchers Harsh Parashar, Tierra Duncan, and Dan Perez. “This includes repeated compromises of regional digital marketing companies and the use of targeted phishing campaigns to carry out supply chain attacks.” APT24, also known…
Linda Bedenik, Senior Policy and Communications Manager at the British Bioindustry Association (BIA), explores the topic of biosolutions and how they are helping to drive a more sustainable future in the UK and beyond. The climate crisis requires urgent and comprehensive mobilization across all sectors of the global economy. While conversations often center on decarbonization efforts in energy and transportation, the most powerful and scalable solutions may lie in an unexpected realm: biology itself. We are currently in an era of truly disruptive innovation. There, the ability to derive insights from AI, precisely edit genomes, and industrialize biological processes is…
In 2026, the H2REF-DEMO project will demonstrate and test hydrogen compression technology, moving towards providing reliable hydrogen refueling systems for heavy-duty vehicles. Europe’s transition to a net-zero economy relies on clean and reliable hydrogen infrastructure that can support both light and heavy mobility. Continued investment, research and innovation in hydrogen technology is clearly needed to enable growth in the hydrogen sector and meet future demand. One example of such research and innovation is the H2REF-DEMO project, which aims to develop a cost-effective and reliable hydrogen fuel cell vehicle refueling system. Demonstrations: From the laboratory to full-scale prototypes H2REF-DEMO is being…

November 21, 2025Ravi LakshmananCompliance/Cyber attack The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has abandoned a lawsuit against SolarWinds and its chief information security officer, alleging the company misled investors about security practices that led to a 2020 supply chain attack. In a joint complaint filed on November 20, 2025, the SEC, along with SolarWinds and its CISO Timothy G. Brown, asked the court to voluntarily dismiss the case. The SEC said its decision to dismiss “does not necessarily reflect the Commission’s position with respect to other cases.” SolarWinds and Brown were charged by the SEC in October 2023 with “fraud…

Scientists have discovered a new type of lion roar: the mesoroar. This is shorter and lower pitched than the animal’s iconic full-throated roar.The researchers found that these intermediate roars always followed the full-throat roar. The discovery reveals that lion roars are more complex than previously thought, said study lead author Jonathan Growcott, a doctoral student in mathematics and statistics at the University of Exeter in the UK.”A full-throated roar is an explosion of sound: loud, complex, and arcing in pitch,” Growcott told Live Science in an email. “Intermediate roars are different in that they are less varied and have a…
‘Zombified’ cells in blood vessels may play a key role in the development of age-related metabolic diseases such as diabetes, a new study has found. And killing these zombie cells could be a promising approach for future treatments.Cells normally respond to stress by becoming senescent, a state in which cells remain in the body in which they permanently stop dividing. These senescent cells may have several useful functions. For example, some play an important role in wound healing. However, as senescent cells accumulate in the body over time, they are also known to be the cause of age-related diseases.In previous…
