Nuclear fusion – the process that powers the stars – has long captured the imagination of scientists, engineers, and energy experts alike. Unlike nuclear fission, which involves splitting heavy atoms and results in radioactive waste and safety concerns, fusion joins light nuclei, such as hydrogen isotopes, to form heavier elements, releasing vast amounts of energy in the process. With minimal radioactive waste, no carbon emissions, and virtually limitless fuel, fusion represents a potentially transformative source of clean energy. As the world races to meet the dual challenges of climate change and growing energy demands, fusion energy is no longer a…
More than a decade ago, researchers at antivirus company Kaspersky identified suspicious internet traffic of what they thought was a known government-backed group, based on similar targeting and its phishing techniques. Soon, the researchers realized they had found a much more advanced hacking operation that was targeting the Cuban government, among others. Eventually the researchers were able to attribute the network activity to a mysterious — and at the time completely unknown — Spanish-speaking hacking group that they called Careto, after the Spanish slang word (“ugly face” or “mask” in English), which they found buried within the malware’s code. Careto…
As neighbouring countries have forced tens of thousands of Afghans home, deepening humanitarian crises are unfolding in Afghanistan. More than 280,000 Afghans have been deported or pressured to leave Pakistan and Iran in April alone. Many people were in poverty and desperately needed support to rebuild their lives. Their stories reveal the unstable future they face now. Ezatura, 45, recently entered Afghanistan from the Torkham border with his wife and seven children. “They told us to leave urgently,” he said. “All of our belongings were left. Everything was lost. There’s nothing now.” Born and raised in Pakistan, Ezatura worked as…
Conference News talks to Neil Hudson-Basing and Community and Events Director of We Create Space, Network and Consultancy, a community-driven learning platform. From Trump’s anti-DEI campaign messaging in the US to reform and rise in UK trans rights, concerns have risen about the future of diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI) as right-wing rhetoric gains traction worldwide. But despite political tensions and media stories that suggest a retreat from Day, much of the events industry holds firmly in place. For Neil Hudson’s bassing, inclusion is not a trend that passes, but rather a basis for how successful and experienced events are.…
Treasurers for the group of seven countries threatened that if they disagree with a ceasefire in the war with Ukraine, they could impose further sanctions on Russia. Foreign ministers also concluded the G7 meeting in the Rocky Mountains in Canada, which they had convened this week, and said on Thursday night, the group would consider how Moscow could be retreated if efforts to end Russia’s “continuous brutal war” in Ukraine fail. “If such a ceasefire is not agreed, we will continue to explore all possible options, including options to maximize pressure, such as further strengthening sanctions.” The G7, consisting of…
New medical technologies such as drones and smarter medical software using AI to provide critical supply can help doctors find diseases before, quickly reach the UK public through new funds, reduce unnecessary deficits and maintain innovation. The pioneer regulatory fund supports regulators who try to experiment with more efficient and more efficient ways of working that will allow companies to bring innovation to the market faster and support economic growth. The launch of the fourth round – totalling £5.5 million worth – has supported 24 pioneering projects across the country, unlocking new opportunities in sectors such as health, transportation and…
Scientists at the University of Surrey have unveiled a new type of battery that can store energy and change the way we fight climate change. These advanced lithium-CO-CO₂ batteries not only provide higher energy performance, but also absorb carbon dioxide from the atmosphere in use. It offers two powerful solutions to the world’s two most pressing challenges: clean energy storage and greenhouse gas reduction. By solving long-standing efficiency issues with low-cost catalysts, this innovation could pave the way for scalable and environmentally friendly batteries, both on Earth and potentially Mars, than today’s lithium-ion technology. “Breath” battery power Unlike traditional batteries…

The LISA experiment is a space-mediated gravitational wave detector aimed at measuring waves from large-scale celestial events, which enhances understanding of the universe by capturing signals that terrestrial observatory such as Ligo and Virgo cannot detect. Gravitational waves have emerged as one of the most exciting frontiers in modern astrophysics, reconstructing our understanding of the universe and fundamental forces during play. These ripples in the fabric of space-time were first predicted by Albert Einstein more than a century ago, and have invaluable information about some of the most intense events in our universe, such as the fusion of black holes…
The U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) announced on Thursday the online infrastructure disruptions related to Danabot (aka Danatools) that the sealed charges against 16 people are allegedly involved in the development and deployment of malware, which is said to be managed by a Russian-based cybercriminal organization. The malware infected more than 300,000 victim computers around the world, promoting fraud and ransomware, and said it caused at least $50 million in damages. Two of the accused, Alexander Stefanov (aka Zimby), 39, and Artem Alexandrovich Kalinkin (aka Onix), 34, both of whom are from Novosibirsk, Russia, are now common. Stepanov is charged…
