LLM-powered AI agents are a fairly new phenomenon, but one of the most popular areas so far is sales. 1Mind, a startup co-founded by Amanda Carlow, has been quietly shipping a reseller named Mindy for about a year. On Monday, the startup announced a $30 million Series A round led by Battery Ventures. This brings 1Mind’s total funding to $40 million, the company said. Kahlow is well known in the sales and marketing technology world as the founder and former CEO of 6Sense. It was launched in 2013 as a lead generation tool that tracks social media and other site-wide…
After helping several companies document how work actually gets done, Scribe raised $75 million at a $1.3 billion post-money valuation to deploy Scribe Optimize. Scribe Optimize is a platform that maps workflows across your enterprise to reveal where automation and AI actually generate benefits, rather than becoming new sunk costs. The all-stock Series C round was led by StepStone, with participation from existing investors Amplify Partners, Redpoint Ventures, Tiger Global, Morado Ventures, and New York Life Ventures. Co-founder and CEO Jennifer Smith (pictured above, left) said in an exclusive interview that the new funding comes more than a year after…
Two cavities detected on the east side of Menkaure’s pyramid on Egypt’s Giza Plateau suggest a second hidden entrance to the pyramid, according to a new study.The pyramids were built during the reign of Pharaoh Menkaure (c. 2490-2472 BC). It was the last and smallest of the three pyramids built on the Giza Plateau, and was originally approximately 213 feet (65 meters) high. The main gate to the pyramid is on the north face.The eastern side of the pyramid contains an area of polished blocks that has long puzzled researchers. “The stone is significantly polished over an area of approximately…
Cyber threats didn’t slow down last week—and attackers are getting smarter. We’re seeing malware hidden in virtual machines, side-channel leaks exposing AI chats, and spyware quietly targeting Android devices in the wild. But that’s just the surface. From sleeper logic bombs to a fresh alliance between major threat groups, this week’s roundup highlights a clear shift: cybercrime is evolving fast, and the lines between technical stealth and strategic coordination are blurring. It’s worth your time. Every story here is about real risks that your team needs to know about right now. Read the whole recap. ⚡ Threat of the Week…
The telescope tasked with creating the largest map of the universe in history has confirmed a harsh, if not surprising, truth. The truth is that nothing lasts forever, not even the cold November rain or the universe itself.Using a vast catalog of observations from the European Space Agency’s (ESA) Euclid and Herschel Space Telescopes, a team of 175 researchers produced the most comprehensive reading of the temperature of the universe ever recorded. By studying the heat emitted by stardust in more than 2 million galaxies, the researchers found that galaxies have become slightly cooler and the rate of star formation…
According to the new Browser Security Report 2025, security leaders are realizing that most identity, SaaS, and AI-related risks are concentrated in one place: the user’s browser. However, traditional controls such as DLP, EDR, and SSE still operate one layer below. What is revealed is more than just a blind spot. This is the surface of parallel threats such as unmanaged extensions that act like supply chain implants, GenAI tools accessed through personal accounts, sensitive data copied/pasted directly into prompt fields, and sessions that bypass SSO entirely. This article identifies key findings from the report and what they reveal about…
Elie Gabel explains how making EVs lighter through smarter materials and AI-powered design increases range and efficiency without the need for larger batteries. Every kilogram saved from an electric vehicle (EV) translates directly into increased range. This simple physical advantage is driving a new wave of design innovation. Rather than relying solely on larger or denser batteries, EV engineers are now pursuing efficiency through smarter material choices and rethinking construction. Automakers are redesigning the chassis geometry, which reduces the need for redundant reinforcement. This integration reduces mass, simplifies assembly, lowers costs, and improves overall vehicle performance. As energy efficiency becomes…
simple factsName: Merit wigContents: A wig made of human hair.Origin: Luxor, EgyptCreation date: c.1425 to c.1353 B.C.In 1906, archaeologists discovered the wig of an Egyptian woman known as Merritt when excavating the tomb she shared with her husband Ka in Luxor (known in ancient times as Thebes). Archaeologist Ernesto Schiaparelli wrote that the wig was made of dark brown human hair and still shone with perfumed oil applied more than 3,000 years before it was discovered.Schiaparelli discovered the wig inside a tall acacia box with Merritt’s name engraved on it. Inside the box were two wooden, linen-covered stands that supported…
NASA’s Cassini mission has revealed a surprising new chapter in the story of Saturn’s icy moon Enceladus, long considered one of the solar system’s most promising sites for extraterrestrial life. For the first time, scientists have detected massive heat flows from the moon’s poles. This proves that the Moon’s internal energy system is stable and sustainable over geological time scales. The breakthrough discovery, led by researchers at the University of Oxford, the Southwest Research Institute, and the Planetary Science Institute in Tucson, suggests that Enceladus’ moon is far more thermally active than previously thought. This finding supports the idea that…
Generally speaking, the further away you are from the equator, the lower the average temperature. This is the main reason why many of the hottest deserts are concentrated near the center of the earth, while the North and South poles are some of the coldest places on Earth.But that logic doesn’t apply to parts of Western Europe. For example, the average high temperature in January in London is 47 degrees Fahrenheit (8.3 degrees Celsius), while in Calgary, Alberta, 4,400 miles (7,100 kilometers) west of London, the average high temperature in January is in the low 30s (less than 1 degree…
