Peter Bruggeman, a professor of Mechanical Engineering at the University of Minnesota, discusses the impact of recent advances in low-temperature plasmas. Low-temperature plasmas (LTPs) are ionised gases with characteristic electron energies in the eV range (equivalent temperature of 11,600 K) and electron densities that typically remain several orders of magnitude lower than the neutral species. These conditions enable the energetic electrons to generate an abundant amount of reactive species while maintaining near-ambient gas temperatures. ‘Low-temperature plasma’ typically refers to plasmas for which the gas temperature is much less than the electron temperature in contrast with, for example, plasmas in fusion…
Multi-diagnostic tests for use in animal health that can be used by anyone, anywhere, bring rapid results. As a result of the global Covid-19 pandemic, patients have grown to expect early detection and rapid turnaround test results. Just like with human medicine, pet parents are no longer willing to wait for a call from the lab when they bring their dogs or cats to the veterinarian room. They expect near-instant test results. This change in patient expectations drives the Control Point CEO’s Pola Walker. Pioneering on-site diagnosis of respiratory diseases in dogs ControlPoint Inc. is an animal diagnostics company focused…
A new malware campaign called Sparkcat has leveraged fake apps on both Apple and Google app stores to steal mnemonic phrases from victims related to cryptocurrency wallets. The attack leverages an optical character recognition (OCR) model to remove selected images containing wallet recovery phrases from the photo library to a command and control (C2) server, and Kaspersky researchers Dmitry Kalinin and Sergey Puzan mentioned in the technical report. This moniker is a reference to an embedded software development kit (SDK) that employs a Java component called Spark, which poses as an analysis module. Currently, it is unclear whether the infection…
Charging your electric vehicle in public places can be the best or worst. The EV driver can charge and get back to the road in a smooth 20-minute period, but you can also encounter broken chargers, non-responsive touchscreens and blocked food stalls. It can be a headache for everyday consumers. For fleets or boarding share drivers, broken chargers will lose money. These complaints prompt Ashwin Diaz and JJ Rayner to urge Uber to quit their jobs, where they impress the vehicle of the ride-share driver and launch Presto, an app that directs fleet drivers to the best chargers. He led…
Privileged Access Management (PAM) has emerged as the basis of modern cybersecurity strategies, moving from technical needs to a key pillar of the leadership agenda. With the PAM market forecast to reach $429.6 billion by 2037 (according to Research Nester), organizations are investing heavily in PAM solutions. Why is Pam climbing leadership priorities? Gartner highlights key reasons such as strengthening security, regulatory compliance preparation, and insurance requirements, but the impact of PAM spans multiple strategic areas. PAM helps organizations improve overall operational efficiency and tackle many of the challenges they face today. To learn more about PAM’s transformational impact on…

You arrive at the office, turn on the system and set up a panic. All files are locked and all systems are frozen. Ransom demand flashes on the screen. “You’ll either pay $2 million in Bitcoin within 48 hours or lose everything.” And the worst part is that there is no guarantee that you will get your data back even after payment. Many victims hand over the money, but in return they receive nothing, or worse still, are attacked again. This is not a rare case. Ransomware attacks have put businesses all over the world, from hospitals and banks to…
