A tiny light trap could unlock million qubit quantum computers

A new light-based breakthrough could help quantum computers finally scale up. Stanford researchers created miniature optical cavities that efficiently collect light from individual atoms, allowing many qubits to be read at once. The team has already demonstrated working arrays with dozens and even hundreds of cavities. The approach could eventually support massive quantum networks with millions of qubits.

Pompelmi: Open-source secure file upload scanning for Node.js

Software teams building services in JavaScript are adding more layers of defense to handle untrusted file uploads. An open-source project called Pompelmi aims to insert malware scanning and policy checks directly into Node.js applications before files reach storage or business logic. Pompelmi is built for JavaScript and TypeScript environments and runs directly within the application process. Files are scanned in memory at upload time, allowing applications to make accept or reject decisions early in the … More → The post Pompelmi: Open-source secure file upload scanning for Node.js appeared first on Help Net Security.

AI is flooding IAM systems with new identities

Most organizations view AI identities through the same lens used for other non-human identities, such as service accounts, API keys, and chatbots, according to The State of Non-Human Identity and AI Security report by the Cloud Security Alliance. AI identities inherit old IAM weaknesses Treating AI identities as another category of non-human identity means they inherit the same weaknesses that have affected identity programs for years. Credential sprawl, unclear ownership, and uneven lifecycle controls already … More → The post AI is flooding IAM systems with new identities appeared first on Help Net Security.

“Existential risk” – Why scientists are racing to define consciousness

Scientists warn that rapid advances in AI and neurotechnology are outpacing our understanding of consciousness, creating serious ethical risks. New research argues that developing scientific tests for awareness could transform medicine, animal welfare, law, and AI development. But identifying consciousness in machines, brain organoids, or patients could also force society to rethink responsibility, rights, and moral boundaries. The question of what it means to be conscious has never been more urgent—or more unsettling.

This AI app can tell which dinosaur made a footprint

Dinosaur footprints have always been mysterious, but a new AI app is cracking their secrets. DinoTracker analyzes photos of fossil tracks and predicts which dinosaur made them, with accuracy rivaling human experts. Along the way, it uncovered footprints that look strikingly bird-like—dating back more than 200 million years. That discovery could push the origin of birds much deeper into prehistory.

Scientists discover hidden geometry that bends electrons like gravity

Researchers have discovered a hidden quantum geometry inside materials that subtly steers electrons, echoing how gravity warps light in space. Once thought to exist only on paper, this effect has now been observed experimentally in a popular quantum material. The finding reveals a new way to understand and control how materials conduct electricity and interact with light. It could help power future ultra-fast electronics and quantum technologies.
