Scientists create robots smaller than a grain of salt that can think

Researchers have created microscopic robots so small they’re barely visible, yet smart enough to sense, decide, and move completely on their own. Powered by light and equipped with tiny computers, the robots swim by manipulating electric fields rather than using moving parts. They can detect temperature changes, follow programmed paths, and even work together in groups. The breakthrough marks the first truly autonomous robots at this microscopic scale.

Tiny 3D-printed light cages could unlock the quantum internet

A new chip-based quantum memory uses nanoprinted “light cages” to trap light inside atomic vapor, enabling fast, reliable storage of quantum information. The structures can be fabricated with extreme precision and filled with atoms in days instead of months. Multiple memories can operate side by side on a single chip, all performing nearly identically. The result is a powerful, scalable building block for future quantum communication and computing.

Turning plain language into firewall rules

Firewall rules often begin as a sentence in someone’s head. A team needs access to an application. A service needs to be blocked after hours. Translating those ideas into vendor specific firewall syntax usually involves detailed knowledge of zones, objects, ports, and rule order. New research from New York University examines a different starting point, one that treats natural language as the entry point for firewall configuration. The paper presents a prototype system that accepts … More → The post Turning plain language into firewall rules appeared first on Help Net Security.

The roles and challenges in moving to quantum-safe cryptography

A new research project examines how organizations, regulators, and technical experts coordinate the transition to quantum safe cryptography. The study draws on a structured workshop with public sector, private sector, and academic participants to document how governance, security, and innovation systems shape cryptographic migration planning. The paper focuses on the Netherlands as a case study. The authors frame the transition to quantum safe systems as a socio technical process that involves institutions, standards bodies, and … More → The post The roles and challenges in moving to quantum-safe cryptography appeared first on Help Net Security.

Product showcase: Blokada for Android gives users control over network traffic

Blokada is a network privacy and ad-blocking application available on Android, iOS, Windows, macOS, and Linux. It is designed to reduce ads, block trackers, and limit unwanted network connections at the system level. Getting started Blokada’s interface is simple. A single toggle enables or disables protection, while advanced options remain available for users who want more control. The app includes usage statistics, connection logs, and per-app settings, allowing users to exclude specific apps from filtering … More → The post Product showcase: Blokada for Android gives users control over network traffic appeared first on Help Net Security.

Passwords are still breaking compliance programs

The security stack has grown, but audits still stumble on passwords. CISOs see this every year. An organization may have strong endpoint tools, layered network defenses, and a documented access policy. Then the audit turns to shared credentials, spreadsheet-based password storage, or accounts that no one can clearly explain. At that point, the discussion stops being about maturity and starts being about gaps. Passwords remain one of the most common access mechanisms across enterprise systems. … More → The post Passwords are still breaking compliance programs appeared first on Help Net Security.

What security teams miss in email attacks

Email remains the most common entry point for attackers. This article examines how phishing, impersonation, and account takeover continue to drive email breaches and expose growing security gaps across industries. Email blind spots are back to bite security teams Email remains the primary entry point for compromise. Malware in email increased by more than 130% year over year. Scams rose by more than 30% and phishing increased by more than 20%. These categories continue to … More → The post What security teams miss in email attacks appeared first on Help Net Security.
