Railway stolen AI keys generated estimated $740,000 in unauthorized charges ↗
An October platform breach had consequences beyond the hosting service itself, Railway says in its November report.
cPGuard security update became a route for server credential theft ↗
OPSSHIELD says a trusted update channel delivered malicious code to roughly 2,950 customer servers.
Airscope wireless microscope records thousands of mouse brain cells ↗
The one-gram instrument, excluding its battery, combines a broad view with cellular detail and cable-free recording.
Webb reveals a compact quasar-pair candidate in the early universe ↗
A candidate pair adds a close-neighbor test to the puzzle of rapid black-hole growth, rather than proving astronomy wrong.
Shai-Hulud npm worm turned victims into malicious-package publishers ↗
The first Shai-Hulud wave in September 2025 linked credential theft with automated malicious releases. GitHub removed more than 500 compromised packages.
A liquid-metal gripper gently moves fish embryos and flicks out a hair in milliseconds ↗
LiMU uses controllable surface tension to tackle a difficult part of microscopic manipulation: letting go.
Nonprofits Sue OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Meta and SpaceX's AI Unit to Freeze Frontier AI Development ↗
Four US nonprofits sued five leading AI companies in San Francisco on Nov. 12, asking a judge to freeze development and deployment of more advanced AI models under California's Unfair Competition Law. Earlier AI lawsuits mostly sought damages over copyright or individual harm; this one asks the court to hit pause on the frontier itself.
Google DeepMind Opens PARDIG and SatWeave, the Weather Datasets Behind WeatherNext 3 ↗
Google DeepMind released PARDIG and SatWeave, the open weather datasets behind its WeatherNext 3 model. SatWeave stitches six geostationary satellites into an hourly global view; PARDIG uses AI trained on sparse space radar to map rainfall worldwide every 15 minutes at about 10 km, back to 1999. Both are free under CC BY 4.0.
A bioprinted implant made with living human cells reaches the eye ↗
Rambam’s 2025 implantation took cultured-cell tissue into an early human trial, building on rather than erasing earlier engineered-cornea work.
Ultrasound beams create a private audible enclave at their intersection ↗
The experiment localizes where sound is generated, rather than merely pointing a speaker. Practical listening systems remain an engineering task.
AutoDNA lab completes a DNA storage experiment across 11,382 operations ↗
A physical laboratory connects AI planning with DNA writing and recovery, while people still maintain the equipment.
Living algae bend a soft gripper, but large movements take hours ↗
The experiment connects biological activity to mechanical movement. Its contribution is a particular drive mechanism, not the first motor-free soft robot.
A paper-based battery powers ingestible devices before breaking down ↗
MIT researchers tested a resorbable power source in pigs. The result advances temporary electronics, not an approved capsule for human treatment.
DJI Romo cloud permissions flaw exposed home-privacy risks ↗
The February incident was fixed, DJI says, but it shows why authentication and device authorization are different safeguards.
XBOW Chrome exploit pairs AI work with human judgment ↗
A patched browser exploit illustrates a concrete AI-assisted result, with preparation and engineering decisions still essential.
Google Calendar phishing steals sessions after sign-in checks ↗
An October investigation shows how calendar invitations and a live sign-in intermediary turned trusted office workflows into an account-takeover route.
Kirin electric salt spoon changes taste without adding salt ↗
Kirin turned electrical taste research into tableware. The idea changes the sensation of saltiness rather than the salt content of a meal.
Glide robotic guide reaches pilot users as deliveries slip ↗
Glide turns perception into physical steering for blind travelers. Pilot walks show its potential and the street-level problems delaying wider delivery.
China space station slows an ultracold atom cloud ↗
An optical experiment extends the time available to study a freely expanding quantum gas.
