AI Agents Help Hackers Breach Enterprise Network in Under 10 Hours

Palo Alto Networks’ Unit 42 documented an enterprise intrusion in which a human attacker used AI agents to automate reconnaissance, exploit weaknesses, move through the network and obtain privileged credentials. The operation took less than 10 hours, compared with nearly two weeks Read More

Gene-Edited Pig Kidney Keeps Patient Off Dialysis for 271 Days in Medical First

A genetically edited pig kidney kept a 66-year-old patient with end-stage kidney disease free from dialysis for 271 days before it was replaced with a deceased-donor human kidney. The case is the longest reported dialysis-free survival after a pig kidney transplant and Read More

Earth Is Approaching a Critical Climate Threshold — Can Humanity Still Change Course?

Global temperatures are nearing the 1.5°C warming threshold, with recent years repeatedly approaching or exceeding it. Scientists warn that continued warming will intensify risks from extreme heat, changing rainfall, pressure on food and water supplies, ecosystem damage, and disproportionate effects on vulnerable Read More

Scientists Detect a Mysterious Signal That Could Offer the First Clue to Dark Matter

The LUX-ZEPLIN experiment detected an unusual particle interaction nearly one mile underground in South Dakota. Its characteristics are compatible with a possible dark matter interaction, including one involving hypothetical WIMPs, but researchers are investigating alternative explanations. The signal has a statistical significance Read More
