Engineering Breakthrough Opens Door to Cheap Hydrogen Power

gizmodo.com Gayoung Lee 2025-12-01 08:45:37

As an alternative to fossil fuel combustion, hydrogen fuel cells hold tremendous promise. But they’re also notoriously difficult and expensive to manage, which largely explains why we don’t see them everywhere (or anywhere, for that matter, except for a few initiatives that are “exploring” their efficiency). But that may soon change. In a Nature Materials paper published August 8, researchers announced the development of a new type of solid-oxide fuel cell (SOFC) that addresses an underlying pr

Cutting Through the Security Noise: How XDR helps Teams Focus on Real Threats

Extended Detection and Response (XDR) is a modern security technology designed primarily as a Security Operations Centre (SOC) enabler tool. It addresses the complexities and challenges faced by security teams in today’s evolving threat landscape. The core idea behind XDR is to take challenging incident response processes and make security analysts more effective, even at more junior levels.

This quantum radar could image buried objects

technologyreview.com Sophia Chen 2025-12-03 02:00:00

The glass cell that serves as the radar’s quantum component is full of cesium atoms kept at room temperature. The researchers use lasers to get each individual cesium atom to swell to nearly the size of a bacterium, about 10,000 times bigger than the usual size. Atoms in this bloated condition are called Rydberg atoms. When incoming radio waves hit Rydberg atoms, they disturb the distribution of electrons around their nuclei. Researchers can detect the disturbance by shining lasers on the atoms
