Learn More Direct attacks on critical infrastructure get a lot of attention, but the bigger danger often lies in something less visible: The poor cybersecurity practices of the businesses that keep these systems running. According to the Cybernews Business Digital Index, a staggering 84% earned a “D” grade or worse for their cybersecurity practices, with 43% falling into the “F” category. Only 6% of companies got an “A” for their efforts. What’s more troubling is that industries at the heart of critical infrastructure…

Electrifying your commercial fleet is a tricky thing. Sure, you want to cut your fuel costs. You want to reduce your operating variables. Heck you you even want to help corporate meet their ESG goals – but where do you start? MAN Trucks is here to help fleet managers get answers.

That’s true enough here in North America, and truer still in Europe where distances between cities are condensed and trucks like the Mercedes eActros and…

DJI Dock 3 supports vehicle-mounted deployment and dual-drone rotationsSupports obstacle-sensing LiDAR, high-intensity spotlight, and real-time audioDesigned for continuous aerial surveillance and monitoringDJI has introduced its first “drone-in-a-box” system, DJI Dock 3, designed for continuous remote operations in demanding conditions and autonomous drone flights.It supports an IP56 rating for dust and water resistance and functions in temperatures from -30°C (-22°F) to 50°C (122°F).DJI, known for advanced drone technology in products like the DJI Flip and DJI Mini 4K, designed the Dock 3 to support deployment on moving vehicles, unlike the Dock 2, which supports only fixed installations.Long flight time and advanced…

Investigation of ion and water transport in the SSE. Credit: Science Advances (2025). DOI: 10.1126/sciadv.adq9823 In the race to meet the growing global demand for lithium—a critical component in batteries for electric vehicles—a team of researchers from Rice University’s Elimelech lab has developed a breakthrough lithium extraction method that could reshape the industry. In their study published in Science Advances, the researchers demonstrated near-perfect lithium selectivity by repurposing solid-state electrolytes (SSEs) as membrane materials for aqueous lithium extraction. While originally designed for the rapid conduction of lithium ions in solid-state batteries—where there are no other ions or liquid solvents—the highly…

Dive Brief: Advanced nuclear technology developer Last Energy will deploy 30 microreactors to serve data center customers across the Electric Reliability Council of Texas territory, the company said today. The 20-MWe units would be deployed in phases, eventually adding 600 MW of electric capacity to the ERCOT grid in the coming years, a Last Energy spokesperson told Utility Dive. Last Energy submitted a grid interconnection request to ERCOT earlier this month and is exploring options for both front-of-the-meter and behind-the-meter connections, the spokesperson said. The project will help advance Texas’s effort “to be number one in advanced nuclear power,” Gov.…

Participants competed in four demanding challenges: precision maneuvering, lifting, reversing, and trailer handling, followed by a final regularity test on the tractor course in the field. Throughout the event, competitors had the opportunity to experience the benefits of Trelleborg’s tire technologies, including the TM800 ProgressiveTraction and other tire solutions designed to maximize grip, reduce slippage, and improve overall efficiency in agricultural operations.This year, Trelleborg Tires partnered with John Deere Italia as the event’s technical sponsor, supplying all tractors used in the competition, including the John Deere 6R 150, equipped with TM800 ProgressiveTraction tires, in sizes 540/65R28 and 650/65R38 both front…

AMD’s upcoming RDNA 4 consumer graphics cards will not get official ROCm support at launch. According to Phoronix, AMD answered a question during its press briefing stating that ROCm support would not arrive for RDNA 4 until sometime after launch day. AMD has since not clarified what the timeline for support for the consumer cards will look like.ROCm, or Radeon Open Compute Ecosystem, is AMD’s open-source answer to Nvidia’s CUDA platform. The ROCm software stack is meant to enable HPC and AI workflows for consumer/prosumer products and has offered official support to AMD’s consumer products on Windows since 2022. Of…

Germany’s armed forces have commissioned Bremen-based startup Polaris to develop a two-stage, fully reusable hypersonic space plane — and given the team just three years to build it.  Dubbed Aurora, the 28-metre-long aircraft will be part rocket, part plane — designed to take off and land on a runway but also blast through the atmosphere and place payloads up to 1-ton in low-Earth orbit.  Under the contract, the startup will design, build, and flight test the spaceplane. The aircraft will serve as a testbed for hypersonic flight and defence research. It could be used as a small satellite carrier if…
