Google’s Pixel 10 phones will reportedly launch on August 13th Google will reportedly launch the Pixel 10 series at a Made by Google event on August 13th, with the handsets arriving in stores a week later on the 20th. Leaker @MysteryLupin was the first to tip the launch date, which Android Headlines echoed just minutes later, adding in the extra detail of when the phones will actually reach buyers. This year Google is expected to launch four Pixel 10 phones, with a regular model, Pro, Pro XL, and Pro Fold. It’s likely Google will announce the Pixel Watch 4 at the same event.

Italy's Mount Etna volcano erupts with a massive ash cloud and a "lava fountain" Mount Etna, the rambunctious volcano on the Italian island of Sicily, grumbled back to life on Monday, spewing hot ash and lava in a pyroclastic flow, the nation's volcano monitoring body said. There was no immediate report of any risk to the local population, which is accustomed to Etna's frequent eruptions, or to air travel.

Jony Ive’s OpenAI device gets the Laurene Powell Jobs nod of approval The mysterious AI gadget being created by OpenAI and former Apple design chief Jony Ive has been given the thumbs up from Laurene Powell Jobs. In a new interview published by The Financial Times, the two reminisce about Jony Ive’s time working at Apple alongside Powell Jobs’ late husband, Steve, and trying to make up for the “unintentional” harms associated with those efforts.

How AI coding agents could destroy open source software **Imagine a single rogue line of code slipping past your tired eyes - and suddenly your entire app is compromised. AI coding agents could be the silent saboteurs of the next big cybersecurity crisis.**   A couple of weeks ago, I had the opportunity to use Google's Jules AI Agent to scan through the entire code repository of one of my projects and add a new feature. The AI took about 10 minutes. All told, it took under 30 minutes to use the AI, review its changes, and ship the new feature. At the time, I was wildly impressed. The more I've thought about it, the more worried I've become.

US sends Iran nuclear deal proposal after UN watchdog report The US has sent Iran a proposal for a nuclear deal between Tehran and Washington, the White House confirmed on Saturday. Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said he had been presented with "elements of a US deal" by his Omani counterpart Badr Albusaidi during a short visit to the Iranian capital. It comes after a report by the UN nuclear watchdog said Iran had further stepped up its production of enriched uranium, a key component in the making of nuclear weapons.

Scientists think they learned how the human brain can store so much information Astrocytes are the brain’s star-shaped support cells, and they might be doing more than just backing up neurons. While we usually credit neurons for storing memories and processing thoughts, astrocytes are just as abundant and far more involved than was once believed.

NASA detects huge lake in the Solar System — It's not of water Water in the solar system is not breaking news. Planets are mostly composed of water in a solid state at their poles, just like the moon also has it. For years, NASA has been trying to find water in a liquid state in other places beyond Earth, but the only planet that can potentially hold life and is close enough to make a trip to study is Mars. On the other hand, while searching for discoveries in the cosmos, NASA found a giant lake in Jupiter during the Juno mission, but not filled with water, during the exclusive mission to explore the giant planet.

MIT’s Chilling Experiment That Could Prove Gravity Is Quantum MIT researchers have found a bold new way to approach one of science’s biggest mysteries: is gravity truly a quantum force? By chilling a tiny mirror to near absolute zero using lasers — a method traditionally used in atomic physics — they’ve opened a new experimental window into the intersection of quantum mechanics and gravity. This fusion of cutting-edge cooling and classical tools might finally let scientists observe whether gravity behaves like other quantum forces, a question that has puzzled physicists for decades.

Attackers are mapping your attack surface—are you? Today’s threat landscape, attack surfaces are expanding faster than most security teams can track. Every new cloud asset, exposed API, forgotten subdomain, or misconfigured service becomes an opportunity for an attacker to exploit. Modern threat actors are leveraging Attack Surface Management (ASM) to map out your digital footprint before you even realize what’s exposed. Through automated reconnaissance, asset discovery tools, and open-source intelligence, they’re thinking like red teamers, acting like bug bounty hunters, and exploiting gaps in real-time.

GreyNoise Discovers Stealthy Backdoor Campaign Affecting Thousands ASUS Routers This activity was first discovered by GreyNoise on March 18, 2025. Public disclosure was deferred as we coordinated the findings with government and industry partners. ‍GreyNoise has identified an ongoing exploitation campaign in which attackers have gained unauthorized, persistent access to thousands of ASUS routers exposed to the internet. This appears to be part of a stealth operation to assemble a distributed network of backdoor devices — potentially laying the groundwork for a future botnet.
