Shapeshifting materials could power next generation of soft robots
McGill University engineers have developed new ultra-thin materials that can be programmed to move, fold and reshape themselves, much like animated origami. They open the door to softer, safer and more adaptable robots that could be used in medical tools that gently move inside the body, wearable devices that change shape on the skin or smart packaging that reacts to its environment.

OpenAI, Leidos partner to deploy AI for federal agency missions
While AI is increasingly used in agencies already, company leaders say the collaboration will help tailor the technology to specific missions.

Das Problem der Kavitation: HAW Kiel startet Projekt für leise Schiffspropeller
Der Lärm von Schiffsschrauben stört das maritime Ökosystem. Die HAW Kiel ist der Ursache auf den Grund gegangen und will leisere Schiffspropeller entwickeln.

KEV Assertion Format – Draft Specification (potential BCP?)

This format describes a generic KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerability) assertion format.
The goal is to express who claims exploitation, when, based on what, where it was observed, and with which level of confidence, without turning KEV into full threat intelligence. A KEV assertion is usually very binary and lacking some meta-information. The format adds some …

KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerabilities) - Potential Format (BCP?)
KEV Assertion Format – Draft Specification (potential BCP?) This format describes a generic KEV (Known Exploited Vulnerability) assertion format. The goal is to express who claims exploitation, when, based on what, where it was observed, and with which level of confidence, without turning KEV into full threat intelligence. A KEV assertion is usually very binary and lacking some meta-information. The format adds some information which could better capture details about the exploitation. A maj…

Every operation on a computer require multiple actions from the user. A series of clicks at specific places, typing specific characters and so on.
Except it it's by mistake.
If it's by mistake it's the reverse: a single action will trigger several operation on the computer...
