AI-assisted Advanced Propellant Development for Electric Propulsion
Artificial Intelligence algorithms are introduced in this work as a tool to predict the performance of new chemical compounds as alternative propellants for electric propulsion, focusing on predicting their ionisation characteristics and fragmentation patterns. The chemical properties and structure of the compounds are encoded using a chemical fingerprint, and the training datasets are extracted from the NIST WebBook. The AI-predicted ionisation energy and minimum appearance energy have a mean …

Bubble, Bubble, AI's Rumble: Why Global Financial Regulatory Incident Reporting is Our Shield Against Systemic Stumbles
"Double, double toil and trouble; Fire burn and cauldron bubble." As Shakespeare's witches foretold chaos through cryptic prophecies, modern capital markets grapple with systemic risks concealed by opaque AI systems. According to IMF, the August 5, 2024, plunge in Japanese and U.S. equities can be linked to algorithmic trading yet ab-sent from existing AI incidents database exemplifies this transparency crisis. Current AI incident databases, reliant on crowdsourcing or news scraping, systematic…

Exclusive | DOJ settles case accusing real estate tech firm RealPage of enabling landlords to collude on sky-high rents
The Justice Department has settled its case against real estate tech firm RealPage, which faced bombshell allegations of building algorithms that allowed landlords to illegally collude to jack up r…

Once limited to policing the nation’s boundaries,
the Border Patrol has built a surveillance system stretching into the country’s interior
that can monitor ordinary Americans’ daily actions and connections for anomalies instead of simply targeting wanted suspects.
The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious, The Associated Press has found.

Border Patrol monitors US drivers and detains Americans for ‘suspicious’ travel
The U.S. Border Patrol is monitoring millions of American drivers nationwide in a secretive program to identify and detain people whose travel patterns it deems suspicious. The Associated Press has found that the predictive intelligence program has resulted in people being stopped, searched, and in some cases arrested. A network of cameras scans and records vehicle license plate information, and an algorithm flags vehicles deemed suspicious based on where they came from, where they were going, …

Spectral peak picking improves tactile speech perception https://www.nature.com/articles/s41598-025-28930-6 "The algorithm is suitable for real-time use in wearable sensory substitution devices and could aid the development of effective haptic hearing aids."

Border Patrol and other federal law enforcement agencies are conducting a massive surveillance network monitoring the actions of millions of Americans.
These agencies are not protecting Americans from threats. They are the threat.

Scientific Algorithm Discovery by Augmenting AlphaEvolve with Deep Research
Large language models hold promise as scientific assistants, yet existing agents either rely solely on algorithm evolution or on deep research in isolation, both of which face critical limitations. Pure algorithm evolution, as in AlphaEvolve, depends only on the internal knowledge of LLMs and quickly plateaus in complex domains, while pure deep research proposes ideas without validation, resulting in unrealistic or unimplementable solutions. We present DeepEvolve, an agent that integrates deep …

Surveillance tools exported by China, based on US tech and obtained by Chinese companies, to countries like Nepal are being used to stifle Tibetan refugees (Associated Press)

Chinese surveillance based on US tech is used to silence Tibetans in Nepal
Nepal is just one of at least 150 countries to which Chinese companies are supplying surveillance technology, from cameras in Vietnam to censorship firewalls in Pakistan to citywide monitoring systems in Kenya. This technology is now a key part of China’s push for global influence, as it provides cash-strapped governments cost-effective, if invasive, forms of policing — turning algorithms and data into a force multiplier for control. The irony at the heart of this digital authoritarianism i…
