Cybercrime group crashes Penn’s Canvas system and demands ransom
https://www.thedp.com/article/2026/05/penn-canvas-shinythunters-data-breach-hack-second
Students were unable to access Canvas on Thursday afternoon after cybercrime group ShinyHunters shut down Penn’s access to the interface.
The May 7 data breach comes after ShinyHunters — notorious in the hacking community for large-scale data breaches — claimed responsibility for breaching Instructure, the company that manages Canvas, last week. In the message posted on Penn’s Canvas page, the hackers wrote that any university that does not wish to have its data released should contact the group before May 12.

***A newly demonstrated link between a time crystal and a mechanical system opens a door scientists once thought closed.***
A shimmering crystal owes its color to the precise arrangement of its atoms. Physicist Frank Wilczek, who won the Nobel Prize in 2012, proposed that similar order could emerge in quantum systems, not in space but in time. He called these systems time crystals, describing them as structures that remain in their lowest energy state while repeating motion continuously without any external energy input. Scientists confirmed their existence in experiments in 2016.

Scientists Break Light’s Limits With “Narwhal” Wavefunctions

***A long-standing limitation in photonics may be giving way to a new regime of light control.***
Photonic technologies have struggled to shrink at the same pace as electronics. The limitation comes from basic physics. The uncertainty principle links how tightly light can be confined to its wavelength, which in the visible and near-infrared range can be up to a thousand times larger than the de Broglie wavelength of electrons used in circuits. As a result, photonic chips remain relatively large, and optical imaging faces strict resolution limits.

A twisted pair of photonic crystals integrated with MEMS can dynamically control the handedness of light on a chip.
Researchers at the Harvard John A. Paulson School of Engineering and Applied Sciences (SEAS) have developed a chip scale device that can actively control the “handedness” of light as it moves through it, a property known as optical chirality. The system works by slightly twisting two specially engineered photonic crystals.

Scientists Are Trying to Train Lab-Grown Brains Which Started to Solve Problems.
https://www.popularmechanics.com/science/health/a70596419/lab-brain-cart-pole-problem/
While creating organs sounds like sci-fi fodder, scientists have actually experimented with the idea for more than a century. For example, in 1907, American biologist Henry Van Peters Wilson demonstrated the foundational principles of lab-grown organs, or “organoids,” by showing how disassociated cells from a sea sponge could self-organize and regenerate in vitro. For decades, this exploration continued on in various animals until eventually, in 2009, scientists created the first 3D organoid using the intestinal stem cells of a mouse.

Only a year later, he thinks he was wrong. “I now expect to lose this bet,” he declared on his blog.

The 19th-century mathematical clue that led to quantum mechanics
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/03/260309225224.htm
More than a century before quantum mechanics was born, Irish mathematician William Rowan Hamilton stumbled onto an idea that would quietly foreshadow one of the deepest truths in physics. While studying the paths of light rays and moving objects, Hamilton noticed a striking mathematical similarity between them and used it to develop a powerful new framework for mechanics. At the time, it seemed like a clever analogy—but decades later, as scientists uncovered the strange wave-particle nature of light and matter, Hamilton’s insight took on new meaning.

Yesterday, Apple announced its newest low-cost MacBook Neo, starting at $599 in the United States, or about $499 for education and students. Some online criticism emerged regarding Apple's decision to offer a laptop with only 8 GB of RAM in 2026, with no options for higher RAM capacity. However, this 8 GB of RAM is a design choice Apple made at TSMC's packaging facilities for the A18 Pro chip. Inside the MacBook Neo, Apple decided to reuse the iPhone 16 Pro's chip, which comes from TSMC with 8 GB of LPDDR5X memory. This memory is attached directly above the A18 Pro SoC using Integrated Fan-Out Package on Package (InFO-PoP), creating a 3D wafer-level fan-out package. This package is designed to hold memory directly above the SoC die, resulting in a smaller PCB design without the LPDDR5X module taking up over 100 mm² of PCB area.

As the industry moves from simple Large Language Model (LLM) inference toward autonomous agentic systems, the challenge for devs have shifted. It is no longer just about the model; it is about the environment in which that model operates. A team of researchers from Alibaba released CoPaw, an open-source framework designed to address this by providing a standardized workstation for deploying and managing personal AI agents.

Scientists discover microbe that breaks a fundamental rule of the genetic code
https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2026/02/260227071920.htm
Scientists at UC Berkeley have discovered a microbe that bends one of biology’s most sacred rules. Instead of treating a specific three-letter DNA code as a clear “stop” signal, this methane-producing archaeon sometimes reads it as a green light—adding an unusual amino acid and continuing to build the protein. The result is a kind of genetic coin flip: two different proteins can emerge from the same code, influenced partly by environmental conditions

Matching vibrations is all it takes to shut down superconductivity in a crystal
https://phys.org/news/2026-02-vibrations-superconductivity-nearby-crystal.html
The world is never really at rest. Even in a vacuum near ultracold temperatures where all classical motion should come to a halt, you'll find quantum fluctuations. In thin, two-dimensional materials, these include random vibrations that can alter electromagnetic fields, a feature that theorists have posited could be quite useful for modifying materials.

Bioweapons Expert Found Dead Days Before Testifying Against Bill Gates
https://thepeoplesvoice.tv/bioweapons-expert-found-dead-days-before-testifying-against-bill-gates-depopulation-agenda/
Dr. Francis Boyle—the Harvard professor who literally wrote the America’s 1989 Biological Weapons Act and was set to be the star witness against Bill Gates and Pfizer CEO Albert Bourla in the ongoing Dutch “crimes against humanity” trial—has been found dead, days before he was scheduled to give a sealed deposition proving the mRNA shots were intentionally designed as depopulation weapons.
