Eco Wave Power’s U.S. subsidiary has entered into an agreement with Germany-based AI engineering to develop an AI-powered digital twin platform for its wave energy technology.Source: Eco Wave Power The companies have begun Phase 1 of the Eco Wave Power – Digital Twin & Energy-Aware Computing project, combining advanced physics-based simulation with Eco Wave Power’s real-world engineering, wave and operational data. This first phase will focus on digitally modeling how ocean waves interact with Eco Wave Power‘s proprietary floaters. Using AI engineering’s PAMICS simulation technology, the companies will evaluate floater behavior, structural loads and theoretical energy input under different sea…

The recent glacial collapse and catastrophic floods in Nepal and Tibet are not isolated tragedies (Report, 28 August). They reflect accelerating climate disruption that disproportionately affects the countries and people that are least responsible for global emissions.As climate change intensifies, glaciers around the world, including in the Himalayas, are melting at unprecedented rates, destabilising ecosystems and causing glacial collapse and ice-and-rock landslides, destroying settlements, villages and livelihoods in minutes. No one died when a Swiss glacier collapsed last year, owing to early-warning systems that were in place. But a lack of early-warning systems means that the disaster in Nepal and…

Today could be the day Tesla changes forever.   In a couple of hours, Tesla will “launch” the Cybercab — a small, gold, two-seater sedan with no steering wheel or pedals that uses cameras and AI to navigate the world — in its hometown of Austin, Texas.  The company hasn’t said what the launch will entail, exactly. It could be a few cars offering rides in a small area downtown, or a far grander affair in both size and scope.  Tesla certainly wants you to believe it’s the latter.   In the runup to the event, Tesla staged dozens — perhaps more…

Most teams building a shopping assistant or agent rebuild the same scaffolding: an agent loop, a tool layer over the catalog, an approval gate, and an eval suite. Anthropic has now released that scaffolding as code. This week, they published anthropics/commerce-agents, a reference blueprint containing a shopping agent and a merchant agent, along with four runnable verticals: retail, travel, telecom and entertainment. It ships alongside two write-ups: a product announcement and an engineering deep-dive, A guide to the anatomy of effective commerce agents. Is it deployable? Yes. The repository is Apache 2.0, runs locally on Python 3.11+ and Node 22…

Cisco has released patches to address a critical security flaw affecting 10 Silicon One-based Nexus 9000 switches that could allow an unauthenticated, remote attacker to execute code as root, alongside an IOS XR hardening release bundling 7 umbrella CVEs, 2 of which are rated 9.8, with no workaround for any IOS XR version. The Nexus vulnerability, tracked as CVE-2026-20212 (CVSS score: 9.8), is a case of binding to an unrestricted IP address that leaves TCP ports 43210 and 43211 reachable in the default Layer 3 virtual routing and forwarding (VRF) instance. An attacker who can reach a switch’s address on…

Payward, the parent company of crypto exchange Kraken, and fintech company SoFi Technologies on Thursday announced a deal to route SoFi customers’ crypto orders through Kraken’s institutional trading platform and list SoFi’s stablecoin on the exchange. Under the agreement, SoFi will send its digital asset order flow to Kraken Prime, Kraken’s prime brokerage arm, which launched in 2025.  Rather than filling trades against a single order book, Kraken Prime uses smart order routing to compare prices and depth across multiple venues and execute where the fill is best. SoFi said customers will see no change to the app itself. Payward…
