Why CISOs Struggle to Answer the Board's Three Hardest Questions, and How to Fix the Report
The quarterly board meeting is two weeks out. The security team is pulling exports from the identity provider, the cloud posture tool, the vulnerability scanner, the SIEM and the EDR console. Someone is building a spreadsheet to reconcile them. Someone else is turning that spreadsheet into slides. Then a board member asks three questions: How secure is the organization, overall? What is
Engineering Multipole Resonances in Dielectric Metasurfaces for Transmission, Reflection, and Absorption Control
Dielectric metasurfaces have moved to the forefront of nanophotonics, offering flat, low-loss alternatives to conventional bulk optical elements for controlling the amplitude, phase, and polarization of light. These structures are of growing interest to researchers and engineers working on sensing, energy harvesting, and flat optics, as their performance hinges on precisely engineered optical…

Electricity Theft Is Rampant, but Delhi Found a Fix
It’s disheartening how much power gets generated and then promptly lost as it travels through grid networks. This leaking of electricity happens when it vanishes as heat as well as when it is pilfered by thieves and nonpaying customers. More than half of the countries that track these metrics lost at least 10 percent of their electricity in 2023, according to the World Bank. Losses topped 20…

A Brief History of the Bloomberg Terminal
Financial markets have always relied on timely information, and the drive for timeliness has always adapted to the latest technology. From clipper ships transiting the oceans to telegraph wires connecting cities to fiber-optic cables conducting trades in microseconds, traders have embraced any advantage to get the most up-to-date information. Indeed, the history of finance is really a story about…
Tech to Replace Animal Testing Is Almost Ready. Scientists Are Not
Seventeen years ago, cell biologist Donald Ingber and his colleagues at Harvard University’s Wyss Institute for Biologically Inspired Engineering submitted a paper to the journal Science describing their model human lung. It was smaller than a USB stick and made of a clear polymer slab containing narrow channels, which were lined with the type of cells that line a lung’s air sacs and blood…
