Introducing PIBOT, the world’s first humanoid robot pilot

A team of researchers has developed the world’s first humanoid robot pilot. As well as being able to slide easily into the pilot’s seat and use its hands to flip switches in the cockpit, the robot – called PIBOT – uses AI technology to memorize flight … Continue reading Introducing PIBOT, the world’s first humanoid robot pilot

Solar catalyst captures methane to create pure hydrogen and carbon

Methane has a greenhouse effect 80 times worse than carbon dioxide over a 20-year period, and emissions are skyrocketing even as we start reducing CO2. That makes UCF’s new hydrocarbon-capturing, sunlight-powered catalyst a very compelling idea.Continu… Continue reading Solar catalyst captures methane to create pure hydrogen and carbon

Quick Malware Triage With Inotify Tools, (Mon, Aug 21st)

When you handle a lot of malicious files, you must have a process and tools in place to speedup the analysis. It&#;x26;#;39;s impossible to investigate all files and a key point is to find interesting files that deserve more attention. In my malware analysis lab, I use a repository called my “Malware Zoo” where I put all the files. This repository is shared across different hosts (my computer, REMnux and Windows virtual machines). This helps me to keep all the “dangerous files” in a central location and avoid spreading dangerous stuff everywhere. When you analyze a malware, you&#;x26;#;39;ll quickly generate more files: You extract shellcodes, configurations, DLLs, more executables and those files should also be analyzed. To perform a quick triage with basic operations, I rely on the Inotify[1] suite.

Light-responsive nanocrystal array lifts 1,000 times its own mass

Researchers have developed a novel material using tiny organic crystals that convert light into a substantial mechanical force able to lift 1,000 times its own mass. Without the need for heat or electricity, the photomechanical material could one day d… Continue reading Light-responsive nanocrystal array lifts 1,000 times its own mass
