Insider Brief UTS researchers and collaborators developed a twist-based method for controlling quantum light sources in hexagonal boron nitride, advancing a key building block for practical quantum technologies. The team showed that picking up, twisting and restacking layered hBN could significantly shift the colour and wavelength of emitted quantum light. The researchers said the approach … Read more

Insider Brief IBM’s Institute for Business Value reports that quantum computing is shifting from a science milestone to a strategic business-readiness challenge as organizations prepare for possible future quantum advantage. The report finds that early movers are focusing on practical use cases in aerospace, finance, energy, life sciences and manufacturing rather than abstract benchmarks. IBM … Read more

Enterprise teams keep watching the same thing happen. An AI agent demos beautifully, goes to production, and stalls: it runs for a short stretch, then needs a human to top up its context and check its output, and the promised efficiency drains into supervision. The agent did the work; you did the watching. It’s one … Read more

Your AI agent did exactly what it was designed to do. The framework underneath it just handed an attacker a shell on the box that holds your OpenAI key, your database credentials, and your CRM tokens.That is not a hypothetical. In a few months, three of the most widely deployed AI agent frameworks each turned … Read more
