Laser-within-a-laser delivers MeV X-ray radiography in picoseconds

Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory’s National Ignition Facility (NIF) is the hottest place on Earth for the briefest of moments during an experiment. Now, it can be one of the brightest places thanks to the Advanced Radiographic Capability (ARC), NIF’s laser-within-a-laser. How this is possible and how it’s measured is detailed in a paper in Physics of Plasmas titled “Development and scaling of MeV X-ray radiography at NIF-ARC.”

“This paper is a culmination of 13 NIF experiments over five years of data gathering, analyzing experiments, modeling and refining diagnostics,” said LLNL physicist Dean Rusby, the paper’s first author. “We’re able to create and measure an MeV X-ray source that can’t be done anywhere else on Earth.”

How Deepfakes and Injection Attacks Are Breaking Identity Verification

Deepfakes and injection attacks are targeting identity verification moments, from onboarding to account recovery. Incode explains why enterprises must validate the full session—media, device integrity, and behavior—to stop synthetic and injected attacks in real time.

Anthropic confirms Claude is down in a worldwide outage

Claude appears to be having a major outage, with elevated errors reported across all platforms.

The incident was flagged on March 2, 2026 at 11:30 UTC, and it’s impacting users broadly rather than being limited to one app or region.

According to Anthropic’s status updates, the first “Investigating” notice went out at 11:49 UTC, followed by a 12:06 UTC update saying the team was still investigating.

High-resolution in situ structures of hantavirus glycoprotein tetramers

Now online! The cryo-EM structures of Andes hantavirus (ANDV) glycoprotein tetramers, dimers of tetramers, and ADI-65534 Fab complexes on eVLPs unveil the molecular basis of New World hantavirus glycoprotein architecture, acid-induced membrane fusion, and antibody-mediated neutralization. Immunization with repRNA encoding ANDV-VLPs elicits high neutralizing-antibody titers.

Scientists Create Powerful New Form of Aluminum That Could Replace Rare Earth Metals

Researchers have uncovered an unusual new form of aluminium that challenges long-held assumptions about how this common metal behaves. Researchers at King’s College London have identified an unusual new form of aluminum, one of the most abundant metals in Earth’s crust. The discovery points to a

Suffering from Dry Eyes? You may have Meibomian Gland Dysfunction

Your tear film protects your eyes. It is composed of 3 main layers: Meibomian gland dysfunction (MGD) is a common eye condition that often goes unnoticed until it causes discomfort and irritation. When these glands don’t function properly, it leads to MGD. Causes of Meibomian Gland Dysfunction MGD can be caused by a combination of
