The United States Senate has voted to advance a resolution that could force US President Donald Trump to seek congressional authorization to continue the country’s war with Iran.The vote on a procedural war-powers measure on Tuesday passed by 50 to 47, with four Republicans also voting in favor, according to Reuters. Policymakers have been arguing that Congress, not the president, should have ​the power to send troops to war, as spelled out in the US Constitution. The US-Israeli war with Iran has been going on for almost three months, putting pressure on global economies because of surging fuel and energy prices after…

Turn a Blind Eye, located in Whatlington near Battle, has applied for planning permission from Rother District Council to operate as a camping, caravanning, and motorhome site with up to 30 pitches.

Google is completely revamping its search experience, and that doesn’t stop at YouTube. Like the rest of Google, YouTube’s search bar is getting infused with AI tools like “Ask YouTube,” a feature that is supposed to give users a more sophisticated search experience. “With Ask YouTube, you can ask more complex search queries, such as wanting tips on how to teach your kid to ride a bike, or finding creator reviews of cozy games to play before bedtime,” the company explained. “You can even ask follow-up questions to continue refining what you’re looking for.” YouTube will compile both Shorts and…

Here’s a stat that tells two stories at once: Egypt’s AI deal count jumped 88% year-on-year in 2025, and pre-seed and seed AI deals across North Africa rose 56%. That’s real progress – a clear sign that early-stage investors are backing AI experiments built in local languages and markets. At the same time, the UAE and Saudi Arabia still captured 87% of all MENA AI funding in the same year. North Africa is moving – and the gap to close is well understood. MENA AI funding reached approximately $858 million in 2025, roughly double the previous year. Egypt alone recorded…

Shay Shwartz knows a lot about email phishing attacks. As a teenager, he made money as a hacker, but after getting caught at age 16, he realized he could use his cyber talents to prevent attacks rather than launch them. He went on to spend about a decade in top-tier cybersecurity roles, leading major projects for Israel’s elite defense and intelligence units, including work connected to the Iron Dome project, before joining Axis, the startup later acquired by HPE. All along, he had been itching to launch his own startup, and two years ago, he finally took the plunge. His…

Among all of the possible chemical compounds, it’s estimated that between 1020 and 1060 may hold potential as small-molecule drugs.Evaluating each of those compounds experimentally would be far too time-consuming for chemists. So, in recent years, researchers have begun using artificial intelligence to help identify compounds that could make good drug candidates. One of those researchers is MIT Associate Professor Connor Coley PhD ’19, the Class of 1957 Career Development Associate Professor with shared appointments in the departments of Chemical Engineering and Electrical Engineering and Computer Science and the MIT Schwarzman College of Computing. His research straddles the line between chemical engineering and…
