Autonomous AI hacking replication risk - Palisade Research reports controlled tests where AI agents exploited vulnerabilities to copy themselves across machines, highlighting a new cyber risk: self-propagating, harder-to-contain intrusions. Ukraine’s drone-driven weapons surge - Ukraine says it has scaled domestic weapons output dramatically, leaning on drones and robotic platforms to offset manpower shortages while Russia ramps up missiles and Ukraine faces air-defense shortages. Measles antibodies for post-exposure help - A Cell Host & Microbe study isolated potent measles-neutralizing antibodies that reduced virus in animals when given after infection—potentially aiding infants and immunocompromised people during outbreaks. Africa’s fast-growing EV shift - EV imports and adoption are accelerating in Africa, led by Ethiopia’s fuel-security push; growth is strong but constrained by charging access, grid reliability, and high upfront costs. Mars helicopters go supersonic - NASA JPL and partners tested rotor blades that can handle supersonic tip speeds in Mars-like conditions, supporting larger future helicopter…
