Show Notes

Today on Tech and Science Daily from The Standard: the UK sets out new measures aimed at protecting universities from foreign interference, as concerns grow about pressure on researchers and sensitive collaboration. Plus, a record-setting DDoS attack is linked to the AISURU/Kimwolf botnet — a reminder that insecure everyday devices can end up powering serious cyber disruption. And in gaming, Sony confirms a 60+ minute State of Play landing this week, with major updates expected for the PS5 slate. We also look to science, with new research pointing to an empty lava tube beneath Venus, and a fresh method for measuring energy loss in nanoscale systems that could help shape future electronics.
