🛡️ CDS warns no safe spot in modern warfare 🛡️

CDS Subramani stated that the traditional separation between forward and rear battle areas is dissolving in modern conflict. He mentioned this shift affects the entire nation, not just frontline troops, citing the Russia-Ukraine conflict as an example. The time gap between detecting a threat and engaging it is rapidly collapsing, according to the CDS. Furthermore, future warfare will be simultaneous across multiple domains like cyber and space.

🧪 Making amino acids from CO2 and nitrite

Researchers have achieved the electrosynthesis of arylglycines using carbon dioxide, nitrite, and aldehydes. This breakthrough was conducted by various research groups across different institutions. Several studies detail processes published between 2019 and 2025, showing multiple synthetic routes. The goal is to create valuable amino acids using greener, electrochemical methods. Future research will likely focus on scaling these sustainable production processes. 🧪

🦕 T. rex was warm-blooded, scientists confirm 🦖

Scientists have confirmed that the Tyrannosaurus rex was a warm-blooded reptile by analyzing ancient tooth enamel. Researchers at UCLA made this discovery using fossilized teeth from a specimen named "Thomas" at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles County. The analysis showed the dinosaur maintained an internal temperature of roughly 97 degrees Fahrenheit (36.3 °C) around August 2024. This endothermic trait allowed the predator to have a fast metabolism and thrive in colder areas like prehistoric Alaska. The findings, published in Science Advances, suggest the warmth was internal, not climate-dependent.

🤖 New Android malware RemControl steals banking PINs

A new Android banking trojan named RemControl tricks users into installing a fake TV app to steal sensitive financial data. Researchers found this malware targets customers across over 30 banks in countries like Italy, France, and Canada. The initial samples were submitted to VirusTotal on July 19, 2026, while the C2 domain was registered on May 12, 2026. The malware gains deep control by abusing Accessibility Service permissions and actively prevents victims from uninstalling it. Attackers are reportedly using AI to build parts of the infrastructure for this malware-as-a-service. 📱

🦇 Nature study pins bat origins to Europe

An international study published in Nature suggests that bats likely originated in Europe and then dispersed globally. Researchers from the University of Nicosia in Cyprus contributed to this work, combining modern genome analysis with fossil data. The team analyzed 103 species and 44 extinct species as part of the Bat1K consortium. This research also supported that echolocation and flight evolved early in bat evolution. Future work will use these findings to study bat aging and immunity. 🦇
