There has never been a better time to be a bug hunter, whether the goal is patching Windows or breaking into it. With AI now capable of digging up software flaws faster than any human team could manage, Microsoft has announced a sweeping overhaul of how it finds and fixes security holes across Windows, betting that the same technology fueling attackers can help defenders stay a step ahead.

The centerpiece is Microsoft Security's multi-model agentic scanning harness, codenamed MDASH, which throws multiple AI models at the Windows codebase, including third-party vulnerability discovery models. Microsoft built a dedicated cloud infrastructure just to run it at Windows scale. In plain terms, one pipeline scans critical binaries and lets different model families debate whether a suspected flaw is real, then a second Windows-specific pipeline works to prove each finding before it ever lands on an engineer's desk. Only the highest-confidence bugs make...

Major sodium-ion battery milestone passed by California startup — Unigrid aces Hyundai’s safety tests down to -20C as experts call tech a 'compelling alternative' to lithium-ion

Lithium-ion batteries are one of the most successful technologies ever invented, and now span everything from smartphones to power stations — but the technology is not without its flaws and limitations, and scientists are now busy trying to figure out which type of next-gen battery will take over next. One of
