A low-dose, single-exposure electron diffraction approach is used to reveal the dislocation character and operative slip systems in beam-sensitive molecular crystals.
Lead-208 is the heaviest known doubly magic nucleus and its structure is therefore of special interest. Despite this magicity, which acts to provide a strong restorative force toward sphericity, it is known to exhibit both strong octupole correlations and some of the strongest quadrupole collectivity observed in doubly magic systems. In this Letter, we employ state-of-the-art experimental equipment to conclusively demonstrate, through four Coulomb-excitation measurements, the presence of a large, negative, spectroscopic quadrupole moment for both the vibrational octupole 3_1^- and quadrupole 2_1^+$ state, indicative of a preference for prolate deformation of the states.
CISA adds five exploited vulnerabilities to its KEV catalog, including flaws in Cisco, Microsoft, and Progress software.
The next step involves fetching and executing a Python script from the same SharePoint location that serves as a shellcode loader for KaynLdr, a reflective loader written in C and ASM that’s capable of launching an embedded DLL, in this the Havoc Demon agent on the infected host.
“The threat actor uses Havoc in conjunction with the MicrosoQ Graph API to conceal C2 communication within well-known services,” Fortinet said, adding the framework supports features to gather information, perform file operations, as well as carry out command and payload execution, token manipulation, and Kerberos attacks.
The development comes as Malwarebytes revealed that threat actors are continuing to exploit a known loophole in Google Ads policies to target PayPal customers with bogus ads served via advertiser accounts that may have been compromised.

Hippos spend 16 hours a day submerged in water. Withough Sun protection, they wouldn’t survive.
That reddish substance that sometimes appears on the skin of hippopotamuses?
That unique secretion serves as a sunscreen, protecting them from solar radiation. The secretion contains two highly acidic and unstable compounds: hipposudoric acid (red) and norhipposudoric acid (orange).
When these compounds mix with mucus and dry on the hippo’s skin, they form a durable layer that acts as a natural sunscreen, protecting the animal from harmful UV rays for hours. Hippos are semiaquatic, spending up to 16 hours a day submerged in water to stay cool, but this does not shield their skin from the sun, making their natural sunscreen essential.
Scientists believe the secretion is synthesized from amino acids when exposed to oxygen, though much about its exact mechanisms remains unknown. Recent research has revealed that the secretion, often referred to as “hippo sweat,” contains microscopic structures that scatter light, providing both sunblock and sunscreen properties. The substance also includes red and orange pigments capable of absorbing ultraviolet light, contributing to its effectiveness.
This discovery has sparked interest in developing human sunscreen products inspired by hippo sweat, potentially combining sun protection, antiseptic, and insect-repellent properties. Researchers collected samples from zoo hippos and found that the secretion remained uncontaminated by bacteria, yeast, or fungi even after months of storage. Microscopic analysis revealed two types of liquid crystalline structures within the sweat, which effectively scatter light, reduce viscosity, and help the secretion spread evenly over the skin.

(Yicai) March 3 — China Fusion Energy, a state-owned pioneer in an experimental technology to produce unlimited amounts of clean energy by replicating processes of the sun, has gained almost CNY1.8 billion (USD240.3 million) in investment from two major power companies.
China Nuclear Power, another affiliate of Beijing-headquartered China National Nuclear Corporation, invested CNY1 billion into Fusion Energy, while Zhejiang province-based thermal power giant Zheneng Electric Power allocated CNY750 million (USD102.8 million), the two investors announced recently.
After these transactions, CNNC remains the largest shareholder of Fusion Energy, which is expected to receive more investment from state-owned enterprises in the future.
