Tech that just got out.Explained so a 12-year-old gets it, checked against the original paper, then turned into business ideas you can test this week.

Research Radar/AI agents & MCP/South Korea · USA
Researchers hid fake fields inside data that AI agents read, using quote-like characters. The attack worked 49.1 percent of the time, while old-style prompt injection worked 0.2 percent.
Research Radar/Semiconductors & chips/United Arab Emirates · USA
A review of chiplet security says guards built into the base under the chips cost about 4 percent of speed. The paper runs no new experiment, so every number comes from work it cites.
Research Radar/Drones & autonomous vehicles/USA · Germany
A US workshop of 47 experts named 12 technical challenges standing between today's drones and fleets that work like national infrastructure. It is a vision report with no experiment.
Research Radar/Space tech/Germany · USA
In a computer model, 24 shoebox satellites stuck to a dead 668 kg craft turned it 180 degrees in 1,228 seconds. The worst pointing error was 0.6 degrees.
Research Radar/Cloud computing/China · Canada
One default setting in the software that serves chatbots does not lower peak power, but it cuts how fast that power swings by up to 42.6 percent. A grid would need about a fifth less emergency reserve.
Research Radar/Cybersecurity/USA
A review of 85 studies finds 47 papers on how to attack AI agents and 12 on how to defend them. The layer where agents actually act gets less than five percent of the research.
Research Radar/Quantum computing/USA · United Kingdom
Quantinuum ran a complete error-correction design on its Helios machine, not just a memory test. The protected version made fewer mistakes than the bare hardware in every test, and no bad runs were thrown away.
Research Radar/Robotics/China · Singapore · USA
A new study trained robots on 5,000 hours of video shot from people's own eyes. Those robots beat robots trained on robot video. The gap was biggest on tasks the robots had never seen before.
