According to a new report from ISACA, 27 percent of US companies are unable to fill cybersecurity positions, and most applicants aren't qualified for the job. Here's how to better recruit cyber professionals.

When I ask people to picture a coder, they usually imagine someone like Mark Zuckerberg: a hoodied college dropout who builds an app in a feverish 72-hour programming jag — with the goal of getting insanely rich and, as they say, "changing the world."
But this Silicon Valley stereotype isn't even geographically accurate. The Valley employs only 8 percent of the nation's coders. All the other millions?

When it comes to cybercrime and crisis leadership, organizations would do well to borrow from the military concept of "left of boom, right of boom."
The boom, in this case, is the discovery of a cyber breach. You can think of it as a point on a timeline along which the attack and its aftermath will play out.

Innovation leaders are faced with a very tough challenge, charged with both driving leadership in the traditional corporate sense, but also with facilitating internal innovation, or intrapreneurship, among their subordinates.

By age 45, most of us will need glasses at least for reading. That's because our eyes' ability to accommodate — to change focus to see objects at different distances — degrades with age. In young eyes, the eyeball's crystalline lens changes shape easily, allowing this accommodation. But as we get older, this lens stiffens. Objects in close range suddenly look blurry. Hence the "readers" most middle-aged adults begin wearing on a chain or tucking in a handbag, or the bifocals worn by those who already had vision problems.

Modern batteries aren't hampered so much by their capacity as their long-term lifespan — a lithium-ion pack can easily become useless after a few years of heavy use. That's bad enough for your phone, but it's worse for energy storage systems that may have to stick around for the long haul. If Harvard researchers have their way, you may not have to worry about replacing power backs quite so often. They've developed a flow battery (that is, a battery that stores energy in liquid solutions) which should last for over a decade.

Doctors in Fort Worth were scratching their heads last year as they planned surgery for Ivy Chacon, a little girl from West Texas who was born in June 2015 with an unusual combination of heart defects.
Even though the surgical team at Cook Children's Medical Center had years of experience treating pediatric heart conditions, the rarity of Ivy's case meant they would be delving into somewhat uncharted territory.

It's summer in Antarctica right now, which means temperatures along the coastline are hovering around freezing. David Johnston, a marine biologist at Duke University, and his colleagues have been taking advantage of this balmy weather. Over the past several weeks, they have sent fixed wing and multicopter drones soaring over the shoreline and coastal seas.

Two years ago, Diane Hoffman-Kim grew her first brain ball. She started by dropping a few mouse nerve cells into a special nonstick petri dish, and with nothing but each other to hold on to, the cells grew into a sphere less than a millimeter wide: a mini-brain. The biological engineer has since reared thousands more of these organoids, with neurons that spark with lively electrical activity. Except ... they still aren't quite alive.

Tire production is a multi-billion dollar industry that manufactures billions of tires every single year. Modern tires exhibit impressive performance and durability, while maintaining a relatively low cost. The one thing they don't have? A particularly friendly environmental impact, due to the fact that they're manufactured from synthetic natural rubber, a polymer that's synthesized from the petroleum-derived molecule known as isoprene.
