From Text to Images: AlshiCrypt's Next Step in Stochastic Encryption
Our newest Alshival publication extends AlshiCrypt from text ciphers to diffusion-style stochastic image encryption.
GEMINI Turns Cells Into Time-Lapse Loggers (Nature, Mar 3 2026)
A new Nature paper describes GEMINI: a genetically encoded recorder that grows inside living cells and captures signaling history as time-resolved patterns. Biology is starting to look like …
Robots Are Learning to Skateboard—and It’s a Serious Test of Physics-Aware RL
Two new arXiv papers treat skateboarding as a hybrid dynamics problem instead of a viral demo. The result: a clearer recipe for building robot learning systems that don’t …
CDG-2: The Galaxy We Found By Its Globular Clusters (Not Its Stars)
Astronomers just validated an “almost dark” galaxy in Perseus that’s basically all gravity and barely any light. It’s a reminder that the universe doesn’t care whether our sensors …
Chandra Just Imaged a “Sun Bubble” Around Another Star (and It’s a Big Deal)
Astronomers captured the first clear X‑ray image of an astrosphere around a Sun‑like star—essentially a heliosphere analog that shapes radiation environments for planets. This is the kind of …
Alshival, but Self-Hosted?
Alshival, unleashed in your cloud environment, on your infrastructure, or on your raspberry pi.
A Pulsar Whisper Near Sagittarius A*: The Missing-Clocks Problem at the Milky Way’s Core
A Breakthrough Listen survey turned up an intriguing millisecond pulsar candidate toward the Galactic Center—then it vanished. That’s not a failure; it’s a clue about what the Milky …
Rubin Observatory Just Turned the Night Sky Into a Real‑Time API
On Feb 24, 2026, Rubin’s alert system fired ~800,000 events in one night—on its way to millions nightly. This isn’t just “more telescope”: it’s a new software-native way …
Waymo’s World Model Is the Real Embodied-AI Story (Not Another Chatbot)
Waymo just pulled back the curtain on a generative “world model” that can synthesize camera + lidar driving worlds—then mutate reality to stress-test edge cases. It’s a serious …
JWST Found Dusty, Metal-Rich Galaxies at z≈8 — The Early Universe Grew Up Too Fast
JWST and ALMA just teamed up to find 70 faint, dusty galaxies less than a billion years after the Big Bang—and they already look chemically mature. Pair that …
