The expanding use of ZKPs in enterprise environments

Evan HarringtonScience and Technology

Zero-knowledge proofs, or ZKPs, originated in academic cryptography and gained mainstream visibility through blockchain and privacy-focused cryptocurrencies. Their core promise is simple yet powerful: one party can prove a statement is true without revealing the underlying data. As enterprises face mounting pressure to protect sensitive information, comply with strict regulations, and still collaborate across organizational boundaries, this capability is proving valuable far beyond digital assets.A hands-on perspective on zero-knowledge proofsAt an enterprise scale, ZKPs support credible trust while revealing almost nothing. Rather than sharing raw information, organizations can offer proofs that specific requirements have been satisfied. For example, a company…

Burundi’s food sector: context for CSR action on nutrition and climate resilienceSocioeconomic and nutritional landscape — Burundi stands among the world’s least affluent nations, with most families relying on smallholder agriculture for sustenance and earnings.

How are fusion projects progressing toward net energy and engineering milestones?

Evan HarringtonScience and Technology

Grasping Net Energy within Fusion ProcessesNuclear fusion aims to produce power from fusion reactions in quantities that exceed the energy required to initiate and sustain them. This goal is widely referred to as net energy gain, meaning the fusion yield surpasses the input within a defined system boundary. Scientists distinguish between: Scientific breakeven: the fusion plasma produces as much energy as the energy directly delivered to it. Engineering breakeven: the entire facility, including power systems and auxiliary equipment, produces net electricity. Reaching engineering breakeven is the ultimate milestone for fusion as a power source, and progress toward it has accelerated…

The enduring rise of America’s affluent

Evan HarringtonInvestments and Business

Although many Americans have experienced better financial conditions in recent years, these improvements have not been distributed evenly, as affluent households keep building assets and broadening their economic sway, while middle- and lower-income families encounter mounting obstacles linked to inflation, housing pressures, and restricted investment options.For decades, the American economy has reflected a deepening imbalance between those who hold substantial wealth and those struggling to build financial security. This divide has become increasingly visible in recent years, especially following the inflation surge that reshaped household spending and investment patterns across the country. Economists often describe this trend as a “K-shaped…

Avoiding narrative traps: a guide for trend-focused investors

Evan HarringtonInvestments and Business

Investors often struggle to separate compelling stories from enduring forces. A narrative is a simplified explanation that spreads quickly, usually driven by headlines, social media, or charismatic leaders. Narratives can move prices fast, but they often lack staying power. A major trend, by contrast, is a long-term shift supported by measurable data such as earnings growth, adoption curves, demographic changes, or cost declines.For example, during the early 2020s many stocks rallied on the narrative of “work from anywhere.” Some companies justified their valuations with little more than user growth projections. Meanwhile, the broader and more durable trend was enterprise cloud…

Software supply chain attacks and their influence on development

Evan HarringtonScience and Technology

Software supply-chain attacks have evolved from a niche worry into a major force reshaping contemporary software engineering, as adversaries exploit the trusted tools, libraries, and services developers rely on, enabling a single vulnerability to expose countless organizations, while high-profile breaches in recent years have transformed how teams architect, create, and sustain software, driving security considerations much earlier and more deeply into the entire development process.Gaining Insight into Software Supply-Chain AttacksA software supply-chain attack takes place when adversaries penetrate the development or delivery workflow rather than targeting the final application itself, compromising shared elements like open-source libraries, build systems, package registries,…
