GPT-5.6 SOL tops AI online mall test after a year, study finds
Some AI models increased initial assets more than 14-fold in a test that put them in charge of running a virtual online shopping mall for 365 days, while others went bankrupt after failing to manage cash flow, a study found. Researchers provided 18 models with 100,000 yuan each and had them handle tasks from pricing to returns and funding. OpenAI\'s GPT-5.6 SOL ranked first by final assets.

Hong Kong researchers demonstrate conditional eavesdropping technique reconstructing headphone audio from 30 metres away
A Hong Kong research team has disclosed an eavesdropping technique that captures electromagnetic signals leaking from device circuits to reconstruct audio, without hacking Bluetooth communication. The method, dubbed InjectEave, was presented at USENIX Security 2026 after tests on 11 commercial devices. The team said it reconstructed headphone playback, wired phone call audio and some smart home device states, including voice through a wall, and reported a maximum 30-metre result under sustained use of a 10-watt transmitter.

KAIST develops cap-like OLED to prevent hair loss
KAIST has developed an OLED-based wearable phototherapy device for hair loss that can be worn like a cap. The team applied a special OLED light source to a flexible, textile-like platform to provide non-invasive treatment. Unlike rigid, helmet-type devices using LED or laser point sources, the cap integrates a near-infrared surface-emitting OLED to deliver uniform light across the scalp. Researchers designed the OLED to emit selectively in the 730 to 740 nm band.
