A decentralized communications technology that does not depend on routing digital packets through a physical network of towers, gateways, microwave beams, and optical fibers. The text to be transmitted is encoded with a multiband frequency/amplitude modulation scheme, transmitted by molecular density waves, and decoded with a pair of miniaturized spectral filter banks implanted under the receiver's skull. Range up to tens of meters.

As China has become deeply enmeshed in strategic competition with the US
– while edging towards outright hostilities with other regional neighbours
– Washington’s alarm at the pace of its advancement in space is growing ever-louder.
Beijing has made no secret over its ambitions and a spate of recent successful space missionshas shown that the government’s rhetoric is backed by technological advances.
On Friday, China launched a robotic spacecraft on a round trip to the…

«Given the Moon’s weaker gravity (and movement differences between it and Earth), time moves slightly faster there. So an Earth-based clock on the lunar surface would appear to gain an average of 58.7 microseconds per Earth day. As the US and other countries plan Moon missions to research, explore and (eventually) build bases for permanent residence, using a single standard will help them synchronize technology and missions requiring precise timing.»

The European Commitment to Human-Centered Technology: The Integral Role of HCI in the EU AI Act's Success
The evolution of AI is set to profoundly reshape the future. The European Union, recognizing this impending prominence, has enacted the AI Act, regulating market access for AI-based systems. A salient feature of the Act is to guard democratic and humanistic values by focusing regulation on transparency, explainability, and the human ability to understand and control AI systems. Hereby, the EU AI Act does not merely specify technological requirements for AI systems. The EU issues a democratic ca…

China's #EinsteinProbe (EP) astronomical satellite, sent into space in January this year, has captured its first in-orbit detection images: https://english.news.cn/20240427/c635065fbeed4836a559a12493e83411/c.html - inspired by the functions of lobster eyes, EP uses new X-ray detection technology to observe mysterious transient phenomena in the universe that flicker like fireworks.

Violation of Bell's Inequality in the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt Form with Entangled Quantum States Revisited
Scientific imagination and experimental ingenuity are at the heart of physics. One of the most known instances where this interplay between theory (i.e., foundations) and experiments (i.e., technology) occurs is in the discussion of Bell's inequalities. In this paper, we present a revisitation of the violation of Bell's inequality in the Clauser-Horne-Shimony-Holt (CHSH) form with entangled quantum states. First, we begin with a discussion of the 1935 Einstein-Podolski-Rosen (EPR) paradox (i.e.…
