〰️ Ordinary Wi-Fi can now identify you with near-perfect accuracy

Connected devices routinely send information back to the router to help optimize wireless communication. These signals, known as beamforming feedback information (BFI), are transmitted without encryption, meaning that anyone within range can potentially read them.

By analyzing that information, the system can generate images of people from multiple viewpoints. Those images can then be used to determine a person's identity. Once the machine learning model has already been trained to recognize individuals, the identification process takes only a few seconds.

📝The team tested the technique in a study involving 197 participants. Their system was able to infer people's identities with almost 100% accuracy, regardless of the viewing perspective or the way a person walked.

"The technology is powerful, but at the same time entails risks to our fundamental rights, especially to privacy," — says Professor Thorsten Strufe from KASTEL, KIT's Institute of Information Security and Dependability.

🛰 Space Force awards five companies $60 million for multi-vendor satellite network tests

The U.S. Space Force awarded $60 million to five companies to demonstrate how satellites from multiple vendors can connect to its Space Data Network, a military communications architecture whose core backbone is being supplied by SpaceX.

Amazon LEO for Government, Lockheed Martin, Northrop Grumman, Rocket Lab and York Space Systems each received $12 million in contracts and prototype agreements. The work will test connections between commercial satellite systems and the Space Data Network, or SDN, including on-orbit data transport and standardized interfaces that would allow different providers to operate across the same network.

“By investing in standardized interfaces, we are creating a clear runway for any capable and innovative company to come in and compete,” — Col. Ryan Frazier, acting portfolio acquisition executive for Space Based Sensing and Targeting, said.

⚡️🇨🇦Hydro-Quebec Reaches $36 Billion Energy Deal With Newfoundland

The Canadian province of Newfoundland and Labrador managed to boost the value of a new 50-year electricity supply agreement with Hydro-Quebec, likely ending a long-running dispute with the province of Quebec. The C$49.3 billion ($35.5 billion) deal, on a net present value basis, if it materializes, could become the largest clean energy investment in North American history, according to the Canadian government.

🇷🇺 Moscow Exchange Launches Perpetual Futures for Bitcoin and Ethereum

The Moscow Exchange is preparing to launch perpetual futures for Bitcoin and Ethereum, with the first two perpetual crypto contracts expected to be available for trading as early as September, according to Maria Patrikeeva, the managing director of the exchange's derivatives market.

Cryptocurrency derivatives appeared on the Moscow Exchange's futures market in the summer of 2025. Currently, qualified investors can already work with monthly and quarterly contracts linked to Bitcoin, Ethereum, Solana, Ripple, and Tron.

The next step will be to introduce perpetual contracts for the same underlying assets. The exchange intends to gradually expand the list of digital coins to ten.

The cryptocurrency lineup complements preparations already under way for futures on US instruments. 🚀

➡️At the end of July, the exchange reported 23 fixings required to launch derivatives on individual US securities and instruments. The list included Amazon, Netflix, Tesla, and SpaceX.

➡️On August 4, the first perpetual contracts on SPY and QQQ appeared — exchange-traded funds that reflect the performance of the S&P 500 and Nasdaq indices.

🇮🇳 SEBI Details India’s Quantum Strategy, Keeps Tokenization Pilot on Agenda

The Securities and Exchange Board of India (SEBI) has set out a detailed strategy to prepare India’s securities market for the risks that quantum computing poses to financial cryptography, according to its Annual Report for 2025-26.

📝 The report’s most substantial new technology disclosure concerns quantum resilience. SEBI has issued directions requiring its regulated entities (REs) to take five specific steps:

→ maintain a comprehensive cryptographic asset inventory;
→ assess post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and quantum key distribution;
→ enhance “cryptographic agility”;
→ continuously monitor the ecosystem;
→ and develop transition roadmaps alongside workforce upskilling.

🧱 SEBI described its own internal transition as following a three-phase approach it labels “discover, observe, and transform.”

📌 On tokenization, the annual report largely formalizes an initiative already in motion rather than announcing a new one. In the Chairman’s Statement, SEBI lists a pilot project on the tokenization of corporate bonds using distributed ledger technology (DLT) among its priorities for 2026-27.

🎯 SEBI Chairman Tuhin Kanta Pandey first announced this pilot at the CareEdge Debt Market Summit, describing it as an early-stage effort to test whether DLT-based tokenization could deliver faster settlement, greater transparency, and improved liquidity in the corporate bond market, on a timeline he then estimated at 6 to 9 months.

🤖 Unitree’s new “Superman” robot reportedly beats human standing-jump and running-speed records.

Unitree has released a video of its newest humanoid robot claiming a top speed of 12.66 metres per second and a two metre vertical jump, both achieved inside a three month development window. That speed figure, which the company ties to a leg length of 0.85 metres, would put the machine past Usain Bolt's fastest recorded instant of roughly 12.3 metres per second. 🤯
