💢 Gartner Experts Warn: Companies Are Not Ready for the Quantum Computing Era
🔐 Gartner predicts that advances in quantum computing by 2030 could threaten the security of widely used asymmetric encryption methods. Many organizations are still unprepared to deal with quantum-related threats.
⚠️ One major risk is “harvest now, decrypt later” — stealing encrypted data today with the intention of decrypting it in the future when quantum computers become powerful enough.
🛡️ Experts emphasize the need to design resilient systems and adopt post-quantum cryptography (PQC) and hybrid encryption approaches to counter these emerging threats.

⏺ Scientists Develop a Chip That Generates Microbubbles for Targeted Drug Delivery
🧪 Researchers at Cornell University have developed a chip that can generate hydrogen microbubbles at specific times and locations and control them electronically.
🔬 The system uses ultrasound waves to regulate bubble movement, directing fluid flow along a defined path.
⚙️ The size and position of the bubbles play a crucial role in controlling fluid flow. Precisely adjusting the frequency of the sound waves can generate powerful fluid movement.
💊 This technology could pave the way for devices capable of delivering drugs with greater precision and targeting.

🌌 James Webb Telescope Detects a Mysterious Signal Coming from an Apparently Empty Region of Space
🔭 NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has detected a mysterious cosmic signal in a region of the sky where previous images showed no known source of light.
⏳ The signal was recorded during two observations separated by 88 days, yet it was absent from earlier observations by both Hubble and James Webb. Astronomers still don’t know what caused it.
🛰️ Researchers were able to match six signals in Webb’s Near-Infrared Spectrograph data to known distant galaxies. However, the seventh signal could not be linked to any previously identified object.
❓ What could be producing a signal from a region that appears to be empty?

👍 New Study: Cannabis May Worsen Sleep Quality Without Users Realizing It
🌙 A new study has found that cannabis use is associated with greater sleep disturbances, even though users may not notice a decline in their sleep quality. The findings challenge the common belief that cannabis helps people sleep better.
🔬 Researchers found that each additional year of cannabis use was associated with a higher likelihood of poor sleep indicators.
📊 According to the findings, every additional year of use was associated with:
▪️ 10% higher odds of insufficient sleep duration
▪️ 4% higher odds of highly fragmented sleep
▪️ 21% higher odds of prolonged periods of wakefulness

🗣 Murphy’s Law: Why Does Everything That Can Go Wrong, Go Wrong?
✈️ In 1949, at a U.S. Air Force base, an engineer named Edward Murphy was involved in a dangerous experiment. Researchers wanted to determine how much sudden deceleration the human body could withstand. To do this, they installed sensors on a rocket-powered sled.
Everything was ready. The test was conducted, but the result was surprising: no data had been recorded.
🔧 An investigation revealed that a technician had connected all the sensors incorrectly. Frustrated, Murphy made a remark that would later become one of the world’s most famous sayings:
💬 “If there is any way to do it wrong, someone will find it.”
🔄 Over time, the phrase evolved into its better-known version: “Anything that can go wrong will go wrong.”
🍞 From toast landing butter-side down to the internet failing in the middle of an important meeting, Murphy’s Law seems to describe everyday life perfectly.

🎮 New U.S. Congressional Proposal: Gamers Should Own Their Games, Not Just License Them
🇺🇸 A U.S. representative has introduced a new proposal aimed at ensuring that people who purchase video games truly own them, rather than simply receiving a license to use them. The goal is to prevent games from becoming unplayable when their servers shut down, allowing players to enjoy their titles for years to come.
🕹️ Under the proposal, companies would be required to provide offline access for internet-dependent games, ensuring buyers don’t lose access when official support ends.
⚖️ The initiative directly addresses growing concerns among gamers about ownership and long-term game preservation, which intensified following Sony’s decision to stop offering physical game releases.

📷 Why Can’t We Remember the First Two Years of Our Lives?
🧠 Almost nobody can remember their earliest years, despite experiencing thousands of new things during that time. So, where did all those memories go?
Scientists call this phenomenon childhood amnesia. Contrary to popular belief, an infant’s brain can learn and store information, but the brain structures responsible for forming and retrieving memories are still developing.
👶 That’s why most people recall their first clear memories from around the age of three or four.
🔬 Recent research suggests that early memories may not have been completely erased. Instead, the brain may have stored them, with access becoming more difficult over time.
🐭 In experiments on animals, scientists have even managed to reactivate traces of some forgotten memories.
💭 This raises a fascinating question: Have our childhood memories truly disappeared, or have we simply lost the ability to retrieve them?

🗣 UK Opens First Cancer Genomics Laboratory to Deliver Personalized Treatments
🧬 The UK has established a new facility with the launch of the Royal Marsden Cancer Genomics Centre. Using artificial intelligence, the center will help doctors select cancer treatments tailored to each patient and monitor how the disease changes throughout treatment.
🩸 One key area of focus is expanding the use of blood tests to detect circulating tumor DNA (ctDNA). These tests identify tiny fragments of tumor DNA circulating in the bloodstream.
🔬 By analyzing these fragments, doctors may be able to assess the risk of cancer returning and monitor patients more closely.

🌕 Japan Launches Historic Mission to Collect Samples from a Martian Moon
🚀 Japan is preparing to launch a spacecraft on a five-year mission to Phobos, one of Mars’ moons. After traveling hundreds of millions of kilometers, the probe will reach the Red Planet’s vicinity to investigate the origins of its two moons and assess conditions for potential future bases.
🤖 As part of the mission, a French-German rover will explore Phobos’ surface. The main spacecraft will then collect at least 10 grams of material from the moon’s surface and subsurface layers.
🌍 If successful, the collected samples will be returned to Earth inside a capsule by 2031, offering scientists a rare opportunity to study material from a Martian moon directly.

🔥 The Truth Behind Nikola Tesla’s Famous Photograph
⚡ One of the most extraordinary images in the history of science shows Nikola Tesla calmly reading a book while powerful electrical sparks fly above him. The photograph was taken in 1899 at Tesla’s laboratory in Colorado Springs.
🤔 But how could Tesla sit so close to dangerous electrical discharges without even looking up from his book? The surprising truth is that the scene never happened exactly as it appears.
📸 The photographer first captured the sparks produced by Tesla’s equipment. After switching the machine off, he asked Tesla to sit in the chair and read a book. Without changing the photographic plate, he photographed Tesla as well, combining both scenes into a single image.
✨ This technique, known as double exposure, created one of the most famous photographs in physics history—more than a century before Photoshop became widespread. Yet many people still don’t realize that the scene they see never actually occurred as depicted.

🛰️ Each satellite will feature 2,048 download beams and 2,048 upload beams, six 400-Gbps laser links, and solar panels with nearly twice the power output.
⚡ Starlink V3 is designed for launch aboard Starship. Each successful launch could add around 20 times more network capacity than a Falcon 9 launch carrying V2 satellites. Operating at altitudes of 330–360 km could also help reduce latency.
🌐 However, greater satellite capacity does not automatically translate into faster internet for every user.
