Amid the chaos of revolutionary France, one man’s mathematical obsession gave way to a calculation that now underpins much of mathematics and physics. The calculation, called the Fourier transform, decomposes any function into its parts.

Stanford Medicine scientists have developed a brain-computer interface that detects inner speech from speech-impaired patients, in a step toward restoring rapid communication.
A Harvard-affiliated study suggests that daily vitamin D supplementation may help slow biological aging by protecting DNA and preserving telomere length. The VITAL trial, which tracked over 1,000 adults for four years, found that participants taking 2,000 IU of vitamin D daily experienced less telomere shortening, effectively reducing biological aging by nearly three years.
Quantum scientists in Innsbruck have taken a major leap toward building the internet of the future. Using a string of calcium ions and finely tuned lasers, they created quantum nodes capable of generating streams of entangled photons with 92% fidelity. This scalable setup could one day link quantum computers across continents, enable unbreakable communication, and even transform timekeeping by powering a global network of optical atomic clocks that are so precise they’d barely lose a second over the universe’s entire lifetime.
Questions to inspire discussion.
Business Strategy and Market Impact.
💼 Q: How is Tesla positioning its robo taxi service in the market? A: Tesla is aiming to change the world towards sustainable transport, winning the first two-month race in deployment, service area, and metrics, rather than engaging in an “online dork battle” about robo taxis.
📊 Q: What’s Tesla’s approach to incidents in its robo taxi service? A: Tesla is carefully managing the launch to minimize the impact of incidents on reaching peak gross margin and revenue, prioritizing this over the cost of safety monitors.
FSD Supervised in Australia.
🦘 Q: How successful is Tesla’s FSD Supervised rollout in Australia? A: It’s considered a success story, with 8 cameras processing live information, navigating complex environments like Brisbane’s “spaghetti bowl” of ramps and exits, and handling roundabouts and highway merges.
