Digital transformation is accelerating at an unprecedented rate—and the telecommunications industry must evolve rapidly to meet demands for connectivity and performance. Telecom operators need to keep pace with network infrastructure developments to remain competitive and continue meeting customers’ short-and long-term needs. The following six trends are shaping the future of network infrastructure for telecom operators.
In less than 50 years, the internet has experienced explosive growth, far beyond the expectations of its creators. The internet’s original architecture, built in the 1970s, assigned each connected device a unique 32-bit number—an IPv4 (internet protocol version 4) address—to exchange information with other online devices. The initial bank of available IPv4 addresses totaled around 4.2 billion, which seemed substantial at the time, but demand has already greatly exceeded supply.
Lockheed Martin has announced the addition of a state-of-the-art Additive Manufacturing facility at its Grand Prairie, Texas, USA site. The expansion includes the addition of large-format, multi-laser Additive Manufacturing machines, as well as heat treatment and inspection equipment that enables rapid development and production of AM parts across the corporation. This includes the installation of two NXG 600E machines from Nikon SLM Solutions.
“We continue to invest in AM technology to provide value for our customers in a way that empowers our engineers to innovate and rapidly integrate new product designs and capabilities to the production floor,” said Tom Carrubba, vice president of production operations at Lockheed Martin Missiles and Fire Control. “This allows us to create affordable and modular designs that can simplify both high and low-volume production processes.”
By manipulating and detecting nuclear spins in a tiny floating diamond, scientists have reported a record-long spin coherence time for a levitated system.
Forget cold plunges. The new flex could soon be human washing machines.
According to one of Japan’s oldest newspapers, an Osaka-based shower head maker called Science has developed a contraption that’s shaped like a cockpit, fills with water when a bather sits in a seat at its center, and measures the person’s pulse and other biological data via sensors to ensure the temperature is just right. It also “projects images on the inside of [its] transparent cover to help the person feel refreshed,” says the outlet.
Dubbed “Mirai Ningen Sentakuki” (human washing machine of the future), the apparatus might never go on sale. Indeed, for now the company’s plans for it appear limited to an expo in Osaka this April, where up to eight people can experience a 15-minute-long “wash and dry” each day after first booking a reservation.
The two species began burying their dead at roughly the same time and place. Now some archaeologists think competition may have played a role in burials.

Over the past decades, psychologists and policymakers have been trying to devise interventions that could dissuade individuals from engaging in dishonest social behaviors, such as tax evasion or fraud. One promising strategy they identified entails asking people to commit to being honest before they are given the opportunity to engage in dishonest behavior.
While many studies found evidence suggesting that honesty oaths can reduce dishonest behavior, very few explored how different interventions utilizing these oaths compare. Researchers at Aarhus University and other institutes worldwide recently carried out a study investigating the effectiveness of various ex-ante honesty oath interventions.
Their findings, published in Nature Human Behavior, suggest that while different honesty oath-based interventions can successfully curb dishonesty, their effectiveness varies greatly depending on their content. The researchers also identified an intervention that appears to be particularly promising for reducing dishonest behavior.
Octopi are smart 👌 👏 😎 👍
Octopuses are among the most intelligent, adaptable, and ingenious creatures on Earth, says researcher.
