Billion-Dollar Bank Warns 7,537 Customers After Data Breach Triggers Unauthorized Account Access

A top 100 US bank just disclosed a data breach affecting the personal and confidential information of thousands of customers.

In a filing with the Office of the Maine Attorney General, Arkansas-based Arvest Bank says it’s warning 7,537 people after a technical glitch enabled unauthorized account access.

«QUANTUM TELEPORTATION»: A New Technological Breakthrough

Physicists from Oxford have, for the first time, scaled quantum computing using distributed teleportation technology — and this could change everything. From «parallel universes» to Grover’s algorithm, from cryptography to molecular modeling — the world is entering an era where «impossible» problems

One Stage of Sleep Seems Critical For Reducing Risk of Dementia

The risk of getting dementia may go up as you get older if you don’t get enough slow-wave sleep.

A 2023 study found that over-60s are 27 percent more likely to develop dementia if they lose just 1 percent of this deep sleep each year.

Slow-wave sleep is the third stage of a human 90-minute sleep cycle, lasting about 20–40 minutes. It’s the most restful stage, where brain waves and heart rate slow and blood pressure drops.

Quantum Speed Hack: Extra Qubits Slash Measurement Time Without Losing Precision

Quantum scientists have cracked a longstanding problem by devising a method to speed up measurements without losing accuracy, a key hurdle for quantum technology. By cleverly adding extra qubits, they traded “space” for time, gathering more information faster without destabilizing the fragile qua

Solar Superstorm Unleashes Rare Metal Clouds in Earth’s Upper Atmosphere

During a powerful solar storm on Mother’s Day, scientists discovered that a mysterious ionospheric phenomenon, sporadic E layers, became unusually active, especially during the storm’s recovery.

These thin, metal-rich patches appeared to ripple from the poles toward the equator, shedding new light on a region of Earth’s atmosphere that has long been overlooked.

Nanoparticle-cell interface enables electromagnetic wireless programming of mammalian transgene expression

Recent technological advances are fueling the development of cutting-edge technologies that can monitor and control physiological processes with high precision. These include devices that could control the expression of genes within living organisms, without requiring invasive surgeries or procedures.

Researchers at ETH Zurich recently introduced a new method that enables the electromagnetic programming of the wireless expression regulation (EMPOWER) of transgenes in mammals, via the interfacing of and cells.

Their proposed approach, outlined in a paper published in Nature Nanotechnology, could help to treat , including diabetes, while also opening new possibilities for research in synthetic biology and regenerative medicine.

“Mining the Moon Begins”: US Firm’s Robot to Extract Rare Helium-3 and Launch Payloads Back to Earth for Futuristic Energy Use

IN A NUTSHELL 🌕 Interlune, a Seattle-based startup, plans to extract helium-3 from the moon, aiming to revolutionize clean energy and quantum computing. 🚀 The company has developed a prototype excavator capable of digging up to ten feet into lunar soil, refining helium-3 directly on the moon for efficiency. 🔋 Helium-3 offers potential for nuclear

Virgin Galactic says production of new spaceplanes on track

WASHINGTON — Virgin Galactic says production of its new suborbital spaceplanes remains on track to allow commercial flights to begin in the middle of next year as it contemplates restarting ticket sales.

The company spent much of a May 15 earnings call talking about the technical progress it has made in the assembly of its first Delta-class vehicles, or SpaceShips, in areas such as structures, propulsion and avionics.

“An enormous amount of work is taking place across our company as well as our key suppliers,” said Michael Colglazier, chief executive of Virgin Galactic, in the call. Earlier in the day, the company released a video highlighting current progress on the vehicle, and Colglazier said the company would start a regular series of updates on assembly in June.

Norway signs Artemis Accords

WASHINGTON — Norway signed the Artemis Accords May 15, a sign that the new administration continues to advance the document outlining best practices for responsible space exploration.

Cecilie Myrseth, Norway’s minister for trade and industry, signed the Accords during an event at the headquarters of the Norwegian Space Agency in Oslo, attended by the head of the agency as well as the chargé d’affaires of the U.S. embassy there.

“This is an important step for enabling Norway to contribute to broader international cooperation to ensure the peaceful exploration and use of outer space,” Myrseth said in a statement.
