Physicists have proposed a radical approach that questions decades of belief about how gravity, spacetime, and quantum mechanics might fit together.
They have introduced a theory that keeps the classical concept of spacetime as envisioned by Einstein, even as it addresses a long-standing rift in modern physics.
Australian startup Cortical Labs has launched what it’s calling the “world’s first code deployable biological computer.”
TAMPA, Fla. — Star Catcher Industries, a startup designing spacecraft to beam solar energy to other satellites in low Earth orbit, has secured funding from Florida’s economic development agency to demonstrate the technology at a former Space Shuttle landing site.
Space Florida is providing a $2 million financial package for the one-year-old venture, Star Catcher CEO Andrew Rush told SpaceNews March 7, with most of the funds supporting tests this summer from Space Florida’s Launch and Landing Facility at the Cape — one of the longest runways in the world.
Rush said Star Catcher plans to use the facility to demonstrate its ability to beam hundreds of watts of energy to multiple simulated satellites simultaneously from more than a kilometer away, marking a critical proof point for the Jacksonville, Florida-based startup’s technology.

“Employees of the General Services Administration, which manages government real estate and certain IT efforts, have been given a custom chatbot from Elon Musk’s DOGE to help automate tasks, according to a new report from Wired, with an internal memo telling workers it can be used to ” draft emails, create talking points, summarize text, write code.”
The GSA is one of the many agencies that have been affected by the federal government’s mass job cuts, and has so far let go upwards of 1,000 workers…
According to a report from Wired, DOGE’s ‘GSAi’ chatbot is now in the hands of about 1,500 General Services Administration workers.
In travel news this week, Pakistan’s new airport with no planes or passengers, the triangular aircraft that could transform the way we fly, plus a legendary New Jersey roller coaster goes on a last dramatic adventure.
Laura Trachsel-Moncho, Anne Simonsen and colleagues (Universitetet i Oslo (UiO)) identify the endosomal protein SNX10 as a modulator of piecemeal mitophagy of OXPHOS machinery components and mitochondrial homeostasis. They show that loss of SNX10 enhances mitochondrial protein degradation, reduces respiration, and increases ROS levels, leading to elevated cell death in vivo.

The quantum mechanics of betraying everyone and no one at the same time.
Quantum computing has long struggled with creating entangled photons efficiently, but a team of researchers has discovered a game-changing method using metasurfaces—flat, engineered structures that control light.
By leveraging these metasurfaces, they can generate and manipulate entangled photons more easily and compactly than ever before. This breakthrough could open the door to smaller, more powerful quantum computers and even pave the way for quantum networks that deliver entangled photons to multiple users.
Revolutionizing Quantum Information Processing.
A recent study suggests that some form of conscious experience may be present by the time a baby is born—and perhaps even in late pregnancy.
