On June 11, 2021 CNSA published new Hi-Res Mars images Zhurong Rover (Chinese Tianwen-1 mission) with amazing details of Utopia Planitia on Red Planet. Rover dropped/deployed special instrument camera to make group images. Camera made first shot capturing Mars Lander and Zhurong Rover together in single frame. Resolution of the images is incredible. Chinese Zhurong Mars Rover has been working on the surface of Mars for 26 Martian days, carrying out environmental perception, fire surface movement, and scientific exploration. Zhurong also made first panoramic 360 degrees image at Utopia Planitia on Mars. There is image of Parachute pack and Heat Shield on the surface of Red Planet.

A secure quantum internet is one step closer thanks to a quantum memory made from a crystal, which could form a crucial part of a device able to transmit entangled photons over a distance of 5 kilometres. Crucially, it is entirely compatible with existing communication networks, making it suitable for real-world use.

There has long been a vision of a quantum version of the internet, which would allow quantum computers to communicate across long distances by exchanging particles of light called photons that have been linked together with quantum entanglement, allowing them to transmit quantum states.

The problem is that photons get lost when they are transmitted through long lengths of fibre-optic cable. For normal photons, this isn’t an issue, because networking equipment can simply measure and retransmit them after a certain distance, which is how normal fibre data connections work. But for entangled photons, any attempt to measure or amplify them changes their state.

Google wants to train you to become a UX designer in 6 months — without a college degree. Here’s how to make the most of the certificate program and potentially make $84000 a year.

The US unemployment rate sits at 6.7%. Thanks to COVID-19, millions of Americans are still out there looking for not just a new job but also an entire new career path.

Tech fields like UX design, data analysis, and project management are looking for promising candidates, and Google announced a new career-certificate program to help make them more accessible last summer.

The forthcoming program, called Google Career Certificates, will be taught online by Google staff, take six months to complete, and be treated as the equivalent of a relevant college degree by the search giant, according to Kent Walker, Google’s senior vice president of global affairs.

Experts share their best tips on using bootcamps like Google’s to launch a career in emerging tech fields.

It sounds like a late-night infomercial: Kill germs and clean surfaces with nothing more than water and a few volts of electricity! Pay pennies a gallon! Strong enough to kill germs but gentle on your skin!

The use of electricity and water to clean and disinfect has been embraced by some food and hospitality businesses looking to save money and go green by swapping out conventional products.

At busy Whole Foods on Manhattan’s Union Square, workers keep battery-operated spray bottles designed to keep surfaces clean with water packing an electrical charge. Also available are electrolyzed oxidizing water products, or EO water, which are cleaning systems that use salt and electricity to create solutions for cleaning kitchens, prison floors and hotel rooms.
