Live demonstration shows reliable satellite-5G connectivity on the move
Making video calls while travelling – or when faced with an unstable internet connection – just got easier, thanks to a technology that allows devices to seamlessly bond satellite and ground connections. The European Space Agency (ESA) recently partnered with British advanced networking technology company UniVirtua to conduct a live demonstration of the dashAlpha platform, which could be used to uninterruptedly connect vehicles essential to disaster relief as well as self-driving cars.

The launch took place after SpaceX laun Real-time tracking of atomic nucleus magnetism achieved in quantum experiment
Researchers at Delft University of Technology have, for the first time, directly observed the magnetic nucleus of a single atom switching in real time. Using a scanning tunneling microscope (STM), the team read out the nuclear spin through the atom's electrons and discovered that the spin remained stable for several seconds, far longer than expected. The results, reported in Nature Communication 'Blood Moon' to rise during total lunar eclipse Sunday night
Stargazers will have a chance to see a "Blood Moon" on Sunday night during a total lunar eclipse visible across Asia and swathes of Europe and Africa.
