The Download: a quantum radar, and chipmakers’ deal with the US government

technologyreview.com Rhiannon Williams 2025-12-03 11:10:00

Physicists have created a new type of radar that could help improve underground imaging, using a cloud of atoms in a glass cell to detect reflected radio waves. The radar is a type of quantum sensor, an emerging technology that uses the quantum-mechanical properties of objects as measurement devices. It’s still a prototype, but its intended use is to image buried objects in situations such as constructing underground utilities, drilling wells for natural gas, and excavating archaeological sit

Transport is one of the main pillars of modern economies comprising a spectrum of individual systems and their interconnections that are intended to cover the mobility demand of people and goods. Transport systems include an extensive series of physical and organisational elements and are being characterised by an overall intrinsic complexity. These elements can be influencing each other directly and/or indirectly, linearly or nonlinearly, having also potential feedback cycles [1]. In particular

This quantum radar could image buried objects

technologyreview.com Sophia Chen 2025-12-03 20:00:00

The glass cell that serves as the radar’s quantum component is full of cesium atoms kept at room temperature. The researchers use lasers to get each individual cesium atom to swell to nearly the size of a bacterium, about 10,000 times bigger than the usual size. Atoms in this bloated condition are called Rydberg atoms. When incoming radio waves hit Rydberg atoms, they disturb the distribution of electrons around their nuclei. Researchers can detect the disturbance by shining lasers on the atoms

Robert Triggs / Android Authority TL;DR HONOR is apparently working on a smartphone with a 10,000mAh battery. This would be double the capacity of the Galaxy S25 Ultra’s battery and larger than some tablet batteries. It’s highly likely that the phone won’t offer a 10,000mAh battery if it launches in the EU.

The Great American EV Tax Credit Rush Has Begun

gizmodo.com Luc Olinga 2025-12-02 23:39:05

The great EV buying frenzy has officially begun. In the last 48 hours, Tesla has seen delivery times for some of its most popular models skyrocket from a few weeks to nearly six months, a clear signal that consumers are stampeding to buy an electric vehicle before a crucial federal tax credit disappears for good. This is the short-term sales boom that experts have been predicting, a last-chance gold rush for buyers. But for the EV industry, it’s also a sugar rush that could lead to a brutal cra

James Webb Finds Evidence of Free-Floating Planets So Large They Can Gather Their Own Planetary Systems

So much for heliocentrism. An international team of astronomers using observations made with the James Webb Space Telescope have found evidence of massive planets out there that're capable of forming their own planetary systems — without a star. These planets would be the center of something like a mini version of our solar system where other, smaller planets revolve around it.
