- 1Scientists warn Earth's planetary boundaries have been breached●'Planetary boundaries' necessary for flourishing of life have been breached
Scientists warn that the planetary boundaries needed for life on Earth to flourish have now been breached, meaning human activity has pushed critical Earth systems beyond safe limits. The warning highlights mounting pressure on climate, biodiversity and other ecological processes, with researchers calling it a sign that humanity is operating outside the stable conditions that allowed civilisations to develop.
- 2Quantum Computer Operates in Space for the First Time▼For The First Time, a Quantum Computer Has Operated in Space
Scientists have reportedly run a quantum computer in space for the first time, a milestone for quantum computing and space technology. Operating quantum hardware beyond Earth could pave the way for space-based quantum networks and experiments impossible under ground-based conditions. Details about which system flew, aboard what platform, and the results achieved remain limited so far.
