Improves usability with a portable design and evaluates 6G antenna performance with distortion-free non-metallic sensors. Technology transfer to domestic company completed, accelerating 6G commercialization. # In April 2019, South Korea ambitiously launched the world's first 5G mobile communication service. While 5G in the 3.5 GHz band was commercialized, the communication quality did not meet consumer expectations. The installation of base stations in the 28 GHz band, which would provide true 5G service, was slow due to profitability concerns. Consequently, the government reclaimed the frequency bands from all three major telecommunications companies last year. As countries around the world prepare for the 6G era, it is time to reflect on the disappointing experiences of 5G commercialization and focus on building the 6G infrastructure. Korea Research Institute of Standards and Science (KRISS) succeeded in developing domestically produced equipment to evaluate the performance of 6...

Bengaluru: In an advancement for tuberculosis research, scientists at Indian Institute of Science created a novel 3D hydrogel culture system that closely mimics the human lung. This provides a platform to track and study how tuberculosis bacteria infect lung cells and test the efficacy of therapeutics used to treat the infection. Mycobacterium tuberculosis (Mtb) is a dangerous pathogen.In 2022, it affected 10.6 million people and caused 1.3 million deaths, according to World Health Organisation. Led by Rachit Agarwal, associate professor at the department of bioengineering, the IISc team addressed limitations of traditional 2D culture models. These older models fail to replicate the complex 3D structure of lung tissue, potentially skewing research results. “It is a very old bug, and it has evolved with us quite a bit,” said Agarwal, who’s a corresponding author of the study, published in Advanced Healthcare Materials. The new hydrogel culture is composed of collagen, a key component of...

The forecast is welcome news for many East Coasters, who faced stifling conditions over the weekend. But the Southeast and Southern Plains are expected to continue to scorch this week. The unusually early heat wave that shattered temperature records across the Northeast, Mid-Atlantic States and Midwest last week is expected to subside by Monday, bringing relief to tens of millions of Americans. The National Weather Service forecast lower temperatures for much of the Mid-Atlantic on Monday. In Washington, the heat index — a measure of how conditions feel, with humidity taken into consideration — is expected to reach a high of 87 degrees, down from 102 on Sunday. Philadelphia is also expected to have a much lower heat index value, at 82 degrees, down from 104 on Sunday, forecasters say. And in Trenton, N.J. — the capital of the state, which climate experts say is warming faster than others in the region — the figure is expected to come down to 82, from 103 on Sunday. The forecast is wel...

  NASA has recently been keeping an eye on three asteroids that are moving toward Earth. It is important to note that Asteroid 2024 LZ4 will pass closer to Earth than the Moon, by 173,000 miles. Because it is so close, it stands out even more, but because it is only 72 feet long, about the length of an airplane, it has not been labeled as a possibly dangerous object. Understanding Near-Earth Objects (NEOs) Neoasteroids are asteroids that come close to Earth on their paths. Most asteroids are in the belt between Mars and Jupiter, but those close to Earth are closely watched because they could be dangerous. Criteria for “Potentially Hazardous” Classification An asteroid is considered possibly dangerous if it is within 4.6 million miles of Earth and is more than 150 meters across. Even though it is close, asteroid 2024 LZ4 doesn’t meet these requirements because it is too small. NASA and other space agencies keep a close eye on these objects in space to figure out their paths and the ...

With the official launch of Copilot+ PCs, Microsoft has also unleashed Windows 11 24H2. This most recent update to Windows 11 has been a long time in the works, and there have been numerous preview builds available. What is interesting is the way in which this launch is taking place. Copilot+ PC are now available with Windows 11 24H2 pre-installed, and it is also available to Insiders. The fact that systems have this version of the operating system installed means that development is complete (well, as complete as such work ever is), but the launch is dividing the Windows userbase into haves and have-nots -- in more ways than one.
