"At the end of the day, we are neutrons, electrons and photons. That's what we are. We, as human beings are nothing else but a battery and end-gate." — Dr. Patrick Soon-Shing, surgeon, cancer drug developer, advocate of quantum oncotherapeutics, and owner Los Angeles Times.

Note: Quantum oncotherapeutics is broadly defined as the use of quantum technologies to revolutionize cancer treatment by understanding molecules at the quantum level, and leveraging the principles of quantum mechanics for diagnostics and drug discovery.

Thorium 229—a rare, radioactive isotope that has an uncanny ability to jump to an excited state using a very small amount of energy—specifically 8 electron volts—is instrumental in the development of nuclear clocks. Nuclear clocks will be used for self-driving cars and deep space navigation and can identify locations to the inch—whereas atomic clocks can only measure to feet.

Google struck an acquihire and licensing deal with AI coding assistant company Windsurf for $2.4 billion. An X post conversation between Balaji Srinivasan and Deva Hazarika brings clarity. @Balajis writes: 

"Can I clarify something? Google is actually acquiring Windsurf. But the new mechanism to do this which doesn't run into bogus "antitrust" objections is to buy the assets rather than the company. Like all of these other deals, investors still get paid, and employees still get an exit."

On-device interference is a challenge to rollout 6G. The DOD's COFFEE program is developing RF filters that can isolate unwanted signals with precision and mitigate interference in congested environments.

Source.

Note: Beam forming antennas are able to direct signal beams towards specific users or devices, enhancing signal strength, reducing interference.

Note:  Research suggests that moving beyond 5G and 6G systems will feature space linkages and dynamic bandwidth capabilities. 

Note: According to an historic IARIA Panel chaired by Timothy Pham, Chief Engineer for NASA's Deep Space Network at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, 8G has been described as able to dynamically adjust bandwidth allocation to optimize resource utilization and involve non-terrestrial (satellite networks, aerials /drones) and terrestrial infrastructure; and operate on higher frequencies compared to 6G. These may include frequencies in the petahertz range which would enable superfast, millisecond transmissions. The document projects time-frame for arrival: 2048.
