Glowing Planets, Seaweed Invasions & “Sleeper” Cancer Cures: Top Science Breakthroughs (Sept 2–3, 2025)

Glowing Planets, Seaweed Invasions & “Sleeper” Cancer Cures: Top Science Breakthroughs (Sept 2–3, 2025)

Space & Astronomy Baby Planet Caught in the Act: A landmark discovery in astronomy came from an international team that directly imaged a newborn exoplanet still in the process of formation. The planet, dubbed WISPIT 2b, is a gas giant roughly 5 million years old located around a young Sun-like star scitechdaily.com. Observations with ESO’s Very Large Telescope in Chile revealed WISPIT 2b as a faint dot within a multi-ringed protoplanetary disk of dust and gas ts2.tech scitechdaily.com. This makes WISPIT 2b the first unambiguous photo of a planet forming inside a ringed disk – essentially a baby planet still glowing from its

Dolby Vision 2 Unveiled: AI HDR Revolution or Just Hype? (What It Means for Your TV)

Dolby Vision 2 Unveiled: AI HDR Revolution or Just Hype? (What It Means for Your TV)

What Exactly Is Dolby Vision 2? How It Differs from Original Dolby Vision More than ten years after Dolby Vision first launched, Dolby Vision 2 marks the next generation of Dolby’s high dynamic range (HDR) video technology theverge.com. The original Dolby Vision (DV) set the gold standard for HDR by using dynamic metadata – allowing each scene or frame to have tailored brightness and color information – to vastly improve contrast, color depth, and detail over standard video formats. Dolby Vision 2 builds on that legacy but goes beyond traditional HDR, introducing new intelligence to adapt the picture in real

Glowing Planets, Monster Blooms & a ‘Next Ozempic’ – Science Highlights (Sept 1–2, 2025)

Space and Astronomy Baby Planet Still Glowing: In a landmark observation, astronomers directly imaged an infant planet still hot from its birth. The gas giant WISPIT 2b, roughly five Jupiters in mass and only ~5 million years old, was discovered orbiting within a multi-ring dust disk around a young star scitechdaily.com. Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope in Chile, the team captured WISPIT 2b shining in infrared – essentially catching it in the act of formation scitechdaily.com. It’s the first unambiguous photo of a planet in a multi-ring protoplanetary disk, offering a rare glimpse at early planet evolution scitechdaily.com. “Capturing an

Quantum Frenzy: Historic Breakthroughs & Bold Moves Unveiled in 48 Hours

Scientific Breakthroughs Spark a Quantum Leap Quantum Internet Node: In a breakthrough for quantum communication, researchers at the University of Innsbruck demonstrated a scalable quantum network node that connects trapped-ion qubits with photons sciencedaily.com. Using a string of calcium ions as qubits, the team moved each ion into an optical cavity and triggered it with a laser to emit a single entangled photon linked to that ion’s quantum state sciencedaily.com. By repeating this for ten ions, they generated a stream of entangled photons ready to carry quantum information to other nodes. The Innsbruck prototype achieved a high entanglement fidelity of
