Chinese scientists have achieved a breakthrough in satellite communications by using a 2-watt laser to transmit data at 1 Gbps from 36,000 km, outperforming Starlink. Their AO-MDR synergy method overcomes atmospheric turbulence, marking a major advancement for global satellite data transmission. Professor Wu Jian led the team behind this innovation.
Researchers globally are leveraging AI to develop digital models of human cells, aiming to predict cellular responses to genetic changes or drugs. Projects by Chan Zuckerberg Initiative, Google DeepMind, and others seek to revolutionize biology. Emma Lundberg calls this "the Holy Grail of biology," highlighting AI's ability to "learn directly from data."
WhatsApp lacks a traditional recycle bin, but deleted messages and media can be recovered. On Android, use a file manager to access WhatsApp media folders. For both Android and iPhone, restore chats via Google Drive or iCloud backups. WhatsApp’s built-in storage manager also helps free up space by deleting old chats and media.
