NewTqnia Podcast
A concise twice-weekly briefing on the technology stories that matter.
This briefing examines Nvidia's agreement to buy Hugging Face, the UN's assessment that sustained warming above 1.5°C is effectively unavoidable, a coordinated disruption of the Sality botnet, one unexplained dark-matter-like event in LUX-ZEPLIN, and a newly observed ten-sided atmospheric wave around Saturn's south pole.
Listen and explore the storiesThis briefing follows NASA's Roman Space Telescope after launch, the halted trial of a personalized mRNA cancer treatment, shrinking recovery time for coral reefs, Europe's contracted AI-supercomputer expansion, engineered transfer RNA in cystic-fibrosis models, and a tunnelling transistor designed to switch at much lower voltage.
Listen and explore the storiesThis briefing covers a newly approved RAS inhibitor for metastatic pancreatic cancer, a court ruling on the Pentagon's Anthropic blacklist, mandatory safeguards for teenage social-media users, disputed evidence of stronger El Niño variability, an FBI disruption of router-based hacking tools, and the first data from a deep-underground dark-matter experiment.
Listen and explore the storiesThis briefing examines China’s mass recall over concealed emergency door releases, a zinc-iodine battery tested across tens of thousands of cycles, an outdoor entangled-photon link, a proposed blood test for weak vaccine response, and a model for producing green methanol without drawing scarce freshwater.
Listen and explore the storiesThis briefing examines a multi-turn safety gap in tool-using AI agents, China’s latest reusable-rocket milestone, robot traffic officers working public streets in Hangzhou, and evidence that different mosquito species prefer different human scent profiles.
Listen and explore the storiesThis briefing examines a newly observed Arctic cloud-forming process missing from climate models, a pacemaker prototype powered by heart motion, and a room-temperature device that recovered data through correlated microwave signals.
Listen and explore the storiesThis briefing covers an AI-controlled F-16 test, a real-world evaluation of medical AI on emergency cases, a possible explanation for JWST’s mysterious little red dots, new evidence that the pace of warming may shape Atlantic circulation risk, and a preclinical HIV treatment combination that suppressed detectable virus in infant macaques after therapy ended.
Listen and explore the storiesThis briefing covers AI agents used alongside human hackers against Taiwan, a scaled perovskite solar module, evidence for a gas-wrapped early black hole, diamond melting measurements relevant to fusion, a programmable DNA nanosyringe, and laboratory-grown human heart-valve tissue.
Listen and explore the storiesThis briefing examines hostile SIM commands affecting connected devices, a private AI workbench linked to North Korean hackers, a US dispute over research-grant oversight, early findings from blood-filtering treatment, improved solar-storm tracking, and an AI model offering more useful cyclone forecast lead time.
