China surpassed Starlink with the first full-fledged 5G connection in space: for the first time, a video call was made from a satellite to a regular smartphone. Scientists from the Chinese Satellite Network Group (China Sat Net) have successfully conducted the world's first 5G video call directly from a satellite to a standard smartphone. The experiment was conducted in May 2025 using the Guowang Satellite Network, a project that involves launching about 13,000 satellites and is a direct competitor to SpaceX's Starlink. The special feature of this achievement is that the connection was implemented using the international 5G NTN (Extraterrestrial Network) standard, that is, the smartphone was connected to the satellite using the same protocols as to terrestrial 5G networks - without the need for special equipment or modified devices.

Oracle has announced the largest artificial intelligence deal in history. The company is investing about $40 billion in the purchase of Nvidia chips and the construction of a new open data center in the United States. This center will be located in Abilene, Texas, and its energy consumption will be 1.2 gigawatts, which roughly corresponds to the amount of energy consumed by a million homes in America. The infrastructure is based on the latest Nvidia GB200 Grace Blackwell processors. Each chip combines two B200 accelerators and a 72-core central processor, and also contains built-in artificial intelligence modules for diagnostics and acceleration of data processing. Their main advantage is energy efficiency. Compared to the previous generation of Nvidia chips, they consume 25 times less energy at a similar load. TSMC is engaged in manufacturing using the advanced 5nm N4P process technology.

The most disastrous Nvidia graphics card release in history. Users of the "cheap" GeForce RTX 5060 and GeForce RTX 5060 Ti complain of a "black screen" and crashes, Nvidia fixes the gaps with a new BIOS. The release of all accelerators of the latest GeForce RTX 50 line was accompanied by various problems — some video cards were blocked and turned into "bricks", others simply encountered a "blue screen" or "black screen". Now the same thing has happened with the latest GeForce RTX 5060 and GeForce RTX 5060 Ti: users complain of crashes from games, "black screen of death" and various crashes. In some cases, users can't even log into the BIOS, which is very strange. In response, Nvidia released a new version of the BIOS update utility.

A powerful flare occurred on the sun today — the Institute of Applied Geophysics of the Russian Academy of Sciences classified it as a flare of the highest class X1,1. It is not yet known how these events will affect the Earth. But powerful solar flares are usually accompanied by solar plasma emissions, the clouds of which, reaching the Earth, can provoke magnetic storms. And this affects the condition of weather-dependent people and can cause problems with radio communication.

Ukraine's accession to the EU will lead to a depletion of resources, Orban said. Ukraine's accession to the EU will pave the way for the depletion of the bloc's resources, Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban has said.

For the first time, scientists have confirmed the existence of "mirrors of time" — a phenomenon in which waves are not reflected in space, but unfold in time. This discovery, published in the journal Nature Physics, was carried out by a team from New York led by Dr. Hussein Musa, who changed the properties of the metamaterial so that the signal goes back in time. The essence of the effect is as if you threw a ball, and it bounced not off the wall, but directly into your hand, as if there was no throw. This became possible due to a sharp and precise change in the resistance (impedance) of the system, which was previously considered impossible in the presence of energy sources. This is not time travel, but a new physical reality that can change communication technologies, sensors, photonic devices, and even the approach to information storage. Scientists are already planning experiments with other types of waves and larger-scale systems.

Harvard called this decision illegal and harmful to the university. The head of the department, Kristi Noem, said that similar measures could apply to other universities. According to sources, the ban is related to an investigation at Harvard amid criticism from Trump and his entourage — they accuse the university of failing to protect Jewish students.
