The White House has published a policy memo asking NASA to create a new time standard for the Moon by 2026. Coordinated Lunar Time (LTC) will establish an official time reference to help guide future lunar missions. The US, China, Japan, India and Russia have space missions to the Moon planned or completed.
NASA (and the White House) aren't the only ones trying. The European Space Agency is also trying to make a time zone outside of Earth's… zone.
Given the Moon's weaker gravity, time moves slightly faster there. "The same clock we have on Earth would move at a different rate on the Moon," NASA space communications and navigation chief Kevin Coggins told Reuters.
You saw Interstellar, right? Er, just like that. Exactly like that. No further questions.
The most error-free quantum solution yet, apparently.
What if we could build a machine working at the quantum level that could tackle complex calculations exponentially faster than a computer limited by classic physics? Despite all the heady dreams of quantum computing and press releases from IBM and Google, it's still a what-if. Microsoft now says it's developed the most error-free quantum computing system yet, with Quantinuum. It's not a thing I can condense into a single paragraph. You… saw Interstellar, right?
Stability AI just unveiled Stable Audio 2.0, an upgraded version of its music-generation platform. With this system, you can use your own text to create up to three minutes of audio, which is roughly the length of a song. You can hone the results by choosing a genre or even uploading audio to inspire the algo. It's fun — try it out. Just don't add vocals, trust me.
Apple, hunting for its next iPhone / Apple Watch / Vision Pro (maybe?), might be trying to get into robots. According to Bloomberg's Mark Gurman, one area the company is exploring is personal robotics — and it started looking at electric vehicles too. The report says Apple has started working on a mobile robot to follow users around their home and has already developed a table-top device that uses a robot to move a screen around.
