The Kremlin dismissed Zelensky’s decree allowing Moscow’s May 9 parade, calling it “clownery” and a “circus.” The comment followed Ukraine’s stated exclusion of Red Square from its weapons plan during the event from 10:00 Kyiv time, a move Kyiv linked to US-mediated talks and the planned 1,000-for-1,000 POW exchange.

In a groundbreaking achievement, researchers at the University of Science and Technology of China have sustained a quantum "Schrödinger's cat" state for an unprecedented 1,400 seconds, approximately 23 minutes.The team cooled 10,000 ytterbium-173 atoms to near absolute zero and used laser traps to place them in a superposition of two opposite spin states at once. Such delicate quantum superpositions typically collapse almost immediately due to environmental interference. However, by employing a specialized "decoherence-free subspace" and a carefully tuned "magic wavelength" optical lattice, the scientists created a protected quantum environment that dramatically shielded the atoms from noise.This remarkable feat extends far beyond record-breaking endurance. These long-lived superposition states are extraordinarily sensitive to tiny external influences, making them ideal building blocks for next-generation technologies such as ultra-precise magnetic sensors, next-level atomic clocks, and advanced navigation systems.On a fundamental level, the breakthrough opens new avenues to probe the limits of the Standard Model and search for unknown physical forces. With continued advances in vacuum technology, even longer coherence times may soon be possible. This progress brings humanity closer to practical fault-tolerant quantum computers and a richer understanding of the quantum realm.[Yaoyun Yang, Wei-Ting Luo, et al.

❗️Belgium’s Defence Ministry plans to deliver all 53 remaining Belgian F-16s to Ukraine by 2029, with the transfers tied to the phased arrival of F-35s replacing Belgium’s current fleet. The indicative schedule lists 7 jets in 2026, including 4 already decommissioned and used for training Ukrainian technicians, followed by 5 in 2027, 14 in 2028 and 27 in 2029.

And it was over before we knew it.

And it was over before we knew it. Moscow’s Victory Parade lasted 45 minutes and was not continuous, with broadcasts inserting videos of “SVO heroes” at training grounds and equipment absent from this year’s parade. The inserted footage included drones that did not appear in the procession.

For decades, forensic investigators have faced a major challenge: recovering usable fingerprints from bullet casings.

For decades, forensic investigators have faced a major challenge: recovering usable fingerprints from bullet casings. The intense heat, high-pressure gases, and friction generated during firing typically destroy or obscure the skin oils and sweat left behind by the shooter.A new technique developed by researchers at Maynooth University in Ireland shows that these prints are not erased — they are s...
