It wasn't the average marsquake that the Insight Mars lander heard rip-roaring through the red planet's ground last Christmas Eve.
NASA's Mars Reconnaissance Orbiter apparently found the source of the rumble a couple of months later from its vantage point in space: a spectacular meteor strike over 2,000 miles away near Mars' equator, estimated to be one of the largest impacts observed on the neighboring planet.
But what's thrilled scientists perhaps as much as or more than the recorded seismic activity is what the meteor uncovered when it slammed into Mars — huge, boulder-size chunks of ice blasted out of the crater. Up until now, underground ice hadn't been found in this region, the warmest part of the planet.

Anyone who has been paying attention, however, will have realized that these visions often differ greatly. While Meta focuses on creating virtual reality environments, companies like Microsoft and Nvidia are developing metaverse environments for collaborating and working on digital projects. At the same time, those who believe the future of the internet is decentralized and built on blockchain are experimenting with non-fungible tokens (NFTs) to enable ownership of digital assets and decentralized autonomous organizations (DAOs) designed to bring digital democracy to the virtual worlds we inhabit.

Das Metaverse ist ein simulierter Markt
Apps wie Decentraland und Horizon Worlds versprechen ein Internet zum Anfassen. Doch noch interessiert das kaum jemanden.
Ist das Metaverse bloß eine Blase?
Das Metaverse begann als ein Begriff in einem Science-Fiction-Roman, heute ist er das angesagteste Buzzword der Techbranche - und ein Versprechen auf das Internet der Zukunft. Dieses Versprechen ist schon jetzt Milliarden wert, auch wenn zweifelhaft ist, ob sich diese Investitionen auszahlen werden. Meta, der Konzern hinter Facebook, Whatsapp, Instagram und Oculus-VR-Entwickler Reality Labs, setzt voll darauf. Aber auch die Blockchain-Szene beansprucht den Begriff für ihre Idee vom Web3.

According to Gartner, by 2026 30% of companies worldwide will have meta-ready products and services. The convergence of new technologies such as Augmented Reality (AR), Virtual Reality (VR), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) are enabling companies to not only simplify business processes and improve decision making, but revolutionise the ways customers can interact and experience products and services. While there is plenty of debate on the social and legal aspects of the metaverse, these new immersive worlds are turning virtual experiences into products and opening up new business opportunities.

The Register has reported from Gartner's Symposium event in Australia, where the intraverse was described as, "an interactive space that melds an intranet and a metaverse".
Gartner reportedly encouraged attendees to not "think of a metaverse as a single thing to build", but instead "a collection of techs such as augmented reality to be used as a training or collaboration environment, or a way to add AI avatars as a customer service option".

But what if, instead of thinking of the metaverse as a set of interconnected virtual places, we think of it as a communications medium? Using this metaphor, we see the metaverse as a continuation of a line that passes through messaging and email to “rendezvous”-type social apps like Zoom, Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and, for wide broadcast, Twitch + Discord. This is a progression from text to images to video, and from store-and-forward networks to real time (and, for broadcast, “stored time,” which is a useful way of thinking about recorded video), but in each case, the interactions are not place based but happening in the ether between two or more connected people. The occasion is more the point than the place. Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/topic/21st-century-innovative-technologies-and-developments/?&tag=Metaverse

Agrivoltaics - the practice of using land for both solar energy and agriculture - is on the rise across France.
In the Haute-Saône region, in the northeastern part of the country, an experiment is being conducted by solar-energy company TSE. It is hoping to find out whether solar energy can be generated without hindering large-scale cereal crops.
Previous attempts to experiment with agrivoltaics have been through smaller-scale projects. But, keen to see if it can thrive on an industrial level, 5,500 solar panels are being spread over this farm in the commune town of Amance by TSE.
If successful, the crossover could be revolutionary for both the agricultural and solar panel industries. Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/t/21st-century-innovative-technologies-and-developments/?&tag=Renewable+Energy

When we think about clothing, we usually think of it as something we wear to cover our body, convey our style and protect us from the environment. What if the cloth changes its visual appearance when you stretch your hand?... such mechanoresponsive material has enormous potential in a large range of transformative applications in the beauty and health industry.
Cholesteric Liquid Crystal Elastomer (CLCE) is a structurally coloured polymer system capable of changing its colour by mechanical deformation, due to the coupling of colour of helically aligned liquid crystal molecules and the viscoelasticity of rubber. Prof. Jan Lagerwall, Dr. Yong Geng and Rijeesh Kizhakidathazhath at the University of Luxembourg created colour-changing CLCE fibres that can be easily sewn into the fabric.

Google has silently acquired a widely-used K-12 data and analytics company.
The tech giant confirmed, in an email to EdSurge, that it's picked up BrightBytes for an undisclosed amount.
The acquisition does not appear to have been publicly announced. And Google declined to provide any details, including when the sale had taken place.
But an email about the deal sent by Google to a school district in early May, obtained by EdSurge, cites May 17th as the expected date of the transaction.
The acquisition will help Google to transform school district data “into actionable intelligence to improve the academic and overall well-being of all students,” the email says.
It also states that Google might have updated the policy and privacy terms of use after the acquisition. Learn more / En savoir plus / Mehr erfahren: https://www.scoop.it/t/21st-century-innovative-technologies-and-developments/?&tag=Acquisitions

Als ihre Büste gefunden wurde, galt Nofretete als schönste Frau der Welt. Ihre Mumie wurde nie gefunden – bis heute. Eine DNA-Untersuchung soll Sicherheit bringen.
Als die Büste der Nofretete 1912 gefunden wurde, hielt die Welt den Atem an. Die ägyptische Königin gilt als Inbegriff weiblicher und majestätischer Schönheit. Ihr schlanker Hals, die großen Augen und die hohen Wangenknochen elektrisierten die Betrachter – ihre Haltung demonstriert ihre Stellung weit über den normalen Sterblichen. Dieser Nimbus wirkt noch heute. Ihr Name bedeutet übersetzt "die Schöne ist gekommen", und die Büste folgt den Regeln des "Goldenen Schnitts" mit perfekten Proportionen.
Nun wurden im Tal der Könige zwei Mumien entdeckt. Zahi Hawass, der frühere Staatsminister für Altertümer in Ägypten, hat die Ausgrabungen im Tal der Könige im heutigen Luxor durchgeführt. Er glaubt, dass es sich bei der einen Mumie um Nofretete handelt und bei der anderen um ihre Tochter Ankhesenamun, die Frau von Tutanchamun.

Neuer Bluttest erkennt 50 Krebsarten
Fakt ist: Je früher Krebs entdeckt wird, desto besser kann er behandelt werden. Dann ist der Tumor kleiner und leichter zu entfernen. Zugleich ist die Wahrscheinlichkeit, dass Krebszellen bereits gestreut haben und es Metastasen gibt, geringer.
Zu den gängigsten Diagnose-Methoden gehören Röntgen- und Ultraschalluntersuchungen. Direkt im Blut der Patient:innen Tumor-Zellen zu erkennen, ist seit langem Ziel der Forschung. Bisher war die Diagnostik in diesem Bereich nicht sehr ausgereift und Krebs-Erkrankungen häufig schon fortgeschritten.
Ein neuer Bluttest will das ändern: Über 50 unterschiedliche Krebsarten soll der Test mit einer einzigen Blutprobe erkennen - und gleichzeitig den Ursprung im Körper auffinden.
Das Wissenschaftler:innen erhofft sich dadurch, Tumore auszuspüren, die sonst nur schwer zu entdecken sind - beispielsweise bei Bauchspeicheldrüsen-Krebs. "Diese Studie deutet darauf hin, dass es Hoffnung gibt, Krebsarten zu erkennen, die derzeit nicht erkannt werden können", erklärte Professor Deborah Schrag aus dem Forschungsteam.

THE TROUBLE WITH THE METAVERSE
Innovators are diving into a new and immersive virtual space, but with new technology comes new threats. We bring forward possible problematic issues that metaverse pioneers should be wary of.
What is the metaverse?
Download Metaverse or Metaworse? Cybersecurity Threats Against the Internet of Experiences
Right now, there is no definitive answer. There are plenty of differing opinions about what the metaverse is and how it fits into the bigger picture of the internet. But the metaverse is still in the early days of development, and many companies are creating new technologies to carve out their nook in this immersive virtual landscape.
For now, we can define the metaverse as a cloud distributed, multi-vendor, immersive-interactive operating environment that users can access through different categories of connected devices (both static and mobile). It uses Web 2.0 and Web 3.0 technologies to provide an interactive layer on top of the existing Internet. As proposed, it is an open platform for working and playing inside an extended reality environment, and it will also be a communications layer for smart city devices.
However, given the changing circumstances, we fully expect our definition to evolve as the metaverse concept evolves. Of course, this uncertainty makes securing the environment much more complicated.
