Episode notes
US Bans Chinese Tech in Cars
- The Biden administration advises safeguarding critical infrastructure by banning Chinese and Russian tech in connected cars.
- This ban targets software from 2027 and hardware from 2030, focusing on vehicles under 10,000 pounds.
Sweden's Nuclear Waste Solution
- Sweden's Forsmark Nuclear Waste Repository signifies a major step in nuclear waste management.
- It safely stores radioactive waste for 100,000 years, using copper canisters and bentonite clay in bedrock.
Quantum Breakthrough
- Scientists created a "Schrödinger's cat" state in silicon, improving quantum computing reliability.
- This uses an antimony atom with eight spin directions instead of two, increasing resilience and facilitating scalability.
