Lai Ka-ying is Hong Kong’s first astronaut. Her mentor saw her talent years ago

If you are working on a space station orbiting hundreds of kilometres above Earth, the woman set to become Hong Kong’s first astronaut when the mission launches this weekend is exactly the kind of person you want by your side, according to the professor who supervised her postgraduate studies. Lai Ka-ying was meticulous, patient and a skilled communicator who could break down highly technical ideas for others, Chow Kam-pui, an honorary associate professor at the University of Hong Kong, told the

UN event on nuclear non-proliferation treaty stumbles, US and Iran clash

A four-week United Nations conference reviewing the treaty to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons ended on Friday without agreement as the United States and Iran sparred over Iran’s nuclear programme. Vietnam’s UN Ambassador Do Hung Viet, who chaired the conference, announced that there was no consensus among the 191 parties to the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty on even a watered-down final document. He did not say which country or countries blocked a consensus. It was the third failure in a.

People who bought stocks early when they were still risky, unpopular, or getting hated on, what made you buy?

I’m talking about stocks before the hype, before everyone started calling them “obvious winners.” Like when the company still had real risks, bad sentiment, weak price action, or people were saying it was overvalued/dead money. How did you know it was worth buying back then? Was it actually conviction from research, or was it more of a calculated bet/gamble? What signs did you look for that made you think the market was wrong? And maybe more importantly, what made you hold through big drops or m

Chinese scientists grow heart’s ‘master conductor’ that could replace pacemaker

Scientists in Shanghai have used stem cells to create the world’s first laboratory-grown sinoatrial node – the tiny structure that acts as the heart’s natural pacemaker. Capable of beating autonomously, the organoid is a breakthrough that researchers say could transform cardiac disease research and drug screening. The heart’s ability to beat continuously and rhythmically depends on the sinoatrial node, which is nestled inside the right atrial chamber. Acting as the heart’s “master conductor”,...

Japanese female prison’s rehabilitation goal faces health, language barriers

Seated in a wheelchair, an elderly woman bends silently as her wrinkled fingers move with surprising speed to fold pieces of coloured origami paper into intricate shapes. Beside her, another woman does the same, both adding their finished pieces to a pile on the table without looking up or exchanging a word. Inside Tochigi Prison, where talking during work is forbidden, elderly women folding paper and sewing in silence reflect a broader test of Japan’s penal system: how to care for ageing,...

How China wins by avoiding war

Russian President Vladimir Putin arrived in Beijing in a much weaker position than he did more than four years ago, when he launched his invasion of Ukraine shortly after his last visit. US President Donald Trump left Beijing after much fanfare. However, he was criticised back at home for failing to deliver on any key aspect of American interests, such as committing China to pressuring Iran to end the war on US terms. His popular support is at a historic low. Putin, Trump and Chinese President..

¿Qué pasa después de que el QQQ rompe el rango de apertura?

Llevo un tiempo operando el Opening Range Breakout en QQQ y siempre me quedaba con la misma duda: ¿qué pasa exactamente después del breakout? La mayoría de la literatura se detiene justo en el momento de la ruptura, como si todo lo interesante terminara ahí. Así que decidí medirlo. Analicé datos intradiarios al minuto de QQQ de 2017 a 2024 y documenté la secuencia completa: el rango de apertura, el breakout, el retest, y el resultado.

A cloud above the clouds: US, China race to make space a computing platform

In 1957, the Soviet Union kicked off the Cold War’s space race, shocking the world by sending Sputnik, the world’s first artificial satellite, into orbit. Four years later, it did the same to cosmonaut Yuri Gagarin, making him the first human in space. In 1969, the US provided another image that defined the era: Neil Armstrong leaving the Eagle lunar lander and planting the American flag on the moon, declaring it “one small step for man, one giant leap for mankind.” For the two superpowers, the.

Ancient Chinese texts depict ‘immortal mirror’ akin to CT scan – an early notion of robots

Ancient China dreamed of future technology long before the modern age, conjuring visions of magic mirrors, ingenious machines and even lifelike wooden puppets. In the Tang dynasty (618–907) text Duyang Miscellaneous Records, a mysterious stone called the “immortal mirror” appears as a precursor to the CT scan. Found in the southwest of an unnamed land, the polished stone was said to span hundreds of kilometres. Passers-by could look into it like a mirror, but instead of reflecting their faces,..

47M, how to invest and live off €500k cash made from high-risk derivatives' trading over the last 10 years?

As the title suggests. 47M, living in Germany, currently earning around €40k net and saving around half of it. Tired of corporate life, no dependents, no debt.
